Idk if this has grown worse in recent years or if I’m only paying attention more.

Every single video about physics (especially relativity or quantum theory) has a deluge of ostensibly misunderstood geniuses who either know why Einstein/Newton/the science community are wrong, or try to look smart by “explaining” the video to others but doing a terrible job of it.

It’s starting to feel like the comments from the flat-earther pages I used to lurk in for entertainment. Except instead of people endlessly denying a round earth, they’re denying a constant speed of light, black holes, or whatever the fuck.

    Yeah I’m coming to the conclusion that the midwits are worse for misinformation than the conspiracy-brained. At least shit like “”the sun is actually a power plant for ancient aliens” is funny and obvious bullshit. The midwits know just enough to say things that sound right-ish but are horribly off practically.
