He had Irish citizenship by naturalisation. He lived on Kincora Road, Clontarf. He won the Nobel prize. He lived with his wife and mistress, and fathered children with two other women.

He has gained traction on Tik Tok of all places recently for spouting unsubstantiated BS that he explains in the most rudimentary way possible so it makes sense on the surface to people not well educated on the topic, however the people watching his videos donβt understand this nor are well educated on the topic, so I guess they feel inclined to believe him. Evidently, him and his viewers havenβt a clue of what heβs talking about. He then gets his now 51k brainwashed followers to sign up to his website then watch a fancy video with big words about his theory. Which his followers then talk about to other people not well versed on the subject which then makes it spread like a virus.
Iβm having trouble trying to break it down simply for people in his comment section, because they just repeat the same equation to me until I stop responding no matter what I say. Iβm posting this I guess impart to ask what should I tell these 14 year old philosophers to change their mind if possible.

This is Robbert Dijkgraaf, Director and Leon Levy Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, one of the world's foremost centers for curiosity-driven basic research, located in Princeton, New Jersey. I'm a mathematical physicist specializing in string theory, and my research focuses on the interface between mathematics and particle physics, as well as the advancement of science education. Ask me anything about fundamental questions in physics like the Big Bang, black holes, or the mathematics of the universe!
In light of recent news, here is an article I wrote last week about the first black hole photograph. You can also view a talk I gave at the 2017 National Math Festival on The End of Space and Time: The Mathematics of Black Holes and the Big Bang.
This AMA is in partnership with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California, as we are the co-organizers of the National Math Festival taking place on May 4th in Washington, DC. I'll start answering questions at 11:30 a.m. Eastern (15:30 UT), and end around 1:00 p.m. AMA!
EDIT 1:00 p.m.: Thank you for all of your great questions! I'm sorry I couldn't get to them all, but you can find me on Twitter @RHDijkgraaf or visit the IAS website to learn more about the many ideas we discussed.
Working at the IAS, I am reminded every day that we live in an incredible age for science and discovery, and we must never forget how essential basic research and original thinking are to innovation and societal progress. The Instituteβs Founding Director Abraham Flexner may have said it best in a 1939 essay, βThe Usefulness of Useless Knowledgeβ, reprinted in a book that I recently coauthored.
IAS, MSRI, and MoMath welcome you to join us at the 2019 National Math Festival on Saturday, May 4, to inspire the next generation to embrace curiosity and experience the thrill of discovery. IAS is presenting two of the mathematical lectures, featuring our own Dr. Avi Wigderson on cryptography, and Dr. Marcus du Sautoy of Oxford, discussing art and algorithms.

The purpose of TIACS is to promote the study of phenomena that strongly challenge prevailing theories of the mind-brain relationship, and as such these topics tend to be ignored in academia. They includes (a) the nature and source of artistic, musical and mathematical genius, (b) autistic, acquired and spontaneous savants, (c) near death experiences (NDE), (d) terminal lucidity (people with advanced Alzheimer's who become remarkably lucid just prior to death), (e) multiple-witness sightings of apparitions of the dead, (f) extreme mental control of physiology, (g) psychic abilities (i.e., telepathy, clairvoyance), and (h) mystical, contemplative, and psychedelic states. These and related phenomena are all well-established, either because they are self-evident (genius, savants), repeatedly demonstrated through modern scientific experiments (psychic abilities, extreme physiological control), or have been meticulously documented for decades or even centuries (NDEs, terminal lucidity, apparitions, mystical and related states of consciousness).

Glatz is obviously a historian of war focusing on WW2 so he probably knows what he's talking about.
But Stephen Kotkin probably knows more about Stalin than any western historian so...
Who is correct?
Just curious but also out of a genuine interest to see if we have studies or clinical tries to keep tabs on.
As an aside of this question, I believe my onset was rapid and due to entirely environmental factors. Both prior and now I've keep in depth bio metrics of myself in a journal day to day and I have a series of events that trails to my first symptoms. If there are active organizations studying Psoriasis I'd love to know them to reach out and offer them the data.
