There there is a com there are communities of people who do it.
And you know, there there's a reason why the top mathematicians are going doing string related stuff is because, you know, you follow the right notes.
You you feel like it's it is actually giving the kind of
the the right the right mathematics.
Things like you know mirror symmetry, you know, or or or vertex algebras, that's kind of giving the right ideas constantly.
And it's been doing this since the very beginning.
So
Uh uh and and and people do, you know, the the other altern you know, the alternative theories of everything, but it so far it hasn't produced new new math.
Uh uh you can certainly prove us wrong, but I think uh you know, I follow you know, i there's there's a reason why Whitten is the one who gets the Phil's medal.
Um because it's just somehow it's at the right interface of the right ideas in geometry and number theory, representation theory.
algebra that the this idea tends to produce the right you know the the right the right mathematics uh whether whether it is a theory of physics that's still um you know that's the next mystical level um
But you know, it's it's kind of it's it's i i it's it's an intra it's an exciting time,
That's right.
That's right.
But um he certainly is a champion for string theory.
And
um
you know, i the the Morse theory stuff he he was able to get because of his work at supersymmetry, he was able to realize this was supersymmetric index theorem that generated this idea.
And that that's really a cor you know, a supersymmetry really is a cornerstone for string theory, even though there's no experimental evidence for it.
So um I think that's one of the reasons that's guiding him towards this direction.
