I haven’t been blogging lately because there’s
simply no progress being made in fundamental physics, so there’s nothing to
blog about. Even Sabine Hossenfelder, one of the most prolific physics bloggers
still blogging frequently, has had little current news to comment on for her
blog Backreaction and is resorting to pedagogical posts on physics fundamentals,
or alternatively, complaining that her physics colleagues are ignoring the need
for new approaches to break the impasse in fundamental research in favor of
doing the same things as always to ensure a steady paycheck. I don’t know what
she expects them to do, and neither do they, and neither does she.
