Jo Dunkley: 2020 Breakthrough Prize Symposium

Why does the new crop of oh so -WOKE particle physicists and exuberant young science explainers , on the road for public lectures , alas remind me of the New Atheism gone evangelical, remind me of charlatan TV preachers waving their hands in the air and pleading for more of God's money ? ? "Oh Almighty God-Particle please let we of your Church of the Big Bang not have lived in vain " . MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING -NESS really. But buy my book and write your Congress to keep funding bigger and better atom smashers ! Public " SCIENCE " joins the capitalist Culture of Narcissism ! How can any great mind die without even knowing what happened in the first billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second in the Big Bang ? And every day a new crop of fresh faced scientists are making groundbreaking , mind boggling discoveries in ALL fields. But do not expect from them any rational explanation of this capitalist nightmare hell on earth . That might discourage government funding ! https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/26/physics-particles-physicists
