Sabine is on the war path again. Note the portrait of Eric Weinstein in the background... :D
Background: Professor Dave constantly attacks mathematician and gadfly Eric Weinstein, probably for political reasons. Weinstein is allied with Peter Thiel, while Dave pretends to be a "leftist". Thiel is the man who "created" J D Vance. Since most physicists regard Weinstein´s theory of everything (known as Geometric Unity) as pseudo-science or "not even wrong", Dave can pretend to be a valiant knight for Science (TM) when attacking Thiel´s alleged errand boy.
Quantum physicist and science influencer Sabine Hossenfelder is apparently a friend of Eric´s, which may or may not explain Dave´s attacks on *her*. Are they also politically motivated?
In the video above, Sabine accuses Weinstein´s detractors of hypocrisy. Yes, Geometric Unity isn´t really a "theory" blah-blah but everything else in theoretical physics is BS anyway, so on that score, Weinstein´s speculations are neither better nor worse than those of everyone else "working" in the field! For instance, the guys who gave us string theory.
This might get really ugly really fast. Sabine, how dare you?!
