“Innovation is slowing, research productivity is declining, scientific work is becoming more disruptive. In this video I summarize what we know about the problem and what possible causes have been proposed. I also explain why this matters so much to me.” – Sabine Hossenfelder

    Whether that’s the case sometimes, this isn’t the case here.

    U gonna back this or just trust me bro?

    She doesn’t understand what she is talking about and creating dangerous narratives, she actually doesn’t align with the science, so your argument is factually incorrect.

    U gonna back this or just trust me bro?

    Even if she did, it isn’t as if science has never had a bias or been used to harm before: Hysteria, Draptomania etc etc.

    Are u being a science denier? Sounds like ur crearing a dangerouse narrative here.

    Also, you know nothing about us, so it’s incredible how you can make definitive statements without having any clue about who we are.

    I know exactly as much as u commented, hence why i was engaging with u on what u commented. Thats how a forum works.

      Not all written science is good science. Often the methodology is flawed. It requires very trained eyes to detect potential flaws in a methodology. It’s common that scientists disagree with each other. Science is the process to resolve these disagreements.

      I don’t trust Sabine is able to accurately depict the current state of these topics. Her main expertise is physics. I don’t believe she can determine the quality of the papers she mentioned or make a complete survey of the topic.

      And that’s why many are disappointed in her. She should know it’s not her field of expertise. She’s not in a position to make these kind of videos.
