Pandemia ist ein Wissenschaftspodcast von Laura Salm-Reifferscheidt und Kai Kupferschmidt. Wir erzählen die großen und kleinen Geschichten rund um Epidemien, Impfstoffe und globale Gesundheit und fragen, was sie uns über Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft verraten. Im Zentrum stehen Recherche, Gespräche mit Forschenden und Betroffenen und der Blick hinter die Kulissen: Wie entsteht gesichertes Wissen? Wo liegen Unsicherheiten?

Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.
