Science news off the beaten path

Hope you find these as interesting as I did.


Boundaries in scientific knowledge have never been advanced by committees. It's always been individuals advancing ideas that ran counter to the scientific dogmas or doctrines of the day. Though for many, their papers are never properly vetted ot just outright thrown out of committtee because many scientific and medical peer review boards have agendas that seek to protect the status quo. Just as educational systems have been captured so too have review boards. Sanity needs to be restored to both.


Fascinating How much grokipedia has advanced in such a short time. Use it for all your information needs as it is decidely neutral even in contentous topics. Whereas "Wokepedia", I say woke instead of wikipedia because that's exactly the way Larry Sanger, (co-creator of wikipedia) refers to them, contending that since 2020 most editors are young and lean heavily to the left and routinely squash dissenting views. Do your own comparisons and judge for yourself.


Show this video to everyone that screams fossil fuels are a scarce resource. It's sure to elicit some stammering but science is constantly evolving, so we need to keep up.


The main problem the hubble telescope has uncovered is that the universe is expanding faster than predicted by the standard Big Bang model. This implies the universe appears "further along" in its expansion timeline than expected, pointing to potential new physics rather than the universe being older or younger overall. As of September 2025, the tension remains unresolved and is increasingly seen as a crisis in cosmology.
