how famous is Micheal Dine?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Slightly less famous than it would take for me to have ever heard of him.
 
Well...I've honestly never heard of him, lol. Who is he?
 
Is he your professor or something?
 
I think he is rather known within the string community. I have heard his name a few times, through some of my more "stringy" colleagues and because of a course in supersymmetry.
