The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. It doesn’t give a rat’s ass how your five senses interact with this world. […] We have competent people thinking about this stuff. We’re not just making shit up. One paper is not what makes a scientific truth. It has to be verified by competing groups, people that design experiments differently. Only if all of these results point to the same direction can we then say this person made a discovery. If somebody published a paper that the Earth was flat, would you say, in the last 30 years, no one has written a paper to refute that result. Would you invoke that as evidence that the Earth was really flat, or would you invoke it as evidence that the person has his head up his ass and didn’t do it right?
