• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Greatest living physicist?

Anyone can "understand" Bell's theorem, if they're prepared to put in half an hour of thought. I put a simple version in the "entanglement" thread on this forum.

Tez,

Can you link to that thread please?

That's a tough one with today's high energy experiments having sometimes hundreds of colaborators.

Hmmm...well that's true. But then there's plenty of good experiments in condensed matter and atomic physics (with much smaller groups). Though I guess they don't tend to get reported in the media so much since they tend to focus mostly on particle physics/astronomy.

But still, I've noticed that in discussions like this, like of the greatest physicists past and present, people tend to suggest theorists first. I just wonder why that is. Physics is an empirical science, after all...
 
I'd say Witten, tho Kip Thorne is up there
(where would R.Feynman fit in here if he was still alive, I wonder?)
