Interesting analysis from my favorite severe no nonsense physics youtuber gal (who also used to randomly post vids of her doing cover songs to peoples' general confusion lol).
Good bit at the end speculating on the material economic basis for this (useless) way of doing science. People make careers on this fluff that amounts to nothing.
Hexbear go 30 days without anprim threads over physics research challenge (impossible!)
actual research is just like elon musk bazingabrains or something
Bazinga brains tend to despise theoretical sciences (and maths) because they seem like a waste of time that doesn't immediately produce tech treats, unlike the TE parts of STEM. :my-hero: himself has tweeted as such (one time about nanotechnology, astonishingly!) and his flock bleated along.
That said, research is cool and good, but money sinks to chase new particles to name aren't always the best use of limited research funding.
She's also a currently working physicist and once worked in particle physicis. This is more of an appeal to spend money better, not stop spending it at all and regressing.
i think the point she's making is that these highly speculative particle inventings are not comparable to the higgs boson or whatever that were theorized as necessary rather than "well it could".
that said, anprims should have better things to go after than physics research just like [shitty sectarian group] should go yell at chuds instead of comrades.
Any critique of science is a call for anarchoprimitivism.
