Some people hate the taste of cheese. Others cannot eat it. So when dealing with a large population of billions, people will not agree on all things. Mostly you would be lucky to get th r m to agree on anything at all. Such is human diversity.

[@MrVillabolo]

Concerning fraud in scientific papers, isn't the peer review process active?

[@seriousmaran9414]

@MrVillabolo it is when you look closely at the peer review process you really start questioning if the whole thing is working properly. There are huge issues the most obvious is that the research is assessed only for it being plausible. In many areas there are so few researchers that they know each other, or they have to pull in people to review who do not know the specific area. Researchers want to conduct research, not peer review others' papers. Away from the top journals even that drops off. You can pay to have an article published, no questions asked. Sabine Hossenfelder has produced some interesting views on this but no, peer review fails, often badly. Check up on what happened to the LHC first data release papers, over 500 of them, many peer reviewed, all proved garbage when the second set of data was released. The blip in the original data vanished, a statistical ghost. Same happened with the first JWST images, red shifts that were badly calibrated presented as proof of galaxies being far older than they were.

By and large, people still trust the scientific method. It's the humans doing the science that people have become skeptical of, and rightfully so now that science has merely become a tool to push agendas instead of a search for truth and facts.

It was interesting that he mentioned the Claudine Gay situation as it relates to the distrust of science. It was even more interesting how he described it as being "politically motivated". The attacks on Claudine Gay were politically motivated *because* Claudine Gay is politically motivated. Claudine Gay and her ilk have nothing to do with science but much to do with academia where science lives. The only political angle that should motivate science is that it should remain as free from external political pressures as possible. It should be allowed to investigate and learn for its own sake. If Paul and other scientists don't confront the political motivations currently driving the academy, science will be killed, gutted and worn as a skin suit by the Claudine Gays of the world. You could argue that it's already happened not only to science but to the rest of our institutions. Things are bleak all over.

Artificial Intelligence was used in Nazca at the famous Nazca Lines to identify undiscovered monuments (more lines) that were from a prior culture. The artificial intelligence was used to sift the huge data set and identify matches that the human eye could not see. Very cool use of AI and also helped solve the mystery of what the lines were used for and who made them and when. Spoiler it wasn't ancient aliens. Very cool story I believe PBS has the full video. Just mentioning because training the AI is a big part of the story. We may need to literally send AI on a machine into the void and let it train itself out there because we can't just rely on models forever.

curious if temprature variations in the microwave background are due to some directions being slightly more or red shifted than others or the number of photons/brightness from different directions - it never seems to get mentioned. how much of the variation is due to being diverted by gravitational lensing from passing close to galaxies and their associated dark matter - the hubble deep field shows how almost every direction you can look contains something that would lense light passing through. if theres a possibility thet dark matter might be clumpy would it be possible use the CMBR to either map dark matter clumps arround the milky way rule out its clumpyness?

[@JungleJargon]

I have an exciting old theory that is now an observation. There is no need to modify gravity. Less gravity accelerates time and inflates distance both of which accelerate causation making everything happen faster including lightspeed while maintaining the speed of light 186,000 miles per second. The concept is so simple at least for mechanically minded people. If you change the size of a cubit, you will change the size of the house that you build with it. If instead of driving 60 kilometers an hour you drive 60 miles an hour, you will increase your speed because you increased the distance that you traveled in an hour. Then if you change from 60 miles an hour to 60 miles in half an hour, you increased your speed again because you traveled 60 miles in a faster time. General relativity is no longer a theory, it is an observation. Distance expands with less gravity and time speeds up with less gravity effectively making everything faster including light without breaking the speed of light. A deeper understanding of gravity gives you a deeper understanding of the universe. The earth is flat locally the same as the speed of light is the same locally but not on a larger scale. The earth is round on larger scales and the speed of light depends on the measures of time and distance which change depending on the amount of gravity in the surrounding area. This means that distant starlight arrives instantaneously from distant galaxies which aren’t as far away as they appear to us to be with our measures of time and distance and the time is also passing by at a much faster rate since there’s no matter between us and distant galaxies to slow down time or shorten distance according to general relativity which is now an observation and not just a theory. …and the converse of things approaching a black hole look stopped to us because of how slow they are moving. The changes in time and distance compound the changes in the speed of light as observed from our frame of reference. Do a thought experiment. Hold your hands a foot apart representing 186,000 miles saying “one thousand and one” representing one second while pretending to see an imaginary photon going from one hand to the other. Now expand the distance saying “one thousand and one” as fast as you can. You should notice that the speed of the imaginary photon increases the more distance expands and the more time speeds up just same as the farther away from the center of the galaxy it is. The opposite is also true. Someone moving in the direction of a black hole will seem to us to be stopped. *If you change the size of a cubit you will change the size of the house that you build with it.*

I glanced through the comments prior to listening. I wondered what I was letting myself in for. I enjoyed the cosmology talk very much. The woke stuff I just listened to and ignored. Paul is an interesting talker on the science that he knows about. Less so about other things, unless he has decades spent in experimental gene therapies like a long list of doctors I will not mention here. I would like to hear more about the voids and how the more you look closely the more see - it sounds very much like the human immune system in that respect. Anyhow, the cosmology and AI talk was very enjoyable. I especially liked it when John led Paul on to talk about dark energy & dark matter. I will listen to it again. I do hope that Paul returns to tell us more. I am biting my tongue now. No, not going to say anything. Lips firmly being bitten now. LOL! Thanks both.

Here is a little education for the apparently unaware: the word "woke" is a term with a, very clearly, ironic and sarcastic undertone. Otherwise, the term you would use to describe a person who has an acceptable code of ethics would be something like "normal" or "good" or "moral" etc. Another good term is "altruistic." Paul Sutter has some fantastic things, but on the topic of a certain experimental medical interventions, he has very little to no formal education on. In this way, his "wokeness" is transformed into a gatekeeper of all science, even though his specialty is less focused on evolutionary biology or viral pathology, for instance, and more centered on physics and astronomy. Ironic, coming from a guy trying to rescue science: he is one of the many perpetuating the mistrust! Now Im gonna quote a guy who the people confused about the term "woke" have probably never heard of - Thomas Sowell - "Talking about subjects that are beyond your expertise is like walking off the edge of a cliff."

[@AnarchoCatBoyEthan]

that’s a horrible fact, who says that is a fact? Maybe specially in poor american public schools, but that’s because of standardized curriculums and not enough resources either in training or teachers themselves. Ideally your curiosity in a prospering democracy is always being encouraged. That’s not just a fact overall, and specially for some kids from very orthodox/restricted household’s curiosity is outright punished and school is the first time they can embrace curiosity without fear. Anyway, I do like your idea and agree scientists need to listen to layman sometimes. I’m not sure of a program to do so though, as most scientists have friends and families that they talk to about their work so they get plenty of non-expert opinions from them. Still it’d be a fun kind of science outreach program, but kind of seems like it would likely end up as a Q and E event, you know?

[@Dogtroll]

To be perfectly honest, I'm assuming that I must be wrong because it just seems to me that the answer to the question of what is dark matter and dark energy are simple and obvious. If you discover that there is a part of matter that gives matter it's energetic properties then doesn't it stand to reason that there could also be a part of matter that gives matter it's spatial properties. So what happens when matter falls into a black hole and get stripped apart into its most basic parts? Maybe the energetic part falls into the black hole because it can, but the spatial part of matter can't fall into a black hole simply because of the fact that it can't fit into an infinitely small space. So you wind up having dark energy being the energetic part of matter trapped inside a black hole and having the spatial part of matter existing as clouds of an inert substance surrounding black holes. This might also help to explain the differential between a black holes mass and the mass of its surrounding solar system. It may be a measurement of the difference of the disembodied energetic part of matters ability to effect the space around it versus intact matters ability to effect the space around it.

Yeah it’s not science “haters” that are the problem. It’s the fact that absurdity is being pushed to the forefront and labeled as science and major institutions are the ones doing it.

The talk about the shots at 31:30 is baffling to me

[@MartinKuras]

I stopped listening at that point. And for the first time, i might add.

[@mmaximk]

Yes, quite perplexing.

[@walkingcarpet420]

​ @MartinKuras Yeah it is glaringly obvious that someone can be super knowledgeable in one subject, and painfully oblivious in others. Most scientists that talk about politics end up making themselves come off as clowns. Perfect examples are Sam Harris and NDT. Used to be a fan of them until their 🤡🌎💩 politics surfaced

[@n8ture690]

To me it sounded like relatively benign commentary about science denial did I miss something? I have not listened to the whole thing after I started I clicked your time stamp so just a heads up I am definitely missing some context.

[@therockinboxer]

Hes hoping for another round of funding for his research of nothing. He probably thinks we come from nothing, and will return to nothing. And yet we have a cosmic tension for some reason. But also, trust science. Anyone who drums on about "the science" is just looking out for their own careers. Probably hopes to have a TV special

Fraudulence sneaks its way into anything but its roots tend to be similar as how piracy works. the enviroment we nurture supports the behaivior displayed. Creating reasons not to pirate or practice fraud are huge goals easly undermined but we gotta try. Good discussion as per usual.

The first half was great, though, admittedly, I sort of turned out around the book promotion. A difficult area to segue away from.

His contrasting of the efficacy of vaccines and the existence of man made global warming to the moon landing or flat Earth are not valid comparisons - regardless of how “sophisticated, educated and scientific” he believes himself to be.

[@TheTyTyXD]

Fucking heck John.. Looking at the comments on this one is rough.

[@mak529]

As a Biologist, I suggest the physicist to stay in his lane. Total TDS. Must have never read Popper? Is this guy really a "scientist"?

[@ianwebb9859]

I think what Paul is trying to talk about is the biases that impact us all and make us less compassionate and which obviously impact individuals who are scientists too. So he's trying to admit and examine his own biases on the air. And of course when someone airs their own biases in public it's going to offend the people. His vaccine example is more useful as a reflection of his own bias, rather than as him trying to make a claim as a scientist about vaccine efficacy. And, while hearing him discuss his own biases made me cringe, that is a reflection of the problem that he's attempting to deal with in his book. So, I say good job Paul!

[@ianwebb9859]

Although, when Paul says that his book is not directed at the people who "hate" science, that to me reflects such a huge bias that I questioned how effective his book can be at changing the minds of his fellow scientists. It appears that he doesn't quite understand the problem even with his insights...

[@30035XD]

And then this clown wonders why all the "stupid people" don't trust "the science" blindly anymore, and how to make them. Give me a break. I dropped the video right there and then.

[@hydrorecords]

Enjoyed this greatly until it went political about denying "science" and "vaccine" "efficacy". How ironic.

[@OrneryMouse]

That's exactly where I stopped the video and why I'm here in the mud making comments. Funny, I was having a hard time getting passed his arrogant tone and a bunch of silly things he said, then he drops that stinker. I'm out.

[@manw3bttcks]

pysics (2:11) must be easier than physics

[@t.c.2776]

The answer is NO!!... there are multiple "theories", i.e., "SPECULATIONS" about everything we "think" could be possible... and like 200 years after Newton and the apple story, we've finally accepted the idea WE HAVE NO IDEA what Gravity IS or isn't... and most of our cosmic "speculations" are based on our understanding of gravity, which we no longer understand... 🤔

[@valentinmalinov8424]

If our "Best" theories in the last 100 years cannot explain what Space is, what Time is. What Electricity is, what Energy is, what Energy Field is... an on...and on... that means that these theories ate Wrong and their claims that 96% of matter in the Universe is invisible also is False! - If you like, can find the answer in the book - "Theory of Everything in Physics and The Universe"

[@sasqetshenkley1190]

Keegan-Michael Key's best sketch yet!

[@terrylyn]

21:20 I somewhat disagree with the guest. Humans absolutely process words in the same way as AI does, intelligence is just a complex word processor and intelligence and thoughts are emergent from that process (there is no free will). He is right that AI does not know what dark matter is, but that's not because the AI neural networks are somehow inferior to neural networks in human brains, it's because the AI has no senses to see or make observations of the universe; it only has the written papers we give to it as sources. One could also argue that humans neither do not know what water *actually* is, despite we have done all these experiments and figured out the molecular structure down to quarks and strings, that's the exact same thing, I have never seen or felt H20 molecule or dark matter, I have only read about them and constructed a mental model inside my head how they fit into this puzzle called knowledge. AI does the same, it constructs the model out of the data it gets, just as human scientists do. If you feed it garbage, you get garbage model. That's why scientific method in human knowledge has been so important, to filter out garbage.

[@rubensilva_]

Noam Chomsky has argued that we humans are fundamentally incapable of understanding all these vexing mysteries of consciousness and the Universe. We might just have to be happy with these discoveries that we get from time to time-that are exciting enough- but still we are in the dark about the origins of being, life, and consciousness.

[@xXxTeenSplayer]

Yeah, that's one of the things he was definitely wrong about. Along with claiming that language cannot be learned 🤣

[@TheSCPStudio]

@@xXxTeenSplayeryou literally have no fucking basis for your pointless conjecture. You’re not all omnipotent, you don’t know shit. I’m sure you’re wiping the Cheeto dust off your fingers to type furiously back at me even. Just shut the fuck up lmao Just so you know, language IS INCREDIBLY hard to learn from an outsider perspective. What, you think aliens are just gonna have English classes? Rosetta Stone? If you go to another planet with all different types of flora, fauna and natural compositions, it will be so hard to learn the language that developed from that. Go watch the movie Arrival and then realize that they only managed to learn THAT language because it’s a movie and the plot required it. They still made sure to show how damn difficult it is. So get over yourself. You’re a small piece of nothing in a bigger nothing and you KNOW nothing.

[@TheSCPStudio]

That’s something I think about a lot. Evolution causes a being to develop based on it’s immediate surroundings. Humans didn’t evolve in space and thus there are most likely a large amount of natural phenomena were completely oblivious to. I mean there are already spectrums of light that we simply can’t see because that type of light isn’t visible on Earth and only from certain cosmic anomalies. Who’s to say there aren’t things we simply were not made to comprehend? Our brains can barely handle the idea of infinity. Hell, most people can’t handle a working memory of longer than 1 year. Yet people expect that we’ll be able to comprehend the cosmic time scale?

[@wizarddragon]

@@xXxTeenSplayer definitely wrong about what exactly?

[@xXxTeenSplayer]

@@wizarddragon Wrong about what I was responding to, of course. What do you mean? Chomsky said that humans are incapable of understanding (language being one specifically). He was wrong. We know how to make computers learn languages, something he still contends is impossible.

an absolute nothing that is localized and exists in the universe (or anywhere) is impossible, and has not (cannot) been proven to exist. ho hum. i have a more funny ultimate irony (joke on us) of the universe. Cant quite put my finger on how it would work but, that part should be discoverable, hopefully. The universe is pre-determined, and therefore somehow resists full discovery, as that would eventually lead to changing a pre-determined universe. The entire complexity could be borne from this most fundamental simple underlying mechanic/law.
