> The original paper proposing AdS/CFT correspondence in 1997 (just 23 years ago) has 20,000 citation
> Leonard Susskind said that this guy is the greatest living theoretical physicist

But it seems that even physics major guys, as well as normies, don't know about him. 20,000 citation is very high number even for normie fields and this work isn't relatively old.

Isn't this the argentinian cosmologist? Working on non string wuantum gravity is kind of a dead end, even if you're extremely smart.

It's string theory, so it's one giant circlejerk. What has been achieved in the field so far?
People jumped on it because it explained one type of interaction, but people also ignore it fails to describe a whole lot more of interactions.
He started a movement so to speak, so that's why people started citing him. But noone's managed to make any progress with ads/cft, which is why everyone still cites him. How many people still cite Maxwell's papers?

because ads/cft is not part of the generic physics curiculum, only cft is. and the current curiculum is already heavy as it is

also adscft is cringe

He looks like a fag and doesn't appear to be "sold well" by the media. Try changing him to be a black nigga or disability man like Hawking and everyone will talk about him over night.

name a single thing he came up with that has been experimentally confirmed
Hint: There is none and keep wondering why the public doesn't know him

That

You get fame and recognition when you come up with something that actually has some kind of application or at the very least is found out to be true. Or put it another way, when it stops being theoretical.

I think he already is appreciated by his peers and deeply respected as well. Why is mainstream "fame" important? Let those retarded memesters like Michi Kaka, DeGrassa Tayson, Lee Smellin, Dean Caroline get the attention and let this guy keep doing what he does best.
