I see what you did there.
Also, Sabine Hossenfelder was trained as a particle physicist and she doesn't like it either. She explains why it's like that and how it's bad and what they should be doing instead (like actively trying to reconcile the contradictory theories of gravity and quantum mechanics). She has changed career to professional youtuber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Hossenfelder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Hossenfelder
- EddieEngineers 3y ago> like actively trying to reconcile the contradictory theories of gravity and quantum mechanics Isn't that exactly what string theory is trying to do?
- ftxbro 3y agoShe's mainly against research that tries to achieve naturalness for its own sake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalness_(physics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalness_(physics) If someone is actually trying to get to the bottom of some contradictions in physics experiments I don't think she would be against this. I think she has observed that string theory has failed at it for so long and maybe some other methods can get a chance for funding instead of spending a hundred billion dollars on string theory and ten thousand dollars on other methods.
