具體描述
Sabine Hossenfelder has grown up in Frankfurt, Germany. She has a PhD in physics from the University of Frankfurt. Since 2006 she has written the popular weblog Backreaction. Her writing has been published, among others, in Scientific American, New Scientist, NOVA, Aeon, Nautilus, and Quanta Magazine.
Sabine is presently a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. Her first book "Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray" was published by Basic Books in June 2018.
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.

##對理論物理學傢的田野調查。和Nima Arkani-Hamed, Steven Weinberg，Joe Polchinski, 文小剛等人的訪談很值得一讀。

評分##2019-05-27 想讀 有評論說她在車軲轆話來迴說，但采訪瞭這麼多當代一流物理學傢，結果大傢都說一類的話，也說明問題吧。

評分##跟想的不一樣，以為會有概念上的發展和論證，結果一直是舉例子講故事重復觀點。。
