Claude Shannon was a proper genius, as was Von Neumann.

Kolmogorov was a proper genius, as was Chebyshev and Markov.

I'd say Harald Cramér was also properly a genius, and Kalman definitely could fit well in that category.

There are quite a few that have made just absolutely monumental contribution to their fields with properly revolutionary ideas.

If a team with actual funding gave it a go I think they use it to make predictions. To Gary's credit he was one of the only people I know of who predicted the massive galaxies seen by James Webb in the early universe. He says the prediction came out of his simulation. It's a fractal or something and he thinks we'll find older and older galaxies forever, but possible it was just a lucky guess. I don't know.

a) He is the only philosopher I've read who is able to express his ideas clearly, without resorting to jargon and mysticism; and
b) As an undergrad he abandoned his study of statistics because he intuitively concluded that the field relied too heavily on the presumption of the applicability of normal distribution (see, https://towardsdatascience.com/your-data-isnt-normal-54fe98b1f322).

Nozick's attempts to justify the existence of the state are seriously problematic. I don't blame you for not realising that though, as his prose is turgid and his reasoning employs frequent small but CRUCIAL leaps of logic.

For cogent and substantive criticisms of Nozick which may interest you, I would recommend Ch. 10 of Michael Huemer's 'The Problem of Political Authority' and Rothbard's paper 'Nozick and the Immaculate Conception of the State'.

Optical phase conjugation is the reason why the military wants to stick lasers on everything. (((Allegedly))) his research was exfiltrated to the US, and the applied science portion was given to Robert Hellwarth at USC to come up with applications.
>Laser self-focusing
>Photon time reversal in a non-linear medium
Hellwarth took it way further. Not just SBS, but multiwave mixing schemes (2/3/4 wave).
I'm surprised you know about BH Superradiance, that's not what's he's known for. "Principals of Phase Conjugation" is his seminal work as far as the DoD is concerned. Take his methane cell and substitute a BEC or Fermionic condensate, and you'll be on the right track. Then add the work from Lene Hau at Harvard and Wolfgang Ketterle at MIT, and Bob's your uncle.

No, he specifically states in his Nature followup that is is not a "phase versus group velocity" anomaly, and that is should be investigated further. When "rephrasing" is mentioned, it appears he is that the group velocity may be time reversed. The plasmonic excitation in the experiment travels 300x faster than actual photons in the same vacuum traversal distance.

That's the odd thing, it hasn't. Everyone shit on Wanf experimentally with "muh phase versus group velocity", but no one actually replicated the experiment. This is odd because at the same time the EXACT same experiment was going on at different universities using the not only the same electomagnetically induced transparency setup, but THE SAME ALKALI GAS. Ketterle won his Noble using the same setup shortly before Wang was published in Nature. Rice verified a BEC formation in Lithium, MIT/NEC Princeton in cesium, etc. etc. If anyone knows anything about this, the PATENTABLE applications are huge. Like billions of dollars in licensing. But almost zero parents. Why is that? Ketterle's Nobel work generated exactly one patent, and that was on the EIT trap and owned jointly by MIT and Harvard. Most importantly, all the above's research was funded by the Office of Naval Research directly. Why is that?
