Sabine Hossenfelder on Physics, Reality, and Lost in Math

Sabine Hossenfelder talks about her book Lost in Math with host Russ Roberts. She argues that the latest theories in physics have failed to find empirical confirmation. She argues that physicists have become overly enamored with the elegance and aesthetics of their theories and that using beauty to evaluate a model is unscientific. The conversation includes a discussion of similar challenges in economics.
