This is a blog that takes the name of my magnum opus on scientific philosophy called "The Scientific Worldview." Reviewers have called it “revolutionary,” “exhilarating,” “magnificent,” “fascinating,” and even “a breathtaking synthesis of all understanding.” There is very little math in it, no religion, no politics, no psycho-babble, and no BS. It provides the first outline of the philosophical perspective that will develop during the last half of the Industrial-Social Revolution.

Astrophysicists Really Believe That Fantastic Stuff About the Big Bang Theory?
They apparently do, but not for nefarious reasons.

A question from Joe Lennon:
“Do
astrophysicists really have an agenda to poison the minds of others? I
wonder if they know that they are full of crap, and are just trying to
dumb down others, or are they truly ignorant of their misinformation. Do
they just want a world filled with others as stupid as they are, or do
they want a world full of dummies that they can manipulate?”
[GB: Joe:
I
don’t think that miseducation, regressive physics, cosmogony, religion,
and capitalism are conspiracies, as some folks seem to think. It just
so happens, however, that all those activities benefit certain people to
the detriment of other people. If you don’t believe that, just “follow
the money” and receive your edification. Aside from a comfortable
existence, “money” means prestige, famosity, and control over others and
the environment.
I
don’t know if the folks you mention have even a vague notion of whether
their propaganda is false or not, although I would imagine some of the
more cynical ones probably do. Some may have gradually recognized the
contradictions, but their careers depend on conforming, not challenging
regressive physics. Some of those become “reformists” after retiring,
although that generally means futilely trying to adapt relativity to
reality.
I
don’t suppose the philosophically naïve Einstein did anything more than
run the gamut with his religious assumptions, moving physics from the
real toward the imaginary. Theoretical physics, like the rest of
philosophy, was, and still is, not immune to the struggle between the
real and the imaginary. Because dreams and imaginings dominate the
consciousness of humanity, there has always been overwhelming support
for the imaginary.
For
example, the bending of starlight through the Sun’s atmosphere reported
in 1919 could be interpreted in two ways: 1) the realistic way: via
refraction or 2) the imaginary way: via Einstein’s imagined “curved
space-time.” Other “proofs” of relativity always follow the same
pattern. When the math doesn’t work out and the sanctity of c
is threatened, bring up imagined “time dilation” or “length
contraction” in your interpretation. More recently, the shock waves and
light waves both traveling at c
from colliding cosmic bodies are said to result from the compression
and decompression of perfectly empty space. Of course, the necessary
aether medium might be considered imaginary too, but at least that is
assumed to be a real something, not an imaginary nothing.
While
most folks accepting the imaginary stuff are not well educated,
cosmologists and physicists like Prof. Richard Feynman tend to be genius
types. Still, the real problem concerns beginning assumptions. If those
are incorrect, the subsequent analyses will be incorrect, which is
becoming ever more obvious with each new Webb photo. That is why I
emphasize the correction involving not the top down, but the bottom up —
the foundation for thought. Without holding steadfast to the Ten
Assumptions of Science, no paradigm change is possible in theoretical
physics and cosmology. This will be slow in coming, what with the Ten
Assumptions of Religion being favored by most folks, including the
physicists and politicians who dole out the research funds.]

Third party cookies filtering, in a browser setting, is the most common solution, overall - but your readers may have to search for other filter(s) that affect their use of Blogger / Google.
