"Physicist Leaves Particle Physics and Authors ‘Lost in Math’" is an article by David de Hilster published on 19 February 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
De Hilster takes up Sabine Hossenfelder's departure from particle physics and her book Lost in Math, quoting her January 2019 New York Times piece: ten years in, the Large Hadron Collider had failed to deliver the discoveries its scientists had promised. He reads the case as significant precisely because the criticism comes from inside — a working physicist with a promising career leaving the field and explaining why.
