This gatekeeping won't stand!

[Philosophy Of Physics @PhilosophyOfPhy]

Lev Landau did not just teach theoretical physics. He built a gate.

His famous Theoretical Minimum was an exam system so brutal that between 1934 and 1961 only 43 people passed. The name sounds gentle, but the idea was severe, before entering Landau’s school, you had to know mechanics, quantum theory, statistical physics, electrodynamics, relativity, and mathematics at a level most students would call impossible.

@ququ7 Oh come now, can we not get dramatic? The quote is almost an obvious observation, and if read properly it is not dismissive of category theory.
