I would just name the fields.
Molecular biology, paleontology, geology.

Unironically this. This guy is on a different level in terms of what he's contributed to theoretical physics (most of it has nothing to do with string theory)

like what?

>>11181446
Here are just a few of the things he did in the 80s that have nothing to do with string theory or topology. As the decades go on it gets harder for me to follow his papers.

He invented supersymmetric quantum mechanics, which breathed some new life into ordinary undergraduate quantum mechanics (you can apply it to the harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom, etc)

He helped come up with the Witten-Veneziano mechanism which explains why a real world particle called the eta meson has the mass it does (this was a puzzle for a lot of people in the 70s)

He invented the Wess-Zumino-Witten model, which is a field theory that has all sorts of applications in condensed matter

He brought back an idea by someone named Skyrme that protons and neutrons and related particles (baryons) are really topological defects kind of like magnetic monopoles in a quark condensate field

>>11181525

but supersymmetry is a meme

>>11181719
Nah, particle physics being secretly supersymmetric at high energies might be a meme, but the idea itself is good. The point of SUSY quantum mechanics is you can use SUSY to simplify problems. Like I said, the hydrogen atom can be considered from the point of view of SUSY quantum mechanics. It turns up in lots of places you wouldn't expect.

van Benthem is based. I don't care about anything Chomsky said from the mid-90s on. What's the point of formal linguistics, a branch of cognitive science, if it's neither informed by formal language theory nor cognitive science?

>>11184805
Never. Your nature is both your punishment and your reward.

>>11184812
did you maek the simulation to see how long it would take us to realize where we are and ask for digital catgirls?

>>11184837
No. I volunteered to become the entire simulation like Solipsist Natiion in Permutation City so the aliens complied because I was the closest thing to a consenting party. You are all just versions of me that have been altered until they have the properties of you instead.
