Sabine Hossenfelder LOOK FOR INCONSISTENCY! ​(#198)

Sabine Hossenfelder has a PhD in physics and is presently a
Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies
(FIAS). Sabine works on physics beyond the standard model,
phenomenological quantum gravity, and modifications of general
relativity. Hossenfelder has also been researching since at least
2008 on how technology is changing researchers' ability to
publicize, discuss, or publish their research, when she
co-organized the Science in the 21st Century workshop. She has
written more than 70 research articles, mostly dedicated to quantum
gravity and physics beyond the standard model. In her channel
"Science without the gobbledygook," Sabine talks straight about
science: No hype, no spin, no tip-toeing around inconvenient
truths. New video each Saturday. Hossenfelder's first book, Lost in
Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, released in June 2018. A
review in Nature described it as "provocative", and Frank Wilczek
recommended it as an "intensely personal and intellectually
hard-edged" book. https://www.youtube.com/c/SabineHossenfelder

physicists? 00:02:22 Is there more "hype" in physics than in other
sciences? 00:04:23 What do you think of the optimism aimed at
future experiments such as LISA? 00:07:42 How did you arrive at the
conclusions you did on your most recent paper without knowing
initial conditions? 00:11:30 What if James Cleark Maxwell could
tweet? Would he have been discredited? 00:13:42 Why is there so
much attention on UFOs ? Is it just bayesian inference? 00:16:00
What visual evidence counts as data? Especially where UFOs are
concerned? 00:17:30 Can you reiterate your thoughts on the
mulitiverse theory and its' relationship to dogma? 00:24:15 What do
you think of string theories claims to explain so much with so
little evidence, leaving it to others to measure initial and
boundary conditions? 00:29:20 You're a critic of big experiments.
Where do you think physics is going/should go? 00:35:40 How did you
become a youtube science star? 59:50:00 What do you think of the
doctrine of "fine-tuning" of the Universe? Watch my most popular
