Why has there been no progress in physics since 1973

The twentieth century was a truly exciting time in physics. From 1905 to 1973, we made extraordinary progress probing the mysteries of the universe: special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, the structure of the atom, the structure of the nucleus, enumerating the elementary particles. Then, in 1973, this extraordinary progress... stopped. I mean, where are the fundamental discoveries in the last 50 years equal to general relativity or quantum mechanics? Why has there been no progress in physics since 1973? For this high-budget, big-hair episode of The Last Theory, I flew all the way to Oxford to tell you why progress stopped, and why it’s set to start again: why progress in physics might be about to accelerate in the early twenty-first century in a way we haven’t seen since those heady days of the early twentieth century. — Eric Weinstein His claims that there has been no progress in physics since 1973: • BigThink • The Joe Rogan Experience Lord Kelvin ,_1st_Baron_Kelvin — Prefer to listen to the audio?
