List of elementary, settled facts, Physics edition:

> Nature is inherently continuous. Discrete theories or theories based on cellular automata-like or pixel-like concepts are blatant pseudoscience.
> Nature is inherently stochastic/probabilistic/random. Deterministic theories are demonstrably false. Probabilities is all that we can predict, and this is not just due to our lack of knowledge or precision, but it is fundamental.
> Nature is inherently local. No faster than light transfer of information or any other effects is possible.
> Nature is inherently non-realist. We cannot speak meaningfully of the definiteness of the results of measurements that have not been performed. An observer (not to be conflated with conscious beings) is a basic requirement in quantum mechanics.
> "Interpretations of quantum mechanics" are overwhelmingly pseudoscience. But as much as some of them can be said to be correct, it is Copenhagen or it's upgrade, Consistent (Decoherent) Histories.
> String Theory is very likely the correct general approach for the theory of high energy quantum gravity, and also other forces, otherwise known as the Theory of Everything.
> Cosmic Inflation is likely the actual mechanism behind The Big Bang.

Some of these statements may seem controversial to laymen or even some subpar physicists. They are not controversial among actually competent researchers at all.

Thank you for listening.

I'll just take your word for it, then.

I know very little physics, but a lot of this I realized on my own with the help of psychedelic substances.

cosmology is part of astronomy, not physics. some jackass playing with batteries and pendulums in a lab knows nothing about astronomy or cosmology.

> Nature is inherently continuous.

Wrong.

> Nature is inherently stochastic/probabilistic/random. Deterministic theories are demonstrably false. Probabilities is all that we can predict, and this is not just due to our lack of knowledge or precision, but it is fundamental.

Probably wrong. Nature probably only seems stochastic because we don't know all its workings.

> Nature is inherently local.

Nope. Locality is known to break down in the vicinity of blackholes, and probably at the quantum level too.

> Nature is inherently non-realist.

Mysticism.

> "Interpretations of quantum mechanics" are overwhelmingly pseudoscience.

Nope. We simply don't know yet what the equations of quantum theory physically mean.

> String Theory is very likely the correct general approach for the theory of high energy quantum gravity, and also other forces, otherwise known as the Theory of Everything.

Trolling?

> Cosmic Inflation is likely the actual mechanism behind The Big Bang.

Very little evidence the inflaton field existed and the hole model is ad-hoc and crude.
