In ‪@acollierastro‬ video "a physicist responds: physics has done very little for like 70 years"    • a physicist responds: physics has don...   she answers the claims that progress in theoretical and fudamental physics has stalled since 1973 because no new development has been verified by reffering to the progress in experimental and applied physics.

In ‪@acollierastro‬ video "physics crackpots: a 'theory'"    • physics crackpots: a 'theory'   she mentions that "it is much more common for big papers with big results to have many people on them" in a video about crackpots in theoretical physics (almost all crackpot physics is done within theoretical physics).

We quote ‪@SabineHossenfelder‬ and Eric Weinstein about the stagnation in theoretical physics.

Since the development of QCD in the 70s, there has been almost no significant contributions to theoretical physics which have been proved by experiments. This matches a shift in the way of doing physics, in which research is now done in groups rather than by individuals. Could this be the reason for the crisis in theoretical physics?

We show that almost all progress in the history of theoretical physics has been done by single-author papers, and not by groups of researchers.
