It constantly amazes me how much attention Hossenfelder, a simple research fellow, manages to attract.


Intelligently communicating complex topics to the masses is a valuable skill in itself. She gains a lot of credibility with her humble attitude and willingness to admit what she does not know.


Sabine isn't very accurate though and pushes her own fringe ideas while criticising everybody else.


Even if that's the case, she seems able to differentiate opinion from fact.


She opines on a lot of things she has very little knowledge about and her writing style is terrible. But it’s crack for HN readers who mistake skepticisms and snark for insight.


Do you have an educational youtube channel? Will definitely take a look if you do.


PBS Space Time seems pretty good. He gives good explanations and gives a balanced perspective to both sides when there's debate.


Hossenfelder has been in Physics for more than 25 years and is a seasoned researcher and communicator. Her “academic rank” shouldn’t and in fact doesn’t have any bearing on her impact.
