  1. I've gotten it. So many egos......

  2. In physics specifically the field is loaded with chumps who want the prestige of being the genius scientist more than they want to just crunch real world math problems. Part of this is because educations are artificially cheap, but part of it was the success of early 20th century physicists where 50 world famous scientists all posed for one photograph, but that was only possible because at the time people thought theoretical physics was solved so very few men (and yes almost all of them were men) were working on very big problems.

  3. Shut up. Get drafted

  4. Frankly, science has never deserved its reputation. Once in a blue moon a smart guys explains an experiment that no one understands but it lets us do something cool so everyone thinks people in his field are great. Back in the industrial revolution there was one magician who had a house full of illusions to make people think he had made an etheric energy generator and collected investor money for three decades. For countless centuries there were basic mistakes in medical manuals about human anatomy because no one wanted to autopsy a human so many things were assumed from animal anatomy. Galieo himself wrote horoscopes.

  5. Part of it is just aggro atheists. These guys hate their religious parents and want to call them stupid. The other reason is because academia attracts egotistical bastards

  6. We only know about that scandal because the professors were trying to steal credit via press release so it was a very public incident.

  7. Lose the bull. It's a pyramid scheme

  8. I think you're missing the trend that science progress comes in waves. I.E. Most performance increases to rockets came within 50 years of Goddard's invention, but now we are near the limit of what is even hypothetically possible. The lack of real progress just means you picked the wrong field to invest your whole life into.

  9. Those are not incompatible statements
