To evaluate the validity of those facts, whom can I ask for advice? Because, I cannot afford years of study in physics to understand and assess the relevance of those facts to graduate school.
Besides that, when we talk about facts, why is that I cannot find any solid scientific sources to those claims in that article?

But you would not know whether to believe them any more than you know whether to believe the author of this article. > when we talk about facts, why is that I cannot find any solid scientific sources to those claims in that article? Where have you looked?
- dschuetz 8y agoI looked for footnotes, haven't found any, besides some other blogspot links and an aeon article. The title is misleading, there are little to none sources, the whole thing smells like an opinion and pop-science. I might not be a physicist, but I'm not lacking competency in reading.
- pdonis 8y ago> I looked for footnotes, haven't found any It's a blog post, not a scientific paper, and the statements it makes are very general, of the sort you will find somewhere in many textbooks, but not in one specific place that can be referenced. What you're asking for is kind of like asking for a specific footnote for the definition of a prime number in a blog post about number theory. If what you are looking for is a quick way to know whether what the article says is true without having to take any time to actually study science, there isn't one. There is no royal road to learning.
