Why Is Louis Witten Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Louis Witten is an American theoretical physicist and the father of the physicist Edward Witten. Witten's research has centered on classical gravitation, including the discovery of certain exact electrovacuum solutions to the Einstein field equation. He edited a book which contains papers by contributors such as ADM , Choquet-Bruhat, Ehlers and Kundt, Goldberg, and Pirani which are used by researchers after the passage of more than 40 years. His most recent paper was published in 2020.
