@PhysInHistory The reason why she was selected over much more suitable/better trained female fellow-contestants was her political affiliation. And her views have not changed by today. Just to give some context.
@skdh Confused reader here :( According to the equivalence principle you cannot tell apart gravity from acceleration. And since free fall is “undetectable”, I thought that in general relativity acceleration is undetectable aka relative too. Where is the problem with my reasoning?
@skdh If E is not proportional to m^2, then where is the energy e.g. from annihilation coming from? It’s only 3.1. and 2023 is already ruining all my beliefs 😅
@DanielWhiteson I love the podcast as it is but I agree that sometimes there are cases, especially when the topic is super interesting to me, where I think the content would deserve a bit more time. And I bothered to write this just because I have so much to thank you for.
@DudeDarkmatter @skdh Many science communicators should learn from this article how to communicate things about DM vs. MOND. Today each tribe is mostly cherry picking facts about their favourite theory.
