→Witten, the History Major
::::::Well, in all fairness, it's good to know that the person has some connection with how theories are verified in practice. But as I pointed out above, experimental experience is a requirement of the Princeton physics Ph.D.--[[User:Lemonpeel|Lemonpeel]] 18:51, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

:::::::Rules often have exceptions, and if an exception were possible, then Witten would have likely benefited from it. After all, merely being ''admitted'' into Princeton's PhD physics program after majoring in history in college is a remarkable "exception".
:::::::Witten has written extensively, I think. Has he ever, ever mentioned his doing an actual experiment, even if just once?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:30, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
