@AlexanderRKlotz @martinmbauer Outsiders? I see. So those who think there is a problem are outsiders. Like Feynman? Glashow? Etc? Nah. That’s not really what happened. Look at Hep-th or https://t.co/3By75PQ5o4 I don’t think this is a PR problem. Thinking this is just a PR problem *is* the science problem. — PolitiTweet.org

P.S. “It hasn’t even failed” because it can’t fail. So far as I can see, it can never fail. In the minds of the faithful, It’s unable to fail because it *has* to be the way forward. It’s hard to explain what’s wrong with that to the enlightened who see its infinite power & glory. — PolitiTweet.org

What has string theory done to become the poster child of failed physics? It hasn’t even failed.

@michaelshermer Well, there may be no mind blowing alien revelations. But the handling of this story has to be a revelation. Whether we’ll learn it soon is a different question. I just can’t fathom how this narrative was pulled off. And I want to know that at a minimum. It’s an enormous story. — PolitiTweet.org
