I've read that the same sort of thing is happening in the world of physics. Professors who support string theory get tenured, and then promoted. Professors who doubt string theory get shown the door.
So much for healthy skepticism. It seems like we have regressed to a time before the Age of Enlightenment. Accept the establishment viewpoint, or get fired.
Exactly.
I've recently read that string theory is a dead end. Is that wrong?
