I'm in hep-theory and every single fucking relevant person is 6 sigma. They score 190+ on standardized test (if they even decide to lose their time on that). Look at fucking Witten. Strominger. Polchinski. Cumrun motherfucking Vafa. Even lower-tier stringists are fucking geniuses by the mensa standard. It's not the same for every field. You can be a star in climatology with 120 IQ for example. But how relevant is it really? Climate scientists are worse than CS in terms of jokes on their accounts.
The sad thing is we (string theory) need more people of the Witten calibre to advance further. I was measured at 4 sigma, string theory has been my life since 17 and i fucking don't matter. I did publish several papers that are cited by the geniuses, but that doesn't matter a bit. You realize that when you meet and talk to them. I mean they're nice and motivating, but at the end of the day, you just feel so fucking crushed by their intellect. The paper that took me a year, they would come up with that in few weeks. That's the difference between a low-key 3 sigma like me and them. No amount of work is going to change that, that's just how things are.
Tao is fucking blind if he can't see that or things are just different in math, which i doubt. Just look at Witten, he majored in history and still manages to be the best fucking theorist in century. That's the difference between us and them. We have to give everything to be average at best. I'm sad whenever i remember my friends that envy me, a fucking low-key theorist.

I don't know, I used to think like this but then I spoke to a lot of well-regarded theorists and found out they were really quite normal.
Also, some of the guys I thought were extremely smart also ended up underachieving. It's not that they didn't come up with great ideas, it's just that those ideas didn't work out. They sounded great, but then a few years later people figured out it just didn't work.

You're terrible at communicating. This was evident in your OP, but you're furthering the point with every post you make.

It doesn't matter how "high level" a topic is, someone who understands it well can boil down the most important concepts therein at a conversational level, so a layman can understand.

Yesterday, there was a thread about really high level maths here (it might still be up) an Anon, in less than three short paragraphs, communicated what you should take away and how you should approach this form of mathematics.

You're poor in communicating, and most likely poor in understanding as well.

>what's the utility of your work
Quantum field theory underlies statistical mechanics, condensed matter, and particle physics (the last one is getting less and less important). It is useful to study quantum field theory in an abstract way, certainly more useful than it is to study abstract branches of mathematics, although mathematicians never run into this criticism of usefulness the same way high energy theorists do.

I can gather from your posts that you do not know enough about physics to really appreciate the problems of the field today. Actually take a look at the papers on arxiv, do you understand the abstracts? If it took me years to understand these things why do you think it should be easy for you to understand? There were smart people who understood this before I came around, and if it were so easy to explain things, it would have been a hell of a lot easier to learn.

mathematicians don't have the ego to assert their mental masturbation is reflective of reality. on the contrary, they readily admit their work isn't reflective of reality and is more a fun way to tinker with abstract systems. case in point:
> It is useful to study quantum field theory in an abstract way, certainly more useful than it is to study abstract branches of mathematics
got any evidence to back that up? what experiments have string theory predicted? what experiments does string theory explain?
>There were smart people who understood this before I came around, and if it were so easy to explain things, it would have been a hell of a lot easier to learn.
yet this seems to be something that uniquely plagues string theorists. why? ask any experimentalist at the LHC, or even a pheno guy, and they could explain their work on jet substructure in a way that even a high schooler could understand (and not falling back on pithy platitudes). yet, string theorists can't. you wanna know why? because they want to have their cake and eat it too. they claim it's too abstract to explain succinctly while simultaneously pretending it's reflective of reality. all the while, they're too dimwitted to understand the obvious implication: that they can't even communicate the structure of reality (which they pretend to know) to anyone outside of their narrow, narrow niche of expertise. absolutely pathetic.

I don't refer to myself as a string theorist. I say I'm a quantum field theorist or a high energy theorist. Again I'm not OP. I understand string theory and cite string theory papers when relevant. I do the same for statistical field theory, and condensed matter. When I apply for postdoc jobs I usually have to look at string theory jobs because that is what people understand "abstract quantum field theory" to be.

When you treat quantum field theory abstractly, considering different theories for their own interesting behavior, without necessarily being concerned about the experimental implications (although they do have some), then all of these fields are related. If mathematicians are allowed to consider things abstractly, and only occasionally find real world applications, why isn't that okay for a high energy theorist?

Tao is a freak and not really a genius, and i can explain why. In his own biography, it's revealed that he struggles with mirror composition tests. he can't fucking imagine what the outline of a shape will be if mirrored across a phantom line.

Terence Tao doesn't use visual intelligence to do his work. he's some kind of weirdo who uses purely analytical methods, like turning the shit into a fucking crossword puzzle and back and then getting an answer instead of counting it or visualizing it. it's such a stupid way to think. why?

once your visual intelligence gets to a certain level, you just see the answer to everything you need in a split second. it merely takes you longer than that to explain it to everyone, and they psychologically abuse you and tell you that you're overthinking it, even though you saw it. it would be so natural, so innate, that you'd wonder how people drive a car or catch a ball without doing it. that's sort of the secret of course. at that point, you never have to analyze anything ever again.

Okay fine I'll bite. A CFT means conformal field theory. At any second order phase transition in real materials what happens is the correlation length grows so that the particular behavior of the material at small scales doesn't really matter and what you are left with is an abstract CFT. You can predict or explain real world observed things like correlation functions and critical exponents from operators in the CFT. These CFTs especially in one spatial dimension have a very rich structure the study of which was spearheaded mostly be string theorists beginning in the 80s. That is because a string theory can also be understood as CFT where the one spatial dimension is just the dimension along the string. I could go on but I won't. There are lots of rich experimental applications of these models (usually more than one per model, and not just CFTs) and lots of behavior that it is interesting for its own sake.

Correlation functions and critical exponents. Every second order phase transition is described by a CFT. So pick out your favorite one. Theories which are not CFTs like non-linear sigma models also pop up all over the place too.

Ising model. Heard of it? It's the paradigm example of magnetism and of phase transitions which every physicist graduating with an undergrad degree has heard of. The phase transition is CFT with central charge 1/2 and it has a dual description as a theory of free Majorana fermions. If you perturb the Ising model by an external magnetic field the Majorana fermions start interacting in a non-trivial way and the model has a hidden global symmetry given by the exceptional Lie group E8. This is manifested in the correlation functions in experiment and was figured out in the early 90s by high energy theorists.

Look up the tri-critical Ising model too if you're interested. It turns out that CFT is supersymmetric and yet it is realized in the real world.

I'm afraid I'm done answering questions for now though. You got your wish and I made an effort to communicate to you a little bit.

You need to distinguish the supersymmetric extensions of the standard model as a theory of particle physics in 4d from supersymmetry as a feature of physical systems per se. The theories I am talking about are condensed matter systems in either 1 or 2 spatial dimensions, and the supersymmetry shows up as a symmetry of their correlation functions.

That's only true sometimes. In my experience, half of the experimentalists forget all of the theory that is not directly related to their research. When it comes to the theory that's related to their research, they seem to understand the phenomenology a lot better than the theoretical framework. There are different experimentalists, of course, just like there are different theorists.

Reminder that physics is just for people who aren't smart enough to deal with the complexity of emergent phenomena so they prefer the simpler foundational laws.
Try getting a particle physicist to explain what happens to even a few atoms interacting via quantum physics (ie deriving from scratch without using chemistry models). He can even use the most powerful super computer if he wants.
It's like a neuroscientist saying they understand the genius of Mozart or Shakespeare because they got axons and dendrites figured out.

tl;dr midwits are attracted to theoretical physics because it's simpler

Theoretical physics is the lowest IQ field bar pure mathematics. It's for midwit cringelets who literally fail the IQ test of figuring out the patterns of actual reality, so they retreat into a childish fantasy world of NPC-tier models and abstractions.
