This video just became my first video on YouTube to get 100k views. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting. Cheers!!

The crazy thing is that with all this, you havent even touched on what he has been doing for the last 4-5 years. He hasnt retired, he is just absolutely ripping through foundational problems in quantum gravity, specifically in desitter space. The man is unstoppable.

[IvicaAnteski]

What I concluded from this video is that Witten should fly more often :)

[ashishkiift]

Loved the video Hassaan. This is by far the best structured video on Ed Witten and his achievements. Thanks for creating this. You are truly talented and a wonderful story teller 👍

Hello, I found you in my recommendations and just want to thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. Even though they’re not ‘popular’, per se, your videos have helped me a lot in the realm of physics and mathematics, and should definitely gain a wider audience.

[florianhofmann]

Although I cannot understand anything about his work, it was very well presented and sounded particularly good on my speakers. 👍

[cesarjom]

Great theoretical physics content. Really happy I just discovered your channel!

Edward Witten is one of Brandeis University's gems. He was actually a History major before going on to be the best in Mathematics and Physics. Our Professors at Brandeis talked about him with a huge amount of reverence. They were close to the Fields Medal, but he won it. Why would he retire? He's still doing amazing work. We're lucky to have him among us. Wish I had been able to study from him, maybe Relativity.

I have love for physics but this content was definitely went above my head but boy I was kept hooked through out the video. Besides all, you are good content creator and good explainer as well.. keep shining

[jameslyons]

Having a fascination of Witten’s work I am very grateful for your work on this creation!!!

[vtrandal]

Excellent synopsis of the work of Edward Witten. Thank you.

[mohitdhanik]

Such a beautiful video❤.. Keep uploading more

[jamesraymond]

I still don't know what he did. Dirac, Feynman, Bardeen etc. had easily understandable discoveries, but it is hard to point to any such discoveries by Whitten.

[yellowlght]

It's an excellent synopsis on his works and accomplishments

[santoshr]

Wow .. great video. Thanks for those juicy details and papers. Better to have the important ones in a single video. Enjoyed the Ashok Sen video as well. I am coming back for more :0) .. cheers

[gerardopc]

A remarkable man, indeed. His work on string theory is either wrong, or true but so advanced for us humans to prove with our current technology.

[topdog]

10:22When you don’t understand a proof, but you’re so smart you just proceed to go try prove it your own way. Wow!

[terrabusinessLLC]

Very elaborate and interesting video... Thank you for creating and sharing. 👍🙏

[gurnblanston]

But do magnetars exist? Will gravitars exist, great early 2000s Detroit noise band, btw.

In the thumbnail, it looks like he just found them, like "oh... here they are"
