/sci/ - Science & Math

Science is objectively wrong. It is the worst of all religions, and even evil at this point. This is a hill worth dying on.

Your graves will be pissed on.

This. There are plausible alternatives to the Big Bang, even ones that are phenomenologically indistinguishable. But modern physics is about politics and bandwagons, not about exploring possibilities; lots of mediocre physicists climbing over each other so they can be the first to agree with whatever is popular right now; all desperately trying to recover their long-lost sense of dignity. Anyone with an ounce of self-respect will become jaded and leave academia after graduating. Meanwhile, affirmative action, corporate funding, and the integration of poorly educated foreigners requires academic standards to slide ever-lower over time, and nowadays graduate students are effectively used as slave-labor for outsourced corporate R&D. But then you wouldn't know any of this by looking from the outside because the system does such a great job of portraying science in America as being in a perpetual Golden Age.
