I mean, yes, there are a few physicists who have turned into science popularizers, but they&#x27;re no longer at the forefront of scientific research (e.g., Michio Kaku, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene).<p>I do quantum chemistry research.  Do you recognize any of the names: Colbeck, Renner, Alavi, Booth, Kohn, Sherrill, Gill, or Pople?  Colbeck and Renner are about as philosophical as you&#x27;re going to get for scientists who currently perform actual research (Tegmark and Baez are in categories of their own).
