Title: Lost in Math Author: Sabine Hossenfelder Narrator: Laura Jennings Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins Release date: 12-04-18 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 1,020 ratings Genres: Science Publisher's Summary: 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.
