It sounds like this is an extraordinary man. And as Ted Nelson indicated, he graduated from Princeton as a salutatorian in only 3 years.
- claudius 13y agoCertainly an extraordinary man, yes. But contrary to e.g. Einstein’s annus mirabilis, inter-universal geometry is not a few fancy new ideas in existing fields, which would generally allow to have many such ideas in a short time (albeit unlikely), but a completely new, and apparently enormous, field. It’s also not really related to cryptography in any particular way (as far as I can see), so there’s no synthesis between the development of the one and the other.
