Krátky popis
In this ",provocative", book (New York Times), a contrarian
physicist argues that her field's modern obsession with beauty has
given us wonderful math but bad science. &,nbsp, Whether
pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists
believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and
this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This
is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major
breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four
decades.The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now
conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable
to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand
unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.
Worse, these ",too good to not be true", theories are actually
untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac.To escape,
physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as
it is can science discover the truth.
