Who is really able to judge whether your theory is good or not? And what are the criteria of editors and reviewers? Is it only their experiences? Is all that matters to them the audience like on TV even if the content of the program is super empty? Is this how we are moving further and further away from fundamental physics?
How do we distinguish between excellent theories and flawed ones? Is my theory inherently flawed while yours is deemed excellent?
In today’s world, it seems the opinion of a celebrity physicist—ideally one with a prestigious award—holds the power to decide what qualifies as "excellent."
Yet, I believe there is ultimately only one true theory capable of answering the most profound questions, while the number of flawed theories is limitless. Science, at its core, should strive to uncover that one true theory above all else.
Yes, you are right,
“However, I believe that ultimately there is only one true theory that can answer the most profound questions, while the number of flawed theories is unlimited. Science, at its core, should strive to discover this one true theory before anything else”
But I also say that there should be only one ultimate theory, but all theories, let’s say more or less valid, are theories that are parallel to the ultimate theory, but never meet. Where stand the peer reviewers into all this?
The peer reviewers (most of them) are like members of a motorcycle gang with a picture of Einstein on their back... they can judge, but I presume their ability to think is weakened by the dogma... However... mainstream physics and astrophysics are one big mess. First when most of the old fashion scientists are dead we can maybe see a light in the future... they won't admit that the Nobel Prize (or the PhD) they received was for nonsense...
Berndt Barkholz,
You said,
"First of all, when most of the old scientists are dead, we may be able to see a light in the future... they will not admit that the Nobel Prize (or the doctorate) they received was for nonsense..."
But it is not yet certain because after about 75 years of his death, Einstein has not had his reward for his work, except for his work on the photoelectric effect. what to say about us!
When I speak of the new physics, it is as if I came from the world of aliens or the rare ones who lend me their ears. They only admire the integrals that keep filling the pages, it is their good theory because in fact no one can understand them thoroughly or contradict them.
