String Theory, "It from (Qu)bit", etc. have been putting out a large amount of B.S. for many years now, and the hype itself became so common that, to compete with other B.S. the hype has now become over-the-top blatant nonsense.
Many fields of science these days suffer from dishonest and attention seeking researchers and professors, overhyping their results on media, fudging experiments etc.
We need to make science actively painful (cut all funding, regularly jail them, condemn them to obscurity, make sure no one wants to date them etc.) so it only attracts people in it for the right reasons :)
