Number one in this list of theoretical physics top cited scientists is the mathematician Edward Witten. One should be carefull interpreting this list since P. A. M. Dirac or R. P. Feynman are behind the top cited scientists. Some work becomes classic and is not cited or is not cited directly.
As
far as the Laws of Mathematics refer to Reality, they are not
certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to
Reality
Albert
Einstein (1879-1955)
Part of the work cited in today theoretical physics is more mathematical theory (and as such also important) but probably will remain mathematical theory except if experiments will some day confirm that it can describe also some aspects of the physical world. The list represents more who influences the work of physicist in our times. Number 33 Dimopoulos climbed in this list rapidly as together with others he proposed the possibility of existence of extra dimensions that triggered in a short time a lot of work on this topic. Current experiments do not confirm this hypothesis but probably we will know more from future LHC experiments. Until then we will see the citation index of D. Savopoulos to rise. I think also it is interesting to see also the average number of citations per article that I think is also important.
