I don't even think it is a good idea to think about theoretical physics as the blogger does. Math doesn't require any probabilistic validation whatsoever. Biology needs lots of it because there are too many unknowns. Physics is much closer to math than to biology, and evaluating it like one does a biological experiment, to me, is perplexing. For 2 + 2 = 4, there doesn't seem to be any need for "bits of information." And even though the author is probably talking about hunches and intuition, the probability that a theoretical physics can go about his field thinking in hunches seems small enough... ok, maybe this statement required 27 bits of information? Maybe I am missing something. |
