[verum ago]

I heard this theory about probability decades ago. It’s an old theory.

As the article itself notes, it's over 50 years old, and still the leading theory.

A US audience might not know, but the 'scientist' in question is an Aussie who is one of those guys who started out as an actual scientist, but for decades now has made a career publishing books (almost 50) and making media appearances, and very little else. He's a "science communicator".

He's one of those media talking-head "experts" who hasn't done any actual scientific work in decades. And like virtually all of them, he's full of folksy, down-to-earth anecdotes of utterly questionable veracity, completely lacking in proof, that always happen to paint him in a good light...

“science communicator”
I have noticed on several of the Documentary TV channels which are no longer documentary but show UFOS ghosts BOOGER MEN, Yeti and other such nonsense use these so called science communicators. One is an editor for a Magazine and seems to get really excited about what he “sees”. “WOW! What is that thing!”
I learned decades ago if you aRe going to have a TV show about anything weird you better show something weird EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO FAKE IT.
