It feels like this is implying that questioning is unscientific? I mean, I get being annoyed with laypeople but if you didn’t question the scientific consensus the historic record and the philosophy of science are against you.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoIt's more the level of confidence they seem to have in their take, given their relative lack of understanding of the subject.
- exmadscientist 4y agoFor me it's the fact that so many of these commenters seem to think they've come up with something special, found some secret idea. That's completely false. Most physicists aren't very happy with dark matter as a theory (especially since the failure of the big direct particle searches). So the commenters are trying to convince the professionals of something most of them already believe. It's silly. (My credentials: my fingerprints are all over one of those (pilot) experiments.)
