Oh my gosh, the settled science isn’t settled? Who would have guessed a theory might just be a...well, theory.

I read the Metaxas biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I highly recommend it.

“One of the craziest things over these last few crazy years has been watching physics at both ends (subatomic and cosmological) completely fall apart”

??The Standard Model is more robust and confirmed than ever.

The physics hasn’t fallen apart. The injection of junk science has totally corrupted the integrity of physics.

If a man is alone in the woods, and his wife isn’t around to hear him, is he still wrong?

LOL

Even if he's wrong, his life is peaceful.

Exactly. But there are measurements/theories that indicate each possibility. So clearly there are some fundamental things that are not understood. The biggest IMO is "what is black matter?" One big problem is that, as humans, we only have a blip in time to measure movement.

If you make things up, you can always make something up to make it the fault of your political enemy.

Any group that relies on “matter” that cannot be detected except by it’s gravitational effect to make it’s theories work is not a group that can be taken seriously. Especially a group that celebrates the opening of its biggest project with some strange Hindu ceremony.

"You are a fluke of the Universe You have no right to be here And whether you can hear it or not The Universe is laughing behind your back"

Come on...This is simple if you understand that the universe is nothing more that an illusion. One only perceives that it exists at all.

If you take the current physics model of the atom and try to use it in the chem department, it doesn’t work. And vice versa. Both models have a lot of workability. But both ultimately are false.

Um, no. Follow evidence to form the most logical conclusion based on what we know so far.

It’s not just made up.

In a universe as big as ours, some objects are coming at us in our direction and some are going away from us in the opposite direction.

Objects within galaxies would be doing both, as the spinning galaxy would have half it’s mass, figuratively speaking, coming at us and half spinning away from us.

Gravity Waves add another factor.

If a Gravity Wave passes between us and the object, Space would then expand and contract as the wave passes, which might take a million years. The Red Shift would then shrink then expand accordingly.

I think there is more we don’t know than what we do..........................

We have had thousands of years of scientific advancements and if we think we are done we are just kidding ourselves.
