As someone who has tried to ask this question, I can tell you that mostly the big programs have granted themselves a science equivalent of 'dipolmatic immunity' from the standards they impose on their intellectual competitors. But from today forward, we must end that game. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
We need to spend perhaps 5yrs asking "If the leaders have not succeeded for FIVE DECADES in moving beyond the Standard Model, then why are they leading this field and directing the resources, research, and path forward? What if we listened to those who the leadership push aside?" — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
So by all means, let's celebrate. But it is time to ask new voices for wild, dangerous and irresponsible ideas. Peer review failed. Quantum Gravity Failed. Community norms failed. And soon there will be NO ONE LEFT proven to be able to play this game. So what do we do? — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
If we're going to truly wrestle w/ dark matter, or dark energy, or UAP that supposedly violate our laws of physics (e.g. General Relativity) we can't afford a leaders projecting their fears that THEY have wasted their lives, credibility and students careers on "Quantum Gravity". — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
It is time to hold conferences dedicated to the issues of groupthink in physics. Why wont our leading voices admit failure? We don't know. Previous generations wanted their students to succeed. But String Theory is dominated by boomers who seem oblivious to danger. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
We spent almost 80% of this time being told that ST was a 'Piece of 21st Century Physics that fell into the 20th Century.' Uh. Bullshit. That is an excuse. It's not clear that it's physics at all. It's a "Failed piece of 20th Century Physics still hanging around in the 21stC". https://t.co/7hp32i70ng — PolitiTweet.org

Next Year, will be 40 years of failure for modern StringTheory to ship a product. To be clear and STEELMAN the argument for strings, it *is* a remarkable framework. It is REAL math. It teaches us things no other framework has. But, it *destroyed* the culture of honest physics. https://t.co/Gux6mHs0nM — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
To put it bluntly, it is not just that Quantum Gravity doesn't work. It's that you can't comfortably question Quatnum Gravity because the failed investment is on a scale that I think is difficult for us to contemplate. It includes StringTheory, Loop Quantum Gravity, AdS/CFT etc. https://t.co/3Stejnsnkd — PolitiTweet.org

So what went wrong? I will be talking about my understanding of the stagnation this year at a different level. But the single greatest threat to fundamental physics in my estimation is something called "Quantum Gravity" which was really born 70 years ago around 1953. https://t.co/mzYc7HAb6R — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
I will point out that our experimentalists are in FAR better shape. The massive nature of neutrinos, discovery of gravitational waves, the Higgs field, Intermediate Vector Bosons, Accelerating Expansion of the Universe/Dark Energy are all major successes over the last 50 years. https://t.co/54uGtTTAwr — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
What fundamental physics really is, is (approximately) captured by the table below. In short, if someone is below the age of 70, they may have proven their brilliance and mathematical ability, but they have not proven any ability to make contact with reality as theorists. https://t.co/E33n8h6bHv — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
So I am celebrating today by pointing out the obvious: maybe it isn't a good idea to have people who haven't made contact with actual fundamental physics telling everyone else what they must and must not do to be members of a club that no longer works according to normal science. https://t.co/Pqlnp566jg — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
When you hear about "Peer Review" in this field, you have to understand that the field stopped working. Without nature telling us, we don't actually know who the physicists are any more. We have no idea who is a fundamental physicist. All we know is that what we do doesn't work. https://t.co/RsrTwXaxBt — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
To be clear, It is not as if there are no Nobel Laureates recognized for fundamental discoveries in particle theory left. I believe we are down to the last 8. Half of them are in their 70s. One in his 80s. Three are nongenarians. Yes. It's that bad. And we're not honest about it. https://t.co/Rx6fzgUaPO — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
Unfortunately, it also marks the end of what we can be certain actually is physics. Imagine if Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" was still the #1 song on Billboard's Hot 100 & Tony Orlando and Dawn were singing "Tie a Yellow Ribbon". That, in a nutshell, is fundamental phsyics. https://t.co/ELNoJQpRvs — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Weinstein @EricRWeinstein
Today May be Considered the 50 year Anniversary of the Stagnation of Particle Physics. Today Feb 1 marks the appearance of Kobayashi & Maskawa's englargment of the Cabibo Angle to the three generation 3x3 CKM matrix. That should be cause for celebration. So let us celebrate! https://t.co/ZJbX5W71g3 — PolitiTweet.org
