In other words: If you believe in String Theory and more than three dimensions, you are part of the problem.

Thanks so much to Bill Wesley for this heads up on the exasperation shown by Sabine, who shows her disgust with regressive physics in a recent video:

According to Bill:

 

“She is calling out the elephant in the room making it more likely your work and the work of others such as my father and Eric Lerner will eventually be heard. It takes a lot of courage to do what she is doing, it’s exciting to see someone openly say what she is saying.”

 

[GB: Of course, like other reformists, she is criticizing only two especially egregious fabrications, which she knows extremely well. Like she says, the perpetrators have been repeating the same papers over and over with no evidentiary results. In addition to her YouTube videos, she has written some popular books, including this one on the mathemization of physics:

 

Hossenfelder, Sabine, 2018, Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, Basic Books, 304 p.

 

And this one on the big questions:

 

Hossenfelder, Sabine, 2022, Existential physics: A scientist's guide to life's biggest questions, Penguin, 272 p.

 

She mentions physicist Lee Smolin who wrote these in a similar vein:

 

Smolin, Lee, 2007, The Trouble with Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next, Mariner Books; Reprint edition, 420 p.

 

Smolin, Lee, 2013, Time reborn: From the crisis in physics to the future of the universe, HMH

 

Going back a bit further, here is Eric Lerner’s revelation from 32 years ago:

 

Lerner, E.J., 1992, The Big Bang Never Happened: New York, Vintage Books, 440 p.

 

My prediction of 2050 for the demise of relativity and the Big Bang Theory still stands…]
