Given cosmology deals with timescales in the billions of years, I highly doubt anybody is in panic mode.

Nobody likes to see their pet theories gored.

They have spent their entire careers and billions of dollars on studying, promoting, and protecting ideas that are obviously wrong at this point. Their egos are so fragile that they still will continue doing whatever they can to resist the coming paradigm shift by writing hit pieces against anyone who seriously explores the implications of latest JWST findings, and by coming up with ever more far fetched hypotheses to save the LCDM model, like they have done before by making up the concepts of dark matter, dark energy, inflation, and so on.

Yeah, the dark stuff really seems like a kludge.

Pretending that the Big Bang theory is in any way beloved or that every institutional power in existence wouldn't be delighted to throw it in the trash isn't just silly, it's delusional. It demonstrates a complete lack of historical understanding and a very basic unfamiliarity with the field.

I've been listening to physicists argue for decades. None of this is revolutionary or threatening. It's commonplace.

The big bang theory is very clearly touted as an unassailable truth by the academic establishment. To pretend like this is not the case must require an insane level of mental gymnastics.

We have reached the point where we are told by academia that 96% of the universe consists of “dark” stuff that has never been detected (despite billions spent trying) and is impossible to observe or explain. The only “evidence” in favor of these ideas is the fact the fact that if this invisible stuff (the existence of which we have absolute no evidence for) doesn’t exist, then that would mean LCDM is wrong. The sheer level of wildly speculative and blatantly non scientific reasoning that has been employed to prop up the big bang is absolutely staggering, there is no denying it.

Dude, whatever your objections to the BBT, the parallel you're trying to draw to the medical establishment isn't there. Sir Roger Penrose is one of the most highly-regarded men in this field, and if Sean Carroll and Jennifer Chen lack one thing, it's not publicity. There is no effort to censor any of them, penalize them in any way, drum them out of polite society, or deny them funding, or strip them of their posts. It just doesn't exist.

I've never even seen someone try to claim otherwise.

What if your thesis for your PhD was based on the big bang as a given?

What if your thesis for your PhD was based on the big bang as a given?

Well, assuming that the PhD was awarded due to hard work and advancement of the science as it was known at the time, that hard work and that advancement was still done, even if the science that was known at the time is later proven to be wrong.

TL;DR: Y'all leave my Master's Degree in Phrenology alone!

Why would that matter? It's not like the degree would be revoked. If a fundamental premise of my dissertation were called into question much later, I'd read the new material with great interest.

    Couldn't agree more. This is one of the reasons I'm not reflexively hostile to every transhumanist impulse. We have too much data available, and no comprehension of the necessary correlates. At one point in history it was possible for a single human being to understand a significant percentage of the sum of human knowledge. That isn't a remotely realistic goal anymore, not even if we lived as long as Methuselah. Therefore the next era must be ushered in by a revolution in communication or AI. I'd prefer the former, despite my fondness for Asimov.

    Dude she's a poet with postnominals who just found out unanswered physics questions still exist, you have to take her seriously. She's like Galileo!*

    She’s just doing a presentation on the subject. The people primarily responsible for the alternative science paradigm this channel revolves around include the astronomer Halton Arp, nobel prize winning physicist Hannes Alfvén, Wal Thornhill and numerous other plasma physicists.

    The astrophysics and cosmology establishments are much like the medical establishment. Lots of the people who are challenging it most intelligently come from outside of the establishment, people who have not been indoctrinated by the system, like RFK Jr, who is not a doctor or scientist but a lawyer.

    Here’s a video with a primer on the alternative model of Plasma Cosmology. It’s really interesting and a lot more scientific than LCDM I’d say https://youtu.be/WoNaVb7b-tg

    LOL - I stand corrected. Her PhD in poetry obviously trumps my layman's understanding of the stars and planets. I hereby dub her, Gali-lameo!

    It's funny, but I couldn't figure out what her doctorate is in. I tried to look, but apart from a reference to McGill...

    I can guess what is isn't in, though. (Apart from the obvious, cosmology and astrophysics.) No philosopher would misuse "begs the question" like that.
