Did he yell "They LAUGHED at me at Heidelberg! They said I was mad. MAD!"?
It is a very fundamental shift, though. The whole "Dark Energy/Matter" hypothesis has always seemed to me, to be a bit of a "Here, there be dragonnes" kind of thing, but I am nowhere near the level of these folks, so I have always assumed they know a lot that I don't.
- kulahan 1y agoIt is, but that’s also kinda the point. It’s just a variable to stand in for “whatever tf mass we’ve been missing this whole time” or what-have-you.
- tekla 1y agoI've never really gotten this criticism. Science has worked on "here be dragons" ever since it became a "thing". Neutrinos took like 40 years to discover after experiments earlier showed that either all of modern particle physics was wrong, or there was something that we couldn't see.
- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoIt wasn't a criticism. At least, not from me. It was just an observation.
