Whoops
Red – do you think there is there ANY chance you might be wrong? That it’s not a giant conspiracy?
Conspiracy has nothing to do with it. The co-ordinating mechanism across science is not an agreement between corrupt scientists, but money that is expressly conditional on finding a problem. No government and almost no companies are interested in funding research that demonstrates there is no problem. Demonstrably so. And any that do are pilloried.
That means all the good, well meaning people who have a theory that finds or explains a problem get money, and $billions of it, and all the good, well meaning people who have a theory that don’t get very little. At no stage do you have conspiracy, you have selection bias among (and largely out of sight of) the well-meaning.
