I don't normally criticise other YouTube presenters, but since Sabine Hossenfelder is generally a good scientific education resource, I felt I had to point o...
Physics is the absolute worst with this, too. When I was doing my postdoc in a climate lab, by far the greatest amount of pushback against climate science as a discipline (at least internally) came from the physics department. They sometimes think that since physics is in some sense the “most fundamental” science, they have a right to pontificate on anything else since everything is, at bottom, a physical system. Combined with the fact that they deal with mathematically sophisticated but frequently highly idealized or constrained models–and thus are skeptical of complexity in general–this sometimes gives them the attitude that they can pick up any other discipline and do it better than genuine experts. It’s a pretty pervasive problem.
