thoughts?

i'll start.

>so, well, physicists usually are not much interested in the details of mathematical proofs, which means that usually even physicists, in his work, modern mathematical ideas are important, might not really understand deeply the ideas that they're working with, and on the other hand, since the difficulty for mathematicians to understand quantum field theory has endured, it makes it extremely difficult for mathematicians to understand what physicists are really trying to do
bam, sick burn. mathematicians BTFO. can't into QFT. losers.

OP confirmed retard
Witten is still right

Let an axiom of fairy mathematics denote a structure that encompasses a description of itself at a more rapid pace than the two-party analytical system of the (quantum physicsist,mathematician) tuple does.

This was a problem for semiotics all along. The fairy axiom was a ruse; it doesn't matter if you assume or reject it: There is no closed communication circuit to derive meaning in the tuple.

I'd like to carry out HIS pants decomposition, if you get my meaning eh brother?

It's a burn to both really, but probably a bit more burn of the physicists since

Remember that Witten is basicly a mathematician.

I appreciate the leisurely pace of Wittens balding. It's very decadent.

I however appreciate the decadency of Witten memes far less. Only brainlets are swayed by the ((( phenotype ))). Cya guys.

I have also been impressed by this. Surely a sign of his unique intelligence.
