Stroll has no problem he likes to lie and misrepresent science and scientists.
I recognized the quote as I have linked to it many times the last 4 years.

David Gross of UC Santa Barbara says, "Science has managed to explain lots of other weird numbersâso why shouldn't we expect eventually to explain the cosmological constant and other key parameters?"
David is entirely correct in one respect. The views that I have expressed are far from rigorous scientific facts. The observational evidence for a cosmological constant, for inflation, and the mathematical evidence for a string theory landscape could all evaporate. So far they show no signs of doing so, but surprises happen. It is certainly premature to declare victory and close the question. I would be very worried if all theoretical physicists "gave up" (as David puts it) looking for a mathematical explanation for the "weird" value of the cosmological constant. But I think David exaggerates when he claims that science has explained anything like the fine-tuning of the cosmological constant.

In short in 2010 there was still a concern that perhaps they might still find a theory of everything... or the testing at cern would show something knew.
However, the extreme fine tuning of the Cosmological Constant was virtually proven when they used the standard model of physics to find the Higgs Boson at Cern about a year ago.
Its funny cause the troll just lies his ass off, over and over.
Why? Is it because he is a 1950s thinking backwards ass atheist... who can no admit there is evidence of a Tuner?
