>>13917185>>13917607Lubos Motl is the archetype of this behavior. His blog has been 17 years of the most unbridled arrogance I've ever seen of a physicist. Just check it out:
https://motls.blogspot.com/I like a lot of what he says about politics, race, gender, anti-communism, etc. But dear fucking god when it comes to science he sounds like a maniac. He even denigrates all physicists who aren't string theorists (string phenomenologists included, gotta be a "theorist", no dirty experiments allowed kek).
Regarding mathematicians:
https://motls.blogspot.com/2013/03/pierre-deligne-wins-abel-prize.html>However, the depth of a mathematician may arguably be measured by the extent to which his or her insights start to influence cutting-edge theoretical physics in the present and, if possible, in the future. For decades, this criterion was equivalent to the role that the mathematical insights play in string theory.He also thinks string theory can solve the Riemann hypothesis lmfao
