OP is not a physicist and Sabine is able to break down the problems and issues with many of the scientific and unscientific theories that are thrown around so that even a layperson can follow the rational.
So, I get the drift of the article. Do I have enough knowledge to make any reasonable assumptions about the validity of the findings it presents? Nope, not at all.
That's why I cherish Sabine. She's down to earth and has an understanding of science that suits me. She's definitely more than enough physics under her belt[0] to be qualified to talk about these topics. Go away with your 'She not an expert'. Have you seen her qualifications?
"Naw," I hear you say "she's a theoretical physicist, not a particle physicist."
Yeah, well. I'm a Software Engineer. I can still tell if a Network Engineer tells bullshit.
I do understand why some people hate on her; she's abrasive and irreverent. Some people don't like their ivory towers to be besmirched.
