what's his name

whats ALS?

oh hawking

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

yeah, hawking

well, a bit ambiguous there

its complicated

I have a slight suspicion he may not be real

no he hasnt had any breakthroughs since the 70s black hole stuff

i.e. the real hawking, potentially a genius

died long ago

and what we have now is an imposter or imposters

edward witten is the new einstein/hawking supposedly

but i prefer mathematicians to physicists

so im betting on urs schreiber

that japanese guy

who had that arcane proof

my internet friend matt has met urs in real life

that no one can figure out

what's his name

mochizuki yep

mochizuki's work is based on grothendieck man

do you know if there's any progress on that

thats why grothendieck is my hero

no, i havent kept up with math news

Lubos Motl is an "endogenous personality" but probably not a genius

math moves really slow man

lubos is false dude

fucke him

lubos is why i like mathematicians over physicists

feynman sucks too

einstein is also very overrated

poincare and hilbert got there first

Lubos is a good guy, I read his blog

von neumann was smarter than bohr and schrodinger

its an excerpt from a short book

urs schreiber is like lubos motl if lubos motl was actually good at math

by Bruce Charlton
