The conversation is sparkling! Historical footage of Abdus Salam, Dennis Sciama, Edward Witten and Paolo Budinich talking about physics. Note that the conversation took place in 1986, not 1990 as stated in the caption.

So Dirac had already known that if super symmetry was authentic, it would have already been discovered. Reimer's tension scale was super close, but he didn't include time. Mr. Whiten had a moment to go in another direction and didn't listen to Dirac. Edit, Witten

@@Perrydog101 agreed, if super symmetry was more than a concept, the tension scale would have included chronological intervals. The inclusion of the conception of time is indeed a dilemma with both Dirac and Reimer, and the tension scale in general. BTW I know nothing about Physics, (I hope I spelled that right)... I wanted to demonstrate how CHARLATANS like Deepak Chopra try to fake their own knowledge of Physics/Quantum Physics, with the sole purpose of appearing smart to sell more bullshit books. (I'm demonstrating it's not difficult to fake, because 99.99% of people cant tell the difference unfortunately)

Witten’s knowledge of physics, math and history runs circles around his piers. I’m convinced he must have a photographic memory because his recall of extreme detail is uncanny.

Interesting to visit 30 years after having a shared office next to Salam's. At. 11:00 Salam makes a reference to Chris Isham who never got into strings as far as I remember. At 19:00 Witten mentions Tom Kibble's cosmic strings - a beautiful idea, very big around 1990, not borne out by experiment. Kibble really deserved the Nobel for the Higgs mechanism for the later 1967 paper (Weinberg thought so). I do recall Salam giving a seminar on Chern-Simons which Witten had been pushing. And brings back memory of E8 - every 2nd seminar used to be on that.

Ikjyot Singh Kohli There are some great physicist writing books out there for the masses (Weinberg, Lederman, etc), but the spokesman roles are consumed by Tyson, Kaku and a number of merely competent physicists. I think these spokesmen realized their limitations in the upper echelon of physics and decided to cash in instead. I don't have too much of a problem with that. We can still get great courses from Witten, Susskind and others. The thing that infuriates me the most are the quacks and utter crackpots out there who spread misinformation/conspiracy for profit. Many militant theists also add to the spread of misinformation.

@K2Karakoram his father was a physicist,, and he had many of the requirements from the diverse courses in the degree, and because he's one of the smartest people alive. . his father is actually still alive.. age 98.. he explains much in this video... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-06yXsnTFF-U.html

This would explain a lot. His knowledge of physics, math and history runs circles around his piers. I’m convinced he must have a photographic memory because his recall of extreme detail is uncanny. And most exciting is his passion and love of the subjects and intellect, he gets almost giddy when he talks. You would expect fire to come out of his ears at times. His thought is palpable.

"The plasma physics involved would look rather complicated; Complicated enough that I certainly would never come to understand it myself" Classic Ed Witten! Borderline sarcasm wrapped so beautifully in a soup of realism. Dear Ed......please don't die until you are at least 400 years old.
@pickitypopsnickitylovejone6558
Great observation, but I do not think it is partially sarcastic, I think he speaks from a very human perspective. To us he may seem the intellectual god, but to himself only a human with limitations to his comprehension. That indicates to me a very healthy dosage of humility and, as you accurately state, realism on his part. He does not assume that he'd understand or be proficient at just anything, especially not in physics (specifically "obscure" physics).
