Talk:Peter Woit

whoa, there, pacman. twice you've said brian greene and peter woit are enemies. as far as i can tell them seem to respect each other, or at least from woit seems to respect greene:

``Brian Greene, one of the most prominent advocates of string theory, is in your department. How has your high profile as an anti-string theorist affected your relationship? W: We get along fine. He's a very reasonable guy. We disagree about string theory to some extent, but unlike a lot of other string theorists, Brian is certainly someone who is willing to publicly admit that string theory is something that may very well be wrong.

you might want to consider not using such a strong (and speculative) word, as fun as it might be. Umlund 06:09, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

unless this entry has something more to say than the existing wikipedia entry, i suggest simply replacing it with a wp-only. Umlund 06:12, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Beh, it was just more fun to call them enemies. I guess the era of accuracy has dawned to crush the spirit of WikiCU.

It still makes sense, though, to have some brief description of Woit and his relationship to Greene (i.e. leave in those things which are linkable to WikiCU). Pacman 12:11, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
