Dr Sabine Hossenfelder is a theoretical physicist and a fierce defender of the essence of science. She is a Champion of erradicating nonsensical Ideas. She is passionate about outreaxh and communication of advanced scientific ideas “without the gobbledygook” on her YouTube channel @Sabine Hossenfelder
She is a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies where she works on physics beyond the standard model, phenomenological quantum gravity, and modifications of general relativity. Hossenfelder has also been researching since at least 2008 on how technology is changing researchers' ability to publicize, discuss, or publish their research, when she co-organized the Science in the 21st Century workshop.

She has written more than 70 research articles, mostly dedicated to quantum gravity and physics beyond the standard model. Her research is or has been supported by the Foundational Questions Institute, the German Research Foundation, the Swedish Research Foundation, and the Franklin Fetzer Fund.

In her channel @Sabine Hossenfelder = "Science without the gobbledygook," Sabine talks straight about science: No hype, no spin, no tip-toeing around inconvenient truths. New video each Saturday.

Hossenfelder's first book, Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, released in June 2018. A review in Nature described it as "provocative", and Frank Wilczek recommended it as an "intensely personal and intellectually hard-edged" book, even though he disagreed with it "on many points" (Basic Books, 2018)

00:00:00 Intro
00:00:59 Is philosophy dangerous for physicists?
00:02:22 Is there more "hype" in physics than in other sciences?
00:04:23 What do you think of the optimism aimed at future experiments such as LISA?
00:07:42 How did you arrive at the conclusions you did on your most recent paper without knowing initial conditions?
00:11:30 What if James Cleark Maxwell could tweet? Would he have been discredited?
00:13:42 Why is there so much attention on UFOs ? Is it just bayesian inference?
00:16:00 What visual evidence counts as data? Especially where UFOs are concerned?
00:17:30 Can you reiterate your thoughts on the mulitiverse theory and its' relationship to dogma?
00:24:15 What do you think of string theories claims to explain so much with so little evidence, leaving it to others to measure initial and boundary conditions?
00:29:20 You're a critic of big experiments. Where do you think physics is going/should go?
00:35:40 How did you become a youtube science star?
59:50:00 What do you think of the doctrine of "fine-tuning" of the Universe?
