More of the excerpt is dedicated to how great this author is, than the science or even the topic.

I know a new Yorker when I read one.

He had already won one for the photoelectric effect.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 was awarded to Albert Einstein “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”

Why Einstein never received a Nobel prize for relativity

I’m surprised Obama was not awarded a Nobel for that.

Warren Buffet, Christof Koch, Freeman Dyson, Ray Kurzweil, Gordon Bell, Eric Schmidt, Steven Pinker and Ted Danson

That list reminded me of the shrinks' convention in Mel Brooks' "High Anxiety", where the hall is dominated by a sequence of portraits of Frued, Jung, Adler, and Joyce Brothers.

Pretty safe bet!
That kind of work almost never gets considered for a Nobel because its all mathematical not experimental physics. Nobel Prizes end to bias toward experimental-oriented fields. (oh yeah? - Explain why the Nobel prizes for Economics! - I can’t!)

String Theory is passe’.

I am being condsidered for my “Straw Theory”.

I postulate that if straws are banned, endangered species will successfully breed in enough numbers to beat back Climate Change for all time.

String theory and multi universe are one in the same. Hoaxes.

The only people who have benefited, financially, from string theory or super-string theory are dentists...
