"Unzicker's War on Particle Physics and the Standard Model" is an article by David de Hilster published on 3 January 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
De Hilster profiles Alexander Unzicker's campaign against the Standard Model, noting that Unzicker opens his lectures by inviting anyone uncomfortable with the subject to leave — and that some do. He takes the title of Unzicker's The Higgs Fake as leaving no doubt about the target, and argues the wider point that the gap between what physicists privately think and what science journalism reports is far larger than the public realises.
