Last week was a gathering of physicists in Oxford to discuss string theory and the philosophy of science.
From the article:
That the Bayesian view is news to so many physicists is itself news to me, and it's very unsettling news. You could say that modern theoretical physics has failed to be in-touch with other areas of science, but you could also make the argument that the rationalist community has failed to properly reach out and communicate with scientists.
What gets me more is the guy who was complaining that the atomic theory is left in the same framework with 1-epsilon probability.
No, this is not a problem.
