    What makes you think there aren’t modern physicists who are also philosophical?

    As someone with a physics degree, I can say that there physicists have, do, and always will include people who focus only on the math and science and others who incorporate philosophy into their values and world view.

      Yeah, people from all walks of life live with the burden of unfettered curiosity. Such people are typically drawn to fields like physics but many will also find interest in philosophy and humanities and everything really. There’s just so much to know about so many things

      Celeb physicists maybe? Like pop culture famous. Frankly though um if you’re anyone else have any articles or something as an example to support your point or fit that theme/vibe, I’d actually just be really interested in reading something from that point of view! To be very clear, I have no horses in this race I’m not challenging you.
