Thread 16739753

Sabine Hossenfelder just got a train ran on her by six physicists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oipI5TQ54tA

Whats the beef about?

>>16739753 (OP)
Buy. A. Fucking. Ad.

>>16739753 (OP)
Her grifting(particularly after 2022) can be destroyed by an undergrad. Why waste the time of physicists? That too 6 of them?

>At this point, everyone who watches my content is well aware that Sabine is a disgusting fraud peddling propaganda for fascist oligarchs
Is he schizophrenic? He sounds unhinged, not sure if he's worth watching still.

>>16739804
she gets paid to talk shit to help billionaires defund research so they can get even bigger tax cuts
>>16739860
if an undergrad tries this, she will flaunt her credentials to avoid adressing the argument
>>16739862
is he wrong tho?

>>16739895
>is he wrong tho?
no idea

>>16739862
Seems like a partisan hack to me. Every video he puts out is him sitting in his hugbox and just hurling insults at people. This beef probabily has less to do with physics and more to do with the fact that Weinstein is more of an old school leftist, and not a lobotomized 100% progressive shitlib. Weinstein has been on Joe Rogan, which is technically "Nazi-ajacent" for him I guess.

>>16739902
>to do with the fact that Weinstein is more of an old school leftist that was on rogan
bullshit, hes not getting shitted on because he was on rogan, but because of what he was saying on rogan, while farina does hurl insults, he also says what is wrong with what theyre saing and why, then he calls them idiots and hacks again, if this was supposed to be a misdirection on your part, youre shit at it

>>16739895
>she will flaunt her credentials
she never even won a grant, she has no credentials

>>16739905
Dont know what you mean with "misdirection". Just gave my honest opinion on that Dave guy. So what is his beef with Weinstein if it is not proxy ideological? Is it with the peer-review thing or is it the geometric unity thing?

>>16739895
he should show the emails he sent (and to whom) so we have an idea of how many physicists ignored him as well as what they agreed to talk about and under what criteria.

There's a big difference between 100% of physicists being reached out to agreeing to speak freely about their unbiased opinions and 5% of physicists reached out to responding to say "yes, i have seen her videos already and do not like her and will talk about it"

Anyone who knows anything about science, specifically conferences, knows there is wide disagreement from physicists about these things (and especially people). It's cliquey, in other words

>>16739753 (OP)
>defends science
>quotes pop-science book
>doesn't cite it
holy fucking shit. no need to watch any more of the video, this is retarded.

wtf why did peskin talk to this 'tard? did not-a-professor dave pay peskin? if so, this is hypocrisy of the highest degree

>>16739947
they did cite the book. it was sabine's own book

>>16739753 (OP)
As not-professor dave struggles for relevance, he pulls from more and more petty people. There has certainly be no vetting going on. Don't be surprised when all of them are in scandals. His regular content is regurgitating intro topics for mouth breathing retards. His cyclic rage-bait is going to blow up in his face one day.

>>16740082
>His cyclic rage-bait is going to blow up in his face one day.
any day now, two more weeks max

>>16740068
i didn't continue watching the video. maybe you're telling the truth, maybe not. i wouldn't know, and i don't care. my screenshot of christian's slide speaks for itself. it's horrible practice to show something and then cite it later. things should be cited when they appear. this is standard protocol in science. this means christian's slide and rhetoric is not scientific in nature.

>>16739947
>breakthrough
Has this ever been put to the test, experimentally?

>>16740084
It already did with Tour. Dave found some angsty and angry student who wanted to talk shit about Tour converting someone before he died. But then Tour came out with interviews of the dudes wife, the minister responsible for the conversion, etc. It was a whole ordeal. Farina is desperate. The best part is, the retard left his video up to be laughed at forever. Not even the balls to apologize.

>>16739860
Okay prove her wrong. Or are you dumber than an undergrad?

>>16739862
He's an angry mother fucker but I would be too if I knew as much as he has researched. Let's be real he is like smarter than almost everyone on this board and has gone over so much just *publically*. Who knows what his politics are but they are most certainly based as fuck.

>>16739947

LOLZ, he actully made a powerpoint slide deck to debunk Sabine

>>16740253
Than who would you watch? There isnt much better

>>16739753 (OP)

Did Juan Maldacena really copy Eric Weinstein's idea of "foreign exchange as Gauge theory" without citation? Big If True

reminder that the last guy who had this big of a hate boner toward sabine (lubos) got sued. i eagerly await the impending defamation lawsuit david "my son has autism" farina will get slapped with.

>Says it's pointless to unify all fundamental forces
>Says their are no predictions about AdS/CFT in string theory despite it making predictions about thermodynamics of black holes.
>Says geometric unity holds as much merit as string theory
Sorry I was wrong even a high-school dropout like me can prove her wrong.

>>16739818
Where do you think you are, sweetie?

>>16739753 (OP)
>basedence podcast sound exactly like yankee tv (colbert, leibowitz, etc.)

Clockwork.

>>16739753 (OP)
>Dave pulled up with the whole squad like the end of Avengers Endgame lmao.

>>16740334
Sorry sweety, but in science predictions must be testable.

>>16740334
>despite it making predictions about thermodynamics of black holes
I hope this is ironic shitposting.

>>16739753 (OP)
shitfluencers beefing with pissfluencers. Read 5 pages of a textbook instead of wasting your time with this, you'll be better off and mentally healthier.

99.95 percent of viewers have no idea what they're talking about, anyways. And can't reasonably be expected to figure out who's in the right here. So what's the point of dragging this mud flinging into the public?

>>16740267
So Eric is the guy that ceaselessly seethes about "lil' timmy" on /tv/. I'm not surprised.

>>16740097
I usually would agree with having a citation easy to find. I think he held off because he was exercising rhetoric where he was quoting someones favorable opinions about ADS/CFT, and then revealing at the end these opinions actually came from Sabine. Here is the time stamp for when he reveals the author.

"Let's be real he is like smarter than almost everyone on this board" No he is not.
He is the most archetypical midwit ive ever come across.
Spergs out at some women (who is a legit physicist) who is somewhat skeptical of string theory, makes lots of videos of her filled with mostly insults while he himself has absolutely no idea about what he is talking about in regards to physics.
He just refers to the consensus of physicists who study/work with string theory (thus have incentive to keep/increase interest --> paycheck) in his latest video while admitting that he doesnt understand anything.
Says that it pisses him off immensly that someone goes against the established orthodoxy.
At the same time he does not and can not understand anything about the actual subject matter.
If by "based" you mean "complete midwit consensus rider NPC", then yea sure.

You can say this about any rando on the street. It is nothing to brag about. He is a. midwit at best.
