A very concise summary of the past 30 years or so since I’ve been following this, beginning with my college astronomy classes. It was great to see so many of the astronomers and physicists I’ve read about all together in this presentation. Some day some folks making rude comments on this thread (who, strangely, seem to be the usual suspects known for snide pooh-poohing) will perhaps come back to the core of science, which is making observations and then devising testable explanations for those observations. I think one of the speakers who criticized the American post-doc system as aggravating the problem of entrenched orthodoxy was exactly right.

That’s about right. I see a lot of what is called physics today going away within the next ten or fifteen years.
