- jacquesm 3y agoIf your gizmo requires new physics then you are just as pathological as the flat earthers are absent any solid evidence. The whole thing is positioned as an 'us vs them' affair and the automatic insulation that leads to creates a near perfect echo chamber with people cheering each other on to go against the grain no matter how ridiculous the reasoning is. It's a perversion of science and I think 'pathological science' perfectly fits the bill. Note that wishful thinking is a very strong component in pathological science and explicitly mentioned on that wikipedia page. This very much sits in line with my experience with 'the fringe' when they're trying to get funded for yet another decade of inevitable failure.
