Thanks to Sabine Hossenfelder I now understand that theoretical physics is a worthless field for pseudointellectual frauds and that physics students should be spat on

You’re absolutely right. It went to shit around the 80s. But experiment isn’t any better. I’d say it’s even worse because 95% of experimentalists would freely admit they don’t even do physics proper.

The problem with theoretical physicists atm is that they have nothing else to do but twiddle their thumbs. They have always relied on experimentalists to find new, unexplained phenomena they have to explain but there hasn't been anything new discovered in decades. So they get bored and come up with nonsense theories that are based on no empirical evidence.

This
+ Our economy is technology centric and science is increasingly governed by industry needs. The only physics thatll get funding is for shit like semiconductors, fusion or quantum computing. Happy little accidents that reveal ground breaking truths about the way the universe works dont happen as much anymore; we already define the expected outcomed of our experiments and we know what we are looking for exactly.
Add the fact that as a scientist, you are not getting in a top institute based on your actual intellect and love for research, you get in because youre some asian american adjacent demographic whose parents have pushed to tick boxes on their resume from a very young age. Youre not at harvard because the only place to do great science is harvard, you are at harvard because itll be good for your career. Then, you are not getting published if your research doesnt provide positive results because tens of thousands of people are engaged in a PhD, which used to be a degree reserved to the intellectual elite.

This is simply false.

It is absolutely true.

Not only this but this is also slowly killing pure math departments.

What's new about that? It's expected from QCD. It's not understood only because of the immense difficulty of the calculations.

Pure math is not in the same place as physics however. There's a lot of potential still. 2% of people are still doing good work.

so much this. If she had principles she would've never tried to get in on it in the first place.

She says she didn’t know anyone in the academia before going to university. I was in the same position as a first-gen student. You are skeptical until you see it for yourself.

She has over a million subscribers on her youtube channel. Now she makes more money than a professor and she doesn't even have to pretend to come up with original research.

she doesn't care, she's already married with children. mid-enough is good enough and her genetics continue.
