Many claims in established physics are not evidence-based at all
The Grand Delusion of theoretical physicists with their elegant mathematical models
In a very intresting book called ‘Farewell to reality’, the author Jim Baggot, a former academic scientist, is arguing that most theories in established physics are NOT evidence-based at all.
Baggots argues that seeking to resolve the problems in physics, the contemporary theorists have crossed a boundary. They are suffering ‘a Grand Delusion’ – a believe that they can describe reality using mathematics alone. With no foundation in scientific fact.
He actually calls it ‘fairy-tale physics’, but we all can call it ‘nonsense’ or ‘pseudo-science’, (the term for claims without evidence at all).
I strongly recommend this book to critical thinkers on the forum here. I honestly like this book very much, because it confirms my idea that there is too much fuzzy math in physics (we have to learn) and to less evidence to back up the claims. There is 'coherence' but no 'correspondence' (with reality), he argues.
Jim Baggots writes:
“Now, modern science has discovered that reality of our physical existence is bizarre in many ways, but this is bizarness for witch there is an accumulated body of accepted scientific evidence. There is as yet no observational or experimental evidence for many of the concepts of contemporary theoretical physics such as supersymmetric particles, superstrings, the multiverse, the holographic principle or the antrophic cosmological principle.”
“This stuff is not only not true, it’s not even science.”
So, a consistent critical thinker can finally argue why these mathematical fantasies are nonsense, if the physicist can’t show us the physical evidence.
It's very intresting lecture for consistent critical thinkers.
I strongly recommand the book. This book is kind of in the emperor has no clothes genre.
