      The history of Science and results from Mathematical Logic strongly points to the fact that no theory of reality will be ever "complete"; a "theory of everything" is an unattainable dream and the ultimate prize of reductionism, but that dream is bound to fail and that is really very fortunate because reality will always bring new surprises to uncover/discover and the dogmatism and complacency pervading modern scientific thinking and theoretical physics in particular will be replaced by a more objective philosophical approach to reality. String theory is a very successful Mathematical theory but it is a failure as a Physics theory of reality.

      walter bishop High intuition requiresexpertise. Of course, he has to learn the material, but he also has to have high fluency and control over variables in the course of experimental thought.. Wittens brain is likely efficient in the 'pre-analytical' process of creating, analyzing and breaking down experimental (empirical) models. Fluency in higher cognition, can to much extent be developed, but the structure of the brain determine the natural capacity(s) for intuition in different domains (some argue the density and type of glial cells, and overall connectivity of the brain). These capacities are also not the same as IQ, which is involved in analyzing/evaluating models 'after' we have constructed them.

      You can study any undergraduate degree and apply for a graduate program in almost any different field. If the advisor likes you and thinks you have potential, they'll take you under their wing.

    I really think language and articulation must be such a limitation for someone like Witten because they are not sophisticated or big enough to express his vision and thoughts.
