Sabine Hossenfelder is a German theoretical physicist and research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. Known for her work in phenomenology, her research interests include physics beyond the standard model, modifications of general relativity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. Hossenfelder is also a prominent science communicator, sharing her insights into the complexities of physics and the philosophy of science with a broader audience through her blog, "Backreaction," and her YouTube channel. She has contributed significantly to discussions on the scientific and ethical implications of technological advancements and the role of beauty in physics. Hossenfelder's critical perspective on the current state of theoretical physics, especially her critique of the field's focus on aesthetic criteria, has sparked considerable debate. She is the author of "Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray," where she argues that the pursuit of elegant theories may be hampering progress in understanding the universe.
