A contrarian argues that modern physicists' obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science
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. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. 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. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth.

##2019-05-27 想读 有评论说她在车轱辘话来回说，但采访了这么多当代一流物理学家，结果大家都说一类的话，也说明问题吧。
评分##对理论物理学家的田野调查。和Nima Arkani-Hamed, Steven Weinberg，Joe Polchinski, 文小刚等人的访谈很值得一读。
