Was Michio ever a respectable figure?

He's only one rung above black science man. And I do mean only ONE rung.

Don't think so. Only reason his name is still being thrown around is because a ton of normies think he's some kind of genius that will revolutionize the scientific world. Blame TV.

Have you found any reasons why he should be disrespected?

He discovered the equations for string field theory.

Put down the calculator and show me some strings. He can't. That's why he'll fade into history.

He claims people against string theory are just jealous because string theory is successful and it's getting more funded than other fields

shouldn't it have some use for explaining and predicting natural phenomena or something?

Forget about the experimental issues, can string theory, at least as a hypothesis, predict something interesting in particle physics?
Like, whats the main prediction. I get it might never be verified, however that cant be blamed on the theory

Did he have a legitimate career in any fields beforehand?

So he is a renowned physicist, no? Has he introduced any revolutionary concepts, anything groundbreaking?

no, nothing big if you don't respect string theory, but he had a lot of potential when he was younger. he's just a sellout now and it's really disappointing.

That's very 20th century thinking. We've moved past that.

Making numerous documentaries on string theory. those were highly popular among dork schoolers and undergrads. Luckily that fad is now almost nonexistent.

like any other human, if you haven't found anything to be disrespected from, no, he is not disrespectable.

sensationalizing outside of your field, like he's been doing with quantum computing, is bad stuff.

He is a science divulger, his job is to inform people about the potential of science and technology, and if he is being guided by those who do the research on what he is talking about, I don't see anything wrong with that.
If he is lying, that's different, but it's not his problem if people don't understand his clear words. I always have, the man expresses himself quite eloquently.

He called it on crypto and AI plateau. And he's a decent enough physicist, having co-founded string theory (for what it's worth) and written some textbooks.

Anyone who can make a good living telling people things that can never be proved or falsified has my respect.. Theoretical physics is the biggest fake career in the known universe.

The theory does explain somethings, like quantum gravity and the lack of tachyons, which is what made it a theory in the first place instead of random hobo schizobabble.
