→Witten, the History Major: Witten also has a Craaford Prize
I understand your point, but hear me out: Witten received his Ph.D. in '''physics''' under the advisorship of David Gross, a Nobel-Prize winning physicist. Witten has served as a professor of '''physics''' at Princeton (1980-87), and is now at the Institute for Advanced Studies as a Charles Simonyi professor of '''physics'''. He has more awards and honors in science than I care to mention, but a few that are relevant: Fellow, American Physical Society 1984, Einstein Medal, Einstein Society of Berne, Switzerland, 1985, Dirac Medal, International Center for Theoretical Physics, 1985. You may not like his work, but you can't argue with the fact that the man is a physicist.--[[User:Lemonpeel|Lemonpeel]] 18:04, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

: Witten also has a Craaford Prize [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crafoord_Prize] which is like a Nobel prize given in science-related fields to people who are not eligible to win regular Nobel prizes. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 18:15, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
