Talk about the moral decay of theoretical physics...

This is just like one of those miller lite ads where somebody smacks a beer bottle on the table and on the TV they see a mix of dog racing and bikini mud wrestling.

The trouble is that it is so hard to get established that the field is dominated by old fogies; as a kid in the 80s I was aware of this contradiction but it was censored from the physics literature. Instead the greybeards were worried about the information paradox which turned out to be no paradox at all.



Nobody prevents you from postulating your own theory, but those almost always turn out "tinfoil hats".

That's interesting. Do you think it's better or worse in this respect than other sciences or other academic fields?
