Dr. Angela Collier plays the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and talks at length about what went wrong with string theory, and how that affected science communication.

    Well, I meant the field of string theory and the leadng scientists she mentioned. And calling her rant dumb seems like you are dismissing her argument without actually thinking about it. So you probably aren’t interested in an open discussion either…

      She only mentions Brian Greene and then lumps every single other string physicist in with him.

      And calling her rant dumb seems like you are dismissing her argument without actually thinking about it.

      I’m calling it dumb because I listened to the whole thing, thought about it, and assessed it to be dumb.

      You don’t need half an hour to say “Brian Greene is a dingus who overrepresented his confidence in string theory to sell books”, and that was the only legitimate point she actually made.
