Was Einsteinian physics the Neo-Liberalism of Science?

'In fact, according to them, it is something worse. Modern physics as we understand it, as has been explained to the public by science-spokesmen like Kaku, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Brian Greene, is almost entirely a product of mathematical modeling which decades ago unmoored itself from any responsibility to make deductions based upon observed data coming from nature. And the universe they describe looks quite different from the universe with which we have come to be familiar.'

  2. as a general rule, if anyone is trying to offer an explanation of something complicated that involves "magnets" you can be pretty confident they are one step away from wearing a tin foil hat

  3. could be a good idea for a work though, to tell an allegorical style tale about neoliberalism by way of plasma cosmology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cosmology
