The big physics lie? I’ve been going down the Dark Matter/Dark Energy rabbit hole—there’s no proof, just a theory to which patches a gap in physics.
Mike McCulloch joined the pod to discuss this and his theory of quantised inertia

Didn’t expect this
A hypothesis is not a lie.
have Eric Weinstein on the show.
String Theory is fiat science!
Heh, any theory in physics without bitcoin is fiat. Few truly understand how bitcoin completes the 3 laws of thermodynamics.
It’s cringe to say Bitcoin fixes physics without providing proof; but it does.
The liar is whoever told you they are theories. Physicists don't tell such bs.
Actually physicists are always looking for gaps on theories; searching for something that doesn't fit.
That's what provokes critical thinking and makes new proposals appear.

I’m 36 mins into this, and have two prevailing thoughts:
1. The idea of Dark Matter being worked out by the difference needed to make an equation work, is more common than we would think, e.g. it is exactly how economists work out ‘velocity of money’ too lol.
2. I bet he doesn’t know what an XPUB is 😂
Seems like a super smart dude though. Will be interesting to see where it all goes!
Disclaimer: I haven't watched the podcast. And maybe I'm being pedantic. But that's how science works: a theory is the best model that we have to explain what we observe and some things on the edges don't match the model. Until a new and improved theory, explains things more accurately and better. And scientists apply a method (which might still fail on occasions) to review each other's work and accept or not a theory. That isn't lying. But then again nobody believes in science or the scientific method these days because we are desilusioned that science didn't fix all problems. That's called "post modernism".
