That's is a problem, because there can be scientific papers that can argue topics one way or another. It comes down the moderators own opinions on what they believe and will allow.

As I said earlier, Science is the new Religion in that it cannot be questioned, as the great majority of us cannot prove otherwise - we don't have the education or 'respect' in the Scientific community. We just have to accept it as gospel and truth.

Scientists that do question official lines, risk their reputations and careers. Who is willing to do that? It stifles scientific debate and restricts progress and truth (but probably keeps the powerful in power, makes the rich richer and keeps the corrupt out of jail)

Galileo was tried and convicted for suggesting the earth moved around the sun!
Science is questioned every day. That is its very purpose, to keep on questioning everything.


Those discussions and arguments take place in journals and periodicals, not in short soundbites on ****ty social media sites.

Any "official lines" on science are those areas which have been peer reviewed and practised to the extent that they are truths.

Bert down the boozer saying the earth is flat cos he saw it on youtube isn't practising science. He's a misinformed arse.

Galileo wasn't tried and convicted by scientists with opposing views. He was tried by misinformed cultists who just happened to have power at that time.

Twitter used to be a laugh buy I never found it to be a place where much discussion/debate was ever happening. Now it's just packed with bots, wind-up merchants and people moaning about "woke" for whatever reason. As someone said above they quite like that randomness which can also be a laugh. I left it yonks ago, signed back on for a while then left again once Space Karen went full Goebbels.

This site has only survived in the way it has because it is heavily moderated. If bluesky or any other twitter clone loses its grip on moderation it will go the same way as it.
