Chaitin on Fundamental Physics/Science

Famous mathematician and computer scientist Gregory Chaitin gives a harsh evaluation of fundamental physics/science:

  • We live in an era of stagnation of scientific innovation.
  • I am disappointed. Too much bureaucracy. The dean can count but not read.
  • The system is deeply flawed.
  • I hope there will be a renaissance with new fundamental ideas some day.
  • Tremendous pressure to conform. We need more creative chaos.
  • Universities are basically conservative institutions with tremendous inertia.
  • It is better to be wrong with the majority, than to be right on your own.
  • Maybe AI will give people more time to be curious...?
  • and more...listen yourself... 
I can add my own experience to Chaitin's story...
