#2"The issue is that physicists can’t accept the scientifically honest answer: We don’t know, and leave it at that."
This sentence jumped out for me. Is there some kind of crusade going on that I have missed the beginning of? This feels like a strange sentence in this piece and feels like a (misguided) attack.

Yes but you missed the beginning because the origin is almost as old as the age of enlightenment.

She's fantastic. She doesn't hesitate to call out the physics community on its idiosyncrasies. She is a necessary check and balance on the mainstream body of researchers.

The purpose of science is to try to understand the world. Even if we never can answer how the universe began, I hope we never give up trying.

#7What we do know is that the universe didn’t begin from nothing. It’s impossible for something to arise out of nothing, so there has always been something.
Nothingness is the space that holds everything.
From there it can be argued that the universe began with the adjacent possible of nothing.

She’s basically a check and balance on public perception of research, she isn’t a particularly influential physicist

#9or when it will end, despite university profs trying to justify their high salaries by confidently predicting exactly what will happen to the universe...no one knows, despite lying university blowhards telling us that they know everything
