Nobody has ever proven that modern academia demands verifiable proof, while Neils Bohr famously shouted, "Shut Up and Calculate", and lobbied congress and the physics community, insisting they must censor themselves. When it comes to academics, and the lawyers and politicians they teach, don't listen to a fucking word they say, pay attention to the bottom fucking line, which is weapons, the single largest manufactured export in the world.
Either you gets a joke or you don't, and modern science is a joke, destroying the entire planet, while insisting science is not a laughing matter.
