Can anyone fill me in on the [math] \color{red}{s} \color{orange}{p} \color{yellow}{e} \color{green}{c} \color{blue}{t} \color{purple}{r} \color{red}{u} \color{orange}{m} [/math] of a hermitian operator?

we have our top men working on the study of spectrums. It is possibly the most important study of the 21st centurty

Does Witten understand the gender spectrum?

It's just the set of eigenvalues of the operator. In QM this equates to the possible values of a measurement.

what if the spectrum is, dare I say it, continuous?

The spectrum of an operator consists of more than just eigenvalues. Eigenvalues are the point spectrum.
