    “Investigation takes time” They have been “investigating” for a decade. It’s simply spy vs spy & that's it. If that sounds skeptical, fine. Nothing wrong with with skepticism. It’s…

    Haha! “Nobody can spy unless it’s us.” Touché! (Best uttered while spying on the world through a prism.)

    Their reputation notwithstanding, it makes little difference if all they are doing is taking notes or passing along statements, rather than digging & getting answers. That’s the fo…

    All is vagueness. It’s popular! Why bother with evidence when agencies / governments / media can simply make vague statements about threats & security? Oh & of course we can’t supp…

    Here’s an article from Rob Sheldon, who worked on ROSETTA. He is less timid than Ekeberg: https://uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/rob-sheldon-t...

    Sorry but I’d have to disagree: There are plenty of people working on cosmologies that don’t include the Big Bang, or that do include it but only as one facet of a larger theoretic…

    All said and done, the current state of cosmology (whether one falls in with mainstream theories or not) is a mess. It has so many addendums, codicils & caveats that one has to be …

    Sorry but that’s an intellectual dodge. A verbal fiddle. Saying it is a “name for something” doesn’t make the fact that it’s a hypothesis disappear. One is simply positing the need…

    @astro123 Sorry my comment uploaded before I was done. It is an error to state that there is evidence for dark matter. There is no evidence for it other than that as a hypothesis i…

    @astro123 There’s a tautology in your critique. You’re attempting to suggest that there is evidence for dark matter. There isn’t. Dark matter is a theory, one that has not yet prod…
