The show / book series Three Body Problem (In remembrance of earths past) starts with a chain of murdered and suicided intellectuals. You later find out this is a result of a superior species trying to postpone human scientific advancements for its own ends. I doubt this is the case here but I cant help but connect the dots and assume someone doesnt want scientific progress to happen in nuclear and astronomical research

Yeah, they made a hit show a couple years ago (I didn't watch it, nor read the books, just saying). Chris Liss was speculating maybe there has been some covert advancements in physics, in contrast to the apparent stalling out of the field with aimless things like String Theory (his words, not mine), and these murders are some type of attempted cover up. It's out there, but I can't deny it's got a little appeal to me.
