|content=Beauty *is* a light in the darkness as experiment becomes less accessible. Perhaps our best one. 

But not all lights in the darkness are natural daylight leading to the exits from Plato’s cave.

|content=Instantly stop all progress in the world’s most successful scientific community using only two words inducing permanent paralytic failure that cannot be questioned.

I’ll go first: [[Quantum Gravity|“Quantum Gravity”]]

|content=Hi Sabine!

I don’t follow your statement here. How am I confused?

|content=I just meant the cause of the problem is that theoretical physicists don't understand the responsibility they carry when experimental tests take longer and longer. That they got stuck on (a particular idea of) quantum gravity is the effect, but not the cause.

|content=Hmm. As you know I’m historically a big supporter of your courage &amp; insight as critic. Perhaps you know something here that I do not as a nonphysicist. Open to that.

But I disagree. The Q-Gravity Mass Delusion is quite different in character. It is highly specific in its effect.

|content=It is tied to all sorts of weirdness involving top physics and math people, bizarre funders, forgotten research institutes, aerospace companies, post Manhattan Project government secrecy, [[The Golden Age of General Relativity|the golden age of General Relativity]] and…words fail me…outright quackery.

|content=GUTs are a good test case. I believe you are in error going after Beauty when it comes to Grand Unified Theory. Your critique to Neil Degrasse Tyson recently applied to Georgi and Glashow Basic SU(5)…but not to [[Pati-Salam|Pati-Salaam]] SU(4) x SU(2) x SU(2) for example.

|content=I caution that you not fall into the trap of using Beauty as critique. 

The abuse of Beauty in [[String Theory]] and [[Quantum Gravity]] more generally is valid as a target. 

Critiquing the use of beauty, by contrast is a suicide mission. And I don’t want to see you on it. As a friend.
