He's both so underrated and overrated at the same time. His only superpower is the fact that sees things as is on a lower level. As opposed to retarded abstract concept "box" thinking like murican schools teach you

At least Einstein developed a theory that had predictive power.

Dare I say it but Einstein is unbeatable.
He memed his entire last name into a synonym with genius.

So does String Theory. It took them 100 years to verify the prediction of gravitational waves, it will likely take as long or longer to verify the predictions of string theory.

>> No.8759748

>>8759741
There is no prediction to be made. String theory predicts a "landscape" which literally encompasses every possible permutation of the universe.

If I were a woman, I would get on my knees and beg for Ed's sperm so I could have super smart bastard children. As far as I know, no one has done this.

Physics: QFT (Including Path Integrals and Gauge Theory), GR

Math: Representation Theory (of Lie Groups&Algebras), Riemannian Geometry, Complex Geometry


The math may get harder if you go deeper into the geometric aspects.
