String Compactifications, Edward Witten | Lecture 1 of 2 

I don't pretend to understand anything that's happening. I'm just here to witness a genius in his element.

I've just ran over the numbers, Ed seems to know what he is doing.

Keep coming back to these lectures that one day would start comprehending them

I over g-string 7:26

This guy must be from another planet :)

wow....some superb content my man !

Totally agree with Witten so he's quite right about things.

This dude was a history major in college (no kidding)...

I incorporated the what the F-theory while watching this....

This guy is the only physicist who won field madel of mathematics..!! ED WITTEN is one of the smartest person living today and he is absolutely a genius..!!

Yikes! This fella's intellectual capacity sure does reinforce the notion that 99.999% of us are just meat with eyes.

He's the only fucking genius who could understand a lot of things - I hope he won't die soon

Obviously.

I agree

Genio total

I hope I will be able to somehow understand what's going in when I'm done with my physics degred

This lecture almost explains the intricacies of the prep line at the Taco Bell where I work. I once got the same explanation when I called a customer service rep in India. Do the best students get to stay after school and clean the erasers?

I like 4-dimensional subspace

My intuition ... there is something wrong here in this way of thinking...but can not explain why yet. Need more think about it.

Tried to listen in 0,5x speed. Sounded a lot more like me... :D

--today if you can't teach a better faster modern way than taking too much time using chalk; nevermind...if the best mind on earth does so --who really cares. Yes ! his message is infinitely higher -but we got learners and TEACHER!

I AM THE PROFESSOR.

Great to fall asleep to 💤💤💤

I feel like scientists could prove, using properly defined mathematical tools, could create many different theories, without requiring them to have any validity..

Welcome to the church of String Theory. Profess your faith in your lord and savior Dark Matter. Bishop Witten will give today's sermon.

I HAVE RESURRECTED AT LEAST 67 PEOPLE.

I am not a string theorist or a particle physicist or a professional mathematician, but an electrical engineer. Yet, it is strange that I do get the hang of the topic, implying that deep down, nature is simple.

He is very very very very slowly getting it from god....god said the hidden things belong to me.and not man..yet god is mercyfull.and can open the closed..if he chooses...yet a beggging person can get a blessding and have the door cracked a little by god

I HAVE COMPLETED ONE WORD.

With ed who needs mushrooms. ....hes fantastic 😊😊

I wish I understood this.

@9:19 given LHC results c.2019 you might want to get down to N=0 SUSY Ed. Makes String Theory inconsistent huh? Too bad for string theory. But don't cry. If SUSY is never found, it will not mean String theory is useless, in fact it has been incredibly useful in proving gravity is compatible with QM in principle, but likely strings just aren't our world, we have something obviously similar but different.

It's all Greek to me! And I'm Greek! So... τρέχα γύρευε!

In a high-vaulted gothic chamber, witten in a chair at his desk, restless.Witten:Ah! Now i´ve done physics. i´ve finished relativity and Quantums. And sadly even strings. taken fierce pains, from end to end. Now here i´m a fool for sure! No wiser than i was before.

I reccomend watching fredric schuller's series which is on the maths required for theoretical physics which will give you a chance at understaning string theory ru-vid.com/group/PLPH7f_7ZlzxTi6kS4vCmv4ZKm9u8g5yic

*The science of Distorting reflective surfaces/ mirrors* You have just entered twilight zone of pure mind and imagination, using mathematical language (of multiple dimensions and projections on curved surfaces)Trying to prove the hypothetical with another hypothetical, an Exercise in futility.

Nerd!!!
