🧵 Scientific American: Edward Witten’s Fascination with Hitler Allegedly Goes Back 60 Years

this is seriously /yourguy/?
> Since being awarded the Fields Medal, Witten has dominated headlines for a nonstop stream of reprehensible behavior. What started out as a controversy over the string theorist’s Auschwitz concentration camp T-shirts descended into a torrent of remarks about "anomalous U(1) symmetries of the Jewish nose" and "improper topological twist of the Ashkenazi side curl" before he appeared on Numberphile in mid January to praise Nazis and Hitler. “I see good things about Hitler,” Witten said during the bizarre three-hour interview where he falsely claimed Hitler had invented strings and quantum gravity.
> Witten’s remarks mirrored earlier claims anonymous academics had told Quanta Magazine this fall — that the physicist had lauded Hitler and made several antisemitic comments within the past decade, paying at least two settlements to former colleagues who allege he made such remarks [...]
> But as nearly half a dozen collaborators of Witten's admit, his alleged obsession with Hitler and Nazis dates back further than previously reported. [...] [Witten] has been discussing his admiration for Hitler and what he sees as positive achievements of Nazi Germany for nearly six decades.
> During Witten's brief time as an economics student, he was known to be a "strange fellow," says our source, a former University of Michigan classmate. It was in those early days the then-18-year-old frequently discussed Jewish mind control and quizzed others on their thoughts [...]. “It was a daily thing."
> The topic wasn’t couched in general conversation [...]. Instead, Witten allegedly would approach students and professors and ambush them with questions — seemingly trying to catch people off-guard. “Going up to somebody like, ‘So what do you think about the Holocaust?’ [...]

Just read this article. Holy shit.
> “[Witten’s] pattern of speaking on this in the workplace was reasonably consistent,” a longtime former collaborator claims. “If he felt you were trustworthy … there was a reasonably high likelihood that he would attempt to engage with you and evangelize his beliefs about the parallels between Hitler and Nazi concentration camps with supersymmetry to you.”

Scientific American is a joke, all they've done for years is publish woke hitpieces.

>Witten attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison for one semester as an economics graduate student before dropping out.[2] He spent time volunteering as a paralegal for a civil rights attorney, helping him win cases defending the rights of David Duke and other prominent white nationalists in their marches expressing support for the white minority apartheid government of South Africa. He returned to academia feeling a career in law was not sufficiently intellectually challenging, noting "The entire god damned jewdicial system [sic] is controlled by Zionist kikes"[2a], enrolling in applied mathematics at Princeton University in 1973, then shifting departments and receiving a Ph.D. in physics in 1976 under David Gross,[3] the 2004 Nobel laureate in Physics. He held a fellowship at Harvard University (1976–77), visited Oxford University (1977–78),[3][8] was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows (1977–1980), and held a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (1982). Witten was a known patron of and donator to the National Alliance[9], a white nationalist and white supremacist organization headed by fellow physicist William Luther Pierce[9a], that advocated for global apocalyptic race war and "total aryan victory."[10][11][12] Witten has gone on record claiming he has access to "the ASHKENAZAIC accords" [sic] which he uses to "aid his physics research and predict the future"[13].

>Witten has been married to Chiara Nappi since 2018. [28] They have two daughters, Ilana, an adult actress, [29] and Daniela, who is also an adult actress, [30]. Witten sits on the board of directors of Americans for Peace Now With Hezbollah and is also on the advisory council of the American-North Korean Friendship Coalition. [31] Witten supports a one-state solution (Palestine only) and advocates a boycott of Israeli institutions and economic activity beyond its 1920 borders.[32] Witten is a well known supporter of eugenics and Donald Trump.[33][34][35][36]

>Witten routinely writes Polemics against what he terms "the Jewish question" in his spare time.[12]. In 2001, two months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Witten addressed an audience of known anti-Semites in a conference in Tehran, Iran, arguing "We are trying to break with the theological formulation of the question. For us, the question of the Jew’s capacity for emancipation becomes the question: What particular social element has to be overcome in order to abolish Judaism? For the present-day Jew’s capacity for emancipation is the relation of Judaism to the emancipation of the modern world. This relation necessarily results from the special position of Judaism in the contemporary enslaved world. Let us consider the actual, worldly Jew – not the Sabbath Jew, as Bauer does, but the everyday Jew. Let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew. What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.", to a thunderous applause.[13][14][15]

Can you blame him? I mean, after all, he was told that the Nazis somehow trucked in, gassed, and cremated 660 people a day for 1,700 days at Auschwitz. Clearly the Nazis had some hyper advanced understanding of quantum mechanics to pull off those numbers.

Antisemites forever coping that they have lower IQs. How does it feel to know you'll be my slave in the new Earth? Shalom goys.

Yeah and Timothy Gowers came out in defense of the woke "2+2=5" idiots so sounds like both sides' crazies are equally represented.
