  ✨ What do YOU think is Edward Witten’s greatest contribution — string theory, M-theory, or his work connecting physics with mathematics?<br><br>Also, do you think he should have already won the Nobel Prize? Why or why not?<br><br>👇 Share your thoughts in the comments

  He never received a Nobel Prize because there is no Nobel Prize in Mathematics—only in Physics. Physics, however, is an experimental science: if something cannot be experimentally proven, then it belongs to mathematical abstraction rather than physics. Therefore, he could be considered a physicist only if his theory makes experimental predictions that can be tested; otherwise, it remains a purely mathematical model. That is why he received the Fields Medal, which is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in Mathematics!!!

  At first glance it seems like a chaos of symbols, but this formula is one of humanity&apos;s most profound creations. <br> <br>This is the Lagrangian of the Standard Model, the equation that summarizes our knowledge of fundamental particles and the forces that govern the universe. <br> <br>This “Almost Everything Theory” describes three of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. It predicts particles like quarks, electrons and the Higgs boson, confirmed in 2012. <br> <br>Each symbol represents a specific interaction. Its beauty lies in explaining from sunlight to the structure of atoms, with a precision that pink sublime it.

  I don’t know if string theory will ever be proven correct, but this man’s talent in both mathematics and physics is truly epic. He may well be the only genius since Newton to have made monumental contributions and exerted profound influence in both fields. Thank God this man was born on Earth.

  Waiting for a long time for this. The only physicist to win fields medal.

  If we introduce localization and polarization of coordinates into Edward Witten&apos;s M-theory, and introduce a non-stationary axiomatics that goes beyond the usual bipolarity, it will transform into Vasily Lensky&apos;s Theory of Multipolarity!

  Edward Witten sounds very much like his predecessor, the great Theoretical Physicist and Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman (1918-88), whose legendary lectures made the complex so interesting and (seemingly) understandable.
