> Sabine is, uh, somewhat controversial.
At the same time people never really seem to be able to give a reasonable explanation as to why, beyond that they disagree with some of her takes.
- saagarjha 3y agoWhy she’s controversial? That’s easy, it’s because she repeatedly pushes theories that are not widely accepted and disagrees vocally with the direction that she thinks physics is going in. This means that almost every discussion of her devolves into “wow she is a genius who is speaking truth to an entrenched and rigid field” versus “she’s a crank that just says unsubstantiated stuff for popularity”. This means that any comment section that involves her is somewhat tiresome, honestly.
- oefrha 3y agoDepending on what counts as “reasonable” (the bar seems rather high for you, as I’ve seen plenty of laymen-friendly explanations reasonable to me, e.g. the sibling comment), you may need to have at least been to a PhD program in high energy physics to understand the explanation. From someone who happens to have been to one.
