Comment on Most Physicists Don't Agree on Most Things

Comments

The title is radically untrue. Most physicists agree on the overwhelming majority of physics. The body of the article makes clear that the title is deceptive:

asking physicists what they actually believe about ten of the most contested questions in physics.

In other words, most physicists don't agree on ten specific questions that have not been settled. That's a tautology and is a very far cry from "most things".

There's a link you can click to see the personal background of the respondents. It's tough to know what "researcher in a field not listed" means, but it's possible that over 60% are not even physicists:

    30.8% - A researcher in a field not listed above
    21.2% - A science enthusiast
    18.0% - A researcher studying quantum physics
    12.0% - A researcher studying astrophysics or cosmology
     9.2% - A researcher studying gravity
     8.8% - Other

Yeah. And they are contested not because physicists can’t agree but because there is a lack of evidence. With evidence most will agree.

Excellent point. It's a little sad that this has to be explained, but it very often does.

It's a tautology, who would need explaining of it? The fact that "if there is evidence for something, people will agree with that thing". That's like, pretty much the definition of evidence...
