#Theoretical #physicist #SabineHossenfelder touches on the vast implications emerging from an ostensibly simple question: What is #Complexity?

She sees it as the biggest gap in #science, urging studies in complexity to advance our understandings of #cosmology, #math, #lifesciences and #philosophy. Could this be where #physics gets itself unstalled (#MattODowd)?

When theoretical physicist #MattODowd worries if #physics is being stalled, could one of the nearly 200 identified #cognitive #biases be at play? One such obstacle to clearer perceiving & thinking is called "Plan Continuation Bias". A 2-minute animated video illustrates the concept. h/t @redshiftdrift

#Astrophysicist Matt O'Dowd

…"#physics is insanely successful, most unbelievably successful in its predictive power about #nature. But there's a sense, I think a growing sense, that physics is stalled in this final sprint toward a #theory of #everything"…
