2018-06-02,Why some scientists say physics has gone off the rails

    "All of the theoretical work that's been done since the 1970s has not produced a single successful prediction," says Neil Turok, director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada. "That's a very shocking state of affairs." This doesn't mean physicists aren't busy; the journals are publishing more research than ever. But Turok says all that research isn't doing much to advance our understanding of the universe — at least not the way physicists did in the last century. Lots of activity, little progress Physicists today "write a lot of papers, build a lot of [theoretical] models, hold a lot of conferences, cite each other — you have all the trappings of science," he says. "But for me, physics is all about making successful predictions. And that's been lacking."

物理学家Neil Turok说:“自1970年代后,所有的理论工作都还没有产生一个成功的预言,这是很令人震惊的现状。”

但这并不意味着物理学家没有在埋头苦思,事实上现在发表于期刊上的研究论文比以往任何时候都要多。但Turok表示,目前所有的研究并没能真正的帮助我们更好地理解宇宙——至少不像上个世纪那些物理学家所做到的那样。

他说:“现如今,物理学家撰写许多的论文、建立许多的理论模型、举办许多的研讨会议、相互引用彼此的研究成果——我们拥有了好的科学所需要的一切。但我认为,一个好的物理理论就是要能成功地作出预言,而这正是目前所缺乏的。”
