Hmm, who do believe, the nigh-consensus of pretty much all physicists, or.... hector on the Fediverse?

I mean, one has literally millions of scientists and decades, if not centuries of established, peer-reviewed literature... and the other is a random stranger online who believes Charlie Kirk wasn't shot for being a massive right-wing cunt, but "as the first victim of the war on Iran."

Geez, that's a tough one. Couldn't possibly decide which way I'm leaning.

I don't give a fuck what you think. But I trust that the experts do not have all the answers which has never been wrong up until this point in time. But no you're the smart one here.

Compared to you? Yes, I am.

If I had 1€ for everytime some cognitively limited champ says "well the scientists don't know everything", I'd have enough to buy a sufficient quantity of alcohol to forget I ever heard such bs.

That's the core of science. Knowing you don't know everything. If at any point someone in fact says they know everything, they've gone from a scientist to a religious lunatic.

No-one gives a fuck what you think. That's why we read CERN and not your comments when we wish to stay informed on what's going on in physics.
