    Figure 1 in the paper helps contextualize the numbers better.

    I appreciate the scientists’ honesty. When asked about big G and time invariance, he says he just takes it on faith that it has been the same forever. If more people would admit their leaps I think the theistic schism would be far more shallow.

      It might also be nice if cosmologists stopped claiming their Big Bang "Theory" wasn't more accurately termed a mere Hypothesis. IIRC, 12 out of 13 predictions failing and necessitating "model" "tweaks" is not a fantastic track record for a Theory, which are supposed to robustly survive investigation.

    All this cash we're spending to ship humans and their gear into orbit and they can't build us an effing gravity experiment?

    Gee whiz. One wonders why so many scientifically ignorant people claim our space programs are all fake and gay boondongles for no purpose other than to extract money from the public treasury.

    Maybe stop making it so easy for them to conspiracy-theorize?
