The history of Science and results from Mathematical Logic strongly points to the fact that no theory of reality will be ever "complete"; a "theory of everything" is an unattainable dream and the ultimate prize of reductionism, but that dream is bound to fail and that is really very fortunate because reality will always bring new surprises to uncover/discover and the dogmatism and complacency pervading modern scientific thinking and theoretical physics in particular will be replaced by a more objective philosophical approach to reality. String theory is a very successful Mathematical theory but it is a failure as a Physics theory of reality.

walter bishop High intuition requiresexpertise. Of course, he has to learn the material, but he also has to have high fluency and control over variables in the course of experimental thought.. Wittens brain is likely efficient in the 'pre-analytical' process of creating, analyzing and breaking down experimental (empirical) models. Fluency in higher cognition, can to much extent be developed, but the structure of the brain determine the natural capacity(s) for intuition in different domains (some argue the density and type of glial cells, and overall connectivity of the brain). These capacities are also not the same as IQ, which is involved in analyzing/evaluating models 'after' we have constructed them.

He is so humble that he doesnt say that he was the main actor who proved the 5 string theories to be limiting cases of one theory.

I expected more of Witten's work , I wonder why his abstract algebra are not shown.

He is very modest,For being so far ahead of everyone else in his field. Loo

You can tell he's very proud of his kids.❤

Young people need to listen on how he speaks. He thinks first then speaks. No stuttering or using the word “ like” a million times. With that said I am clueless what he is explaining but I am here because of joe Rogan. This man can also be categorized in the “ asmr “ algorithm because I am falling asleep.

He seems like such a chill dude!! Wife, kids, funny, extremely smart is almost an understatement lol. Would love to have a beer with him and talk some physics.

he has an unique brain and one of the best in the history no doubt about that,and i dont think the voice matters that much.And the best part is he seems a cool and nice guy,which i rate better as having an unique brain as his

I'm thinking if anyone could explain economics it would be this guy.

I'm beginning to understand why "the rest of the maths and physics community" say they're "afraid" of him. He's brilliant and accomplished, and also... He's not a Brian Greene, Jim al Khalili or Michio Kaku, who are great people-communicators, but more like "The Borg" - lay down the facts, you have to assimilate.

I should also mention that SUSY has effectively been proven to not exist at this point. The same can effectively be said for String Theory. See, for instance, Not Even Wrong by Peter Woit.

If everyone loved what they did as much as he does, this world would be a paradise of passions and love instead of a zoo of human toil and struggle.

Been following Mr.Witten since 2001, he is not from this world.❤

IMO the 'treassure', by digging into the nature of our reality, which we'll find out one day, is the most fundamental 'element', which I call 'primordial consciousness' -- it is essential for making up everything we observe in our Universe, from fundamental particles like quarks, photons, electrons, gravitons, to what we see as human consiousness (which is result of human brains being imbeded with this field of primordial consciousness).

I really think language and articulation must be such a limitation for someone like Witten because they are not sophisticated or big enough to express his vision and thoughts.
