She’s not even an expert in this subject but she has name recognition so OP wants her opinion. Just weird.


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.
