Apologies to all his fans... but I do not approve generally of "pop scientists" foisted by media as "the last word" on anything... ever... even their 'overviews' often trouble me... their flare is for creating a narrative to spread the current scientific state of affairs... they do well, some very well...
But having personal experience with the Research community... as a direct observer... I know that much of science has become almost "doctrinal" in expression... so scientific dissent for example, is jettisoned because "they didn't do it our way." That's not healthy for progress...
There are topics these well-loved scientists simply dismiss as unworthy... and others simply don't 'fit' in the 'model' selected this season...
The "culture" of the scientific community needs to be surveyed and reported without any virtue language, without any 'allegiances' and certainly NO politics... These people can't seem to say anything without 'selling' something else.
It's the ever-present dissenter on my shoulder...
Nevertheless... 'celebrity' scientists aside, I think our continuous collective 'acceptance by silence" feeding on the "quantum" universe concept is myopic and has slowed progress in both research and knowledge... but it makes good press...
Scientists seem enamored of their cleverness within a theoretical 'quantum' framework... operating endlessly to 'achieve' a mathematical "quantum" leap (pardon the pun) that will explain "everything" in one mathematical expression....
The key however of my dissent argument is not about the math... it's about the presumptions in the model.
As if our conceptual "models" were "perfectly complete" to begin with...
