I can't wait for someone to write the same about the Big Bang model, which must be right because it's the only cosmology we have.

This Week’s Hype

Natalie Wolchover at Quanta has an article about a campaign by string theorists to argue that we have to accept string theory as our theory of fundamental physics even though there is no evidence f…

Not Even Wrong
@redshiftdrift But one which - in stark contrast to string theory - makes numerous predictions. Which have been tested and found correct - remember 2013 when Planck bored us with a CBR power spectrum that was exactly as expected? It's only the various large and small tensions - and that we still have no clue what DM and DE are :-) - that keeps cosmologists awake at night

@cosmos4u @redshiftdrift

In my studies Dm and De are "not" necessary when you equate pressure with mass. Once you open your mind up to the idea of knowing we walk through atoms everywhere. Yet no one calls them "invisible". We just simply cannot "see" that with the naked eye. Now take "space" diffuse at 1.4 trillionths of a pascal spaced out at ppm cubic squared. Then, the idea of invisible "anything" becomes humorous. Because then you realize how "one-sided" the standard model is.
