You have to be trained in physics to theorize about it. Thinking otherwise is the realm of the crackpot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11lPhMSulSU

I’m a quantum physicist and you wouldn’t believe how many people try and sell me on their theory that solves everything that is literally just an idea in their head and can’t even produce any quantitative predictions. The levels of self delusion that these people display is astounding and we need to mock it more openly imo

if i have a crackpot theory and i’d like a real physicist to look it over and am willing to pay for their time where would i find one? asking for a friend

Agreed. Those who confuse “astronomy” and “astrology” are confused.

What do you intend to achieve by mocking these people?

I love Dr. Collier's videos. Her method of story telling/video essay is extremely unconventional but very effective.

Me too bestie, I haven't taken physics since undergrad but I appreciate that it's a layer of understanding above popular science (that never covers any of the math) while remaining accessible.
