Sabine Hossenfelder

Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder is a Researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), where she explores foundational questions in physics. She holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Frankfurt (2003) and has conducted research across particle physics, quantum gravity, dark matter, and quantum foundations. Her current work focuses on superdeterminism and locality in quantum mechanics, challenging conventional assumptions about Bell’s theorem and finetuning. Dr. Hossenfelder is also a prominent science communicator, hosting the YouTube channel “Science without the Gobbledygook” and authoring books like *Lost in Math* (2018) and *Existential Physics* (2022), which critique biases in theoretical physics and explore the philosophical dimensions of science.

Her research interests include the mathematical and philosophical underpinnings of quantum mechanics, with recent emphasis on experimental tests of superdeterminism and its implications for locality. She has also contributed to astrophysics studies, such as analyzing dark matter profiles in galaxies using superfluid models. Through her writing and media work, she advocates for scientific rigor and skepticism of unfalsifiable theories.
