Lex, you really should get Sabine on your Podcast!

[michaelkaminski]

You should have Sabine on the show, she is the most 100% no-bullshit physicists out there

[javiersoto]

I love watching Sabines video. She's extremely bright and gives great explanations.

[saldogdave]

What the hell is he even saying? I call bullshit because I don’t think he read the book.

[Piipolinoo]

Incoherent rambling without getting any point across.

Please have Sabine Hossenfelder, she is amazing!

[fabiankempazo]

I wrote under a Twitter Post of her that she should come to your Podcast and she liked it. Now someone has to do the first step 😁

[good-questions]

With respect, I find Hossenfelder’s takes more quizzical than skeptical. We should be as skeptical as possible about science. But to make lambasting ideas a quirky brand as opposed to trying to “figure it out” is just not interesting to me.

[guidoftp]

Lex should make a tour in Europe. So many great scientists there.

[orri]

@Lex have you talked to Sabine? If not please consider getting her on your program.

[alxsmac]

"Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations" is a great book

[blengi]

Lex should do a musical duet with Sabine. I've seen her Monty Python cover and wasn't too bad. She even manages a Bjork like growl in there somewhere lol. Given Lex always wears his MIB get up, he will be on the same page fashion wise if her vid is indicative. Could do Pink Floyd's Time with bad ass solo using the the Hedgehog as a plectrum, to follow up that comfortably numb thing, . And could have Rogan cameoing in the back ground as a DMT tripping timelord from Dr Who, who is getting way too sweaty with an enthusiastic Dalek dressed in a bikini....

[RazOfTheVoid]

kind of an unfair title considering she's not there to respond.

[arctic_haze]

I am a big fan of Sabine while right now reading a book by Peter. So their "clash of ideas" seems interesting to this old physicist.
PS. It does not seem to me that they are very far from each other in their views.

[shaunrene]

Lex my man don't worry about Sabine you need to figure out what you doing with your hair, its looking kind of CRAZY right now!

[TheHexCube]

Lex, please get Sabine on your podcast, man - I love your channel; been listening for days on end, can't get enough!

[mactorresmo]

Peter Woit is a real hero of theoretical physics. He spoke the truth and challenged the status quo.

[changesettings]

Please have Sabine on the podcast or at least try. She is a great science educator and an amazing person.

[beardedroofer]

Sabine is one of the smartest people on the planet, so it behooves us to listen to her.

[UncleBildo]

Sabine, gotta love her presentations.

[DeadEndFrog]

i fail to see a substancial disagreement here..
