This is a great piece on the problems with a data-based approach when the data is fundamentally flawed - but I am fascinated to know why this guy thinks *physicists* can find objective measures of human ageing instead of, uh, one of the multiple subfields of biology that studies ageing. 🧪
Saul Newman’s research suggests that we’re completely mistaken about how long humans live for.
My suspicion is that it’s because physicists are the only true scientists to a lot of people; biology and chemistry is just woke nonsense…
there is that quote, attributed to Rutherford rightly or wrongly "All Science Is Either Physics or Stamp Collecting" - which some physicists seem to take rather literally?
As we all know physicists are equipped to adjudicate all other scientific disciplines because they are just applied physics. xkcd.com/435/
