It perfectly describes my reaction when I had enough breathing room to look into the current state my favorite sciences, physics and anthropology, a decade or so ago.<br /><br />In physics, I was appalled to find that stuff was being made up to make the math work out. That's fine as a hypothesis, but the articles I was reading did not make that clear (and hence, thoroughly Liralenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675133437955499435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-39557980573589420732018-06-11T07:56:50.379-04:002018-06-11T07:56:50.379-04:00Sabine, I totally agree with you.

In engineering it is compulsory to be in a club. If you think differently , then you are shown the door. Is it due to neoliberalism of university research that club mentality has taken over?
