Last summer, Nature conducted a survey asking physicists about some quantum hot takes. That venture revealed significantly disparate interpretations of core concepts among scientists, 100 years after the emergence of modern quantum mechanics. Well, around a similar time, the American Physical Society (APS) invited researchers and science enthusiasts to chime in on 10 broad questions on major concepts—of arguable contention—in physics as a whole. In a statement yesterday, APS published the results, along with an e-print and an interactive dashboard . The survey drew in around 1,660 people, 20% of whom identified as “science enthusiasts.” The rest were scientists studying gravity (10%), astrophysics (12%), particle physics (18%), or another discipline (30%). This makes the survey one of the largest ever conducted in physics, APS claims. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the responses were all over the place. The only exception was the very first question on the definition of the Big Bang.…
