      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.
