His lecture flows like poetry and was like listening to the great tales of Brothers Grim or Andersen. I loved every minute. I hope he gives many more like this

Elementary, but establishing an elegant and useful connection.

Beautiful, beautiful exposition by a truly brilliant mind. The "why" is everything in mathematics--it's the holy grail of rewards

When you go down to the sub-atomic level with knot theory, several other theories of physics become more mathematically consistent than Witten's own work.
