BTW, he invented string field theory, as he never, ever fails to claim. He is a shameless self-promoter, name-dropper.

That isn't how science works.

He is also cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Hey Michio, how is that string theory working out for you?

Oopsie! There comes a time in some physicists' lives when all they've attempted has come to naught. String field theory has gone nowhere, at least no verifiable predictions. What does one do then? Easy! Self promotion. Arrogance!
