Sabine Hossenfelder: We now live in the grip of post-factualism would seem naturally repellent to most physicists. But in championing theory without demanding empirical evidence, we're guilty of ignoring the facts ourselves.
That is non-science to be trusted, part of the scientific method is to question everything. Don't trust it until it can be peer-reviewed; even then, you can question the peer review. Scientific theories can only be beaten by better science.
