Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. ![]() Worse, these “too good to not be true” theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray by Sabine Hossenfelder Synopsis:Ī contrarian argues that modern physicists’ obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science. An Agnostic Scientist & A Christian Philosopher Agree On Something?!?! ![]()
