Vera Rubin, Pioneering Astronomer Who Confirmed Existence of Dark Matter, Dies At 88 (www.cbc.ca)
Mikkeles quotes a report from CBC.ca: Vera Rubin, a pioneering astronomer who helped find powerful evidence of dark matter, has died, her son said Monday. She was 88. Vera Rubin found that galaxies don't quite rotate the way they were predicted, and that lent support to the theory that some other force was at work, namely dark matter. Rubin's scientific achievements earned her numerous awards and honors, including a National Medal of Science presented by then-president Bill Clinton in 1993 "for her pioneering research programs in observational cosmology." She also became the second female astronomer to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
When a scientist trusts a theory so much that he stops considering any desagreing theory, he stops being a scientist and becomes a believer.
. When the above happens to a large group of scientists, they become a religion.
When that large group of scientists start perusing other scientists for having diverging theories, ideas, opinions, It becomes an inquisition.
It is ok for you to explain why EmDrive should not work or the mistakes made in EmDrive experiments that would compromise the results.
It is NOT OK fo you to call them "not real scientists".
Doing it the true disgrace here.
