|content=So @orzelc asks me to unpack the No-Nobel/[[Ed Witten|Witten]] tweet. It presupposes at least minor direct contact w/ [[Ed Witten|Ed]] so you don't doubt [[Ed Witten|Ed's]] gift. | |||

|content=My friend @orzelc asks: "do you consider Wheeler to be in [[Ed Witten|Witten's]] class?" Short answer is no. But I never went 1-1 with a young Wheeler. | |||
