|content=That said, I think she’s much harder to beat as she gains confidence in her ability to stand for science. It’s an impressive act of conscience & bravery to go it alone like this, and I wish the physics community saw it for what it is. I may disagree at times, but my hat is off. | |content=That said, I think she’s much harder to beat as she gains confidence in her ability to stand for science.

|content=We oddly now live in a Hossenfelder era of Theoretical physics. Sabine is almost distinguished by a near total unwillingness/inability to sit quietly through the hype machines in Theoretical physics that feed the demands of lay people, journalists & physicists. But is she right? | |content=We oddly now live in a Hossenfelder era of Theoretical physics.

|content=My take is that she is usually right. Not only that, many in the community rail against her when *they* know she is making sense. | |content=My take is that she is usually right. Not only that, many in the community rail against her when *they* know she is making sense. | ||
But where she‘s wrong could be very significant. I would love to *try* to defend the role of beauty in physics (tarnished by string theory) from her. | But where she‘s wrong could be very significant.
