      1/ Hi #SocialScience twitter, Has anyone studied this phenomenon? @AstroKatie is the first physicist I've seen whose had it in her FAQs. But, it's a common enough complaint that I've heard it from other physicists, and I'm not one.https://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/995064657713901568 …

      As a general reminder: do not send me your personal theories of the Universe. I will not read them. http://www.astrokatie.com/faq#theory  And please don’t endlessly tweet them at my followers either.

      2/ Being more explicit, has anyone studied what compels someone (esp. a non-scientist) to submit their armchair hypothesis to a physicist, anticipating that "they may have cracked the code."

      3/ I think physics is the most interesting example because the discipline -- currently and historically -- exists on the cutting edge of mathematical methods; physicists are intensely-trained; and, their explananda (generally) afford experimentation.

      4/ So, the idea of a paradigm shifting outsider seems especially improbable. But, (informal) submissions occur with enough regularity to be a nuisance. And, while interesting to study, I think it says a lot, generally, about the obstacles to communicating social science research.

          5/ We social scientists -- quantitative or otherwise -- are not afforded much in the way of clean experiments. Social systems are tangled, often inextricably. But, because people live within this system, it's a short hop to assuming generalizable knowledge.

          6/ Armchair psychology, sociology, economics, political science, and anthropology is everywhere. Of course, given the complexity and limitations, maybe an outsider does have a better (albeit not high) chance of path-breaking in these disciplines compared to physics.

          7/ But, I think it demonstrates why social #scicomm is so paradoxically challenging. Extensive subjective experiences gives rise to lots of local realities, making it easy to reject discordant ones. After all, people come up with back-of-napkin alternatives to dark matter.

          On Twitter & in person I often find it difficult to communicate the results or implications of social sciences. The biggest obstacles I find are interestedness, misconceptions, familiarity bias, scientism, category delineation, epistemology & ontology. Success varies on these.
