1. It was a joke. Ayh thought that was obvious. :/ You get it right? If its not carbonated .. its flat water? Flat Earth? Eh? C'mon buddy.

2. You triggered me on the second sentence --> "most mainstream science does not claim to know the answer"

My friend.. if any thing has radicalized me more in the last 10 years it has been the repetition that theories are now asserted as fact and communicated like faith to students. Journals now print hypothesis in excess over experimental research. People like Neil Tyson and Susan Hossenfender (sp?) and Physics Girl (die already) are celebrities but they are book and word of mouth trendy non-critical idiots. People like Hawking are celebrated yet he never proved a single thing -- not one -- and even lost most of his wagers about theories. YouTube channels with 15M subs and 5M views per video regurgitate the most invalidated of theories with absolute certainty.

Young people do not have a chance to be hyper critical of theories bcz they do not recognize them as theories. The biggest one for me is some thing ayh have worked on for decades with others in that the Standard Model (ie particle physics) is absolute wrong. It remains a theory and is consistently upended by discrepancies in modeling. So instead of tearing it down and better examining the field that envelops said "particles" they simply add next particle. Bear in mind that physics is the goal of understanding the simple mechanisms of all things in nature and yet now we have 17 particles that make up the Standard Model with 3 more suggested -- this does not include double that when adding Quantum Mechanics b/s.

The rebranding lies of science has pissed me off and ayh want the whole field undone so fresh perspectives can once again have access.
