    I haven’t watched Sabine in ages. She has always been fringe… Often cringe.

    Science is sick. At least in America… Academia is dying. The amount of people that use AI to cheat is ridiculous. Brain rot was literally word of the year…

    People are getting stupider regardless of the subject matter. I think Korn wrote a song about that and how long ago was that?

      I really liked her quantum physics explainers, like the two slit experiment. I didn’t think she was fringe when she was teaching like this.

        Have you considered she’s farming for clicks and really doesn’t give a fuck?

        Look how she’s been attacked over the years even when she was doing videos that you all really liked I was never a fan but to each their own. Scientific method can take many facets. And that’s the wonderful thing about science is that scientists disagree with each other. But ultimately we should rely upon experimentation and predictive power and falsifiability to determine what is science and what is not.

          It’s obvious that’s what’s she’s doing. But i think she believes the lies at this point.

            I like Gareth from See The Pattern. I don’t agree with it everything that guy says. But that’s kind of the point he explores various theories and that’s fun. I can’t say whether they’re right or wrong and I really don’t care cuz it’s presented well and it’s entertaining.

                They both discuss cosmology among similar subjects on YouTube.

                  Cool. I tried to get into Space Time, but he doesn’t seem as invested in actually explaining vs just presenting a script.

                  Old Veritasium explainer videos are very good – for example the gravity and acceleration equivalence.

                  I don’t watch cosmology that much any more.

                    The space time guy is sooo prickly. He’s hard to listen to, because there’s very little supposition or hypotheticals in his voice. It’s like he’s talking about something that’s certainly as settled as solid concrete when we all know it’s much more fluffy.

                    Gareth talks about all sorts of physics beyond cosmology… He presented at that uh… What was it. It was this conference. I think DemystiCon. Eric Lerner was there…

                    Jim Keller actually had questions for Gareth. I was watching it … Jim Keller just appeared and I’m like damn… Really? He’s kind of a rock star in the semiconductor industry…

                    Anyway the talk was about how the big bang never happened. “Beyond the big bang.”

                    See the pattern talks about just basically alternatives to mainstream science and how mainstream science maybe is getting things wrong.
