I work on small-scale experiments, a field that Sabine portrays as starved of funding because of string theory. But that&amp;#x27;s not at all how funding actually works. Generally, all of our boats rise or fall together.&lt;p&gt;String theory is so distant from my field that defunding it and expecting funding for me to rise is like defunding pharmacology and expecting an immediate revolution in palaeontology. Removing funding from one subfield doesn&amp;#x27;t move it to your favorite field, it just removes it from science in general.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Do We Need a Theory of Everything?</title><url>http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2020/07/do-we-need-theory-of-everything.html</url></story>
