That's why i was directing my criticism at the Nobel committee. Would they give the prize in physics based only on abstract theory? I know they've given the prize for theory, but there was at least some mathematical proofs demonstrated in that work.

This guy getting a Nobel is kind of ridiculous.

On Edit: She actually pointed out that he eschewed the math and practical applications in favor of abstraction. How convenient is that? "Here's how i think it should work, even though there is not a shred of proof that things would actually work that way."
