A contrarian argues that modern physicists' obsession with beauty has given us wonderful math but bad science
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.

##初看题目觉得是在黑string，其实作者指的范围更大，是物理学里到底对美的追求该占多大作用。反正我喜欢数学和理论物理，主要是因为那些美的东西能激起内心的热情，若是都是很繁琐的计算，怕也提不起兴趣。说到底这个还是个人选择吧。另外还是觉得即使从物理学本身来讲追求美并没有错，只是需要更多审美的角度吧，才不至于死在一条路上，而对一个人来说，lost in math何尝不是一件幸事呢
评分##2019-05-27 想读 有评论说她在车轱辘话来回说，但采访了这么多当代一流物理学家，结果大家都说一类的话，也说明问题吧。
评分##对理论物理学家的田野调查。和Nima Arkani-Hamed, Steven Weinberg，Joe Polchinski, 文小刚等人的访谈很值得一读。

评分##E送我的书。不同学科间存在的问题还是很有共性的。
评分##反经验
评分同样的论点，翻来覆去说很多遍
评分##跟想的不一样，以为会有概念上的发展和论证，结果一直是举例子讲故事重复观点。。
