Dr. S. Hossenfelder and science's failure

[Dennis P Brown]

A good vid (and PLEASE! I am not responsible for any commercials played before her vid. Its election season here and they are a fact of life.)

She gives a good overview of what has already been discussed here by Richard not too long ago - science not progressing in over fifty years.

She doesn't point any specific finger but I will - Steven Hawking's and his fellow media spotlight hog, Penrose. What they did back then was exploit their earned fame (exterior of Black Hole (BH) physics) - and went 100% pseudoscience when they pushed the study of BH interiors (impossible to falsify.) They used this to create far more papers, grants and fame. No wonder so many physicist fell into the same trap. BS math to claim insight into unprovable physics makes one famous, gets papers published and grant money flows. This has been a cancer in all of science but particle physics especially.

Of course 'Prof'. Dave has his merits. I posted her talk because it supports the main topic - physics has not made any major advancement in the field for nearly 50 years which we have discussed here before. That is not in any manner anti-science, just a fact, by the way.

I do have issues with his idea that she is anti-science over the years. That IMO is so silly as to be something I could rant on and show counter example after example but frankly, I don't care. He has his opinion and I have mine. I think his is unsupported after listening to his points. Most his arguments appear as strawmen arguments. So, I will simply agree to disagree here.

Here is why I posted and will continue to post.

My fundamental issue is that all current work relative to the interior of Black Holes (BH) is 100% absolutely pseudoscience. That anyone claiming to do science would EVER write ANY paper about the interior of a BH is not science at all - period.


Again, that subject is NOT empirical science and that type of work is total nonsense. Both Hawking and Penrose and worse now, a host of others have created this total BS field of study and it is 100% useless (except to get headlines and convince people to fund this totally bogus work.) People I do view as brilliant (including Hawking's) have traveled this road to my shock and disappointment. It is, and ALWAYS will be, unfalsifiable so it is NOT in ANY way science. That is my issue. Stating a fact like that is not anti-science but is damning considering what they are doing to the field of science.
