>>10891864who is this a quote from? it doesn't even make sense. nobody in physics believes in a model that makes a definitive prediction and then that prediction gets ruled out. electroweak scale susy has been checked and it isn't there.
there are other susy scenarios, but they're beyond the electroweak scale.
>>10891874>>10893096see, this is what happens when normies read Sabine Hosstardfelder. her objections to theoretical physics are scientific arguments. not wacko conspiracy theories. but brainlets read her and go "hmmm, CONSPIRACY!!!!"
physicists lobbying politicians? what? like what, we hire lobbyists to take them out on boating trips or something? that's not how it works. "Grant proposals" are what we call the process for asking for gibs, because there is a technocracy of experts in the government who are only allowed to give out funding to specific people based on their scientific grant proposals. the idea that string theorists sitting in their dens go "ah, let's funnel my 5 million dollars to, i donno, Schumer or something" is not only impossible but ridiculous. even pro-science billionaires like Jim Simons aren't trying to bribe anyone into funding theoretical physics, since Simons can just fund a crapload of them himself since they only get paid like 100k per year
