I'd bestow both honours upon her, if you get my meaning.
My meaning being that I can't because I'm not part of the system. And she's probably not in the running.
This year, at least.
Cameron Thompson
If String Theory pans out to be true, then I 100% agree that he will receive the Nobel. Even if that's 200 years from now.
Jack Morales
yeah he is by far the most important string theorist
who would be the other 2 [physicists though?
Blake Lopez
Why can't a mathematician make groundbreaking progress in physics? String theory and higher category theory are intimately linked, and a breakthrough in either could earn a Fields medal and Nobel prize.
Jeremiah Powell
isn't string theory already proven through mathematical consistency?
Christian Brown

Dude I'm a math guy and even I know what you just said is retarded

Nobel prizes are given out for experimental research not theoretical. So for Witten to get a nobel, someone would have experimentally verify one of the billion things he has published papers on. I imagine it would be on some of his condensed matter work before on String Theory.
John Gonzalez
I see. Well, a mathematician could still produce physics research which is later falsified, no?
