For a long time I've liked Horgan's book "The End Of Science", although you'll never meet a working scientist who thinks the book has any value. It's definitely true that people are writing more papers than they've ever had and there's nothing to stop that trend.…
John Horgan loves making these wild assertions even though he is not a trained scientist or mathematician. He once even published a book called the End of Science. In that book, Horgan said that scientists were no longer going to come up with revolutionary scientific theories like relativity and the theory of evolution. Safe to say, this guy has a reputation of…
As science historian John Horgan noted in The End of Science the parallel in physics is with academic humanities departments becoming mired in "irony" The End of (one type of) Physics, and the Rise of the Machines https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10680…
对上文的勘误/补充:作者是约翰·霍根(John Horgan,而不是 Morgan),书名是《科学的终结:在科学时代的黄昏直面知识的极限》(The End Of Science: Facing The Limits Of Knowledge In The Twilight Of The Scientific Age)。
Errata/Addendum to above: It is John Horgan (and not Morgan) and the book is "The End Of Science: Facing The Limits Of Knowledge In The Twilight Of The Scientific Age".
长期以来我一直很喜欢霍根的那本《科学的终结》,尽管你绝不可能碰到任何一个觉得这本书有价值的在职科学家。但大家写论文确实比以往任何时候都多,而且没有任何迹象能阻止这股趋势,这一点是毫无疑问的。……

约翰·霍根特别喜欢抛出这些狂妄的断言,哪怕他根本不是科班出身的科学家或数学家。他甚至曾经出过一本叫《科学的终结》的书。在那本书里,霍根声称科学家再也提不出像相对论和进化论那样具有革命性的科学理论了。可以说,这家伙的名声早就……

正如科学史学家约翰·霍根在《科学的终结》中所指出的那样,物理学界的类似现象就跟高校文科院系深陷“反讽”(irony)泥潭如出一辙:某种物理学的终结与机器的崛起 https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10680……
