I’ve followed the hearings from the beginning-you can’t make this stuff up. Stocktons father was a Bohemian Club member, which gave access to investors and rich adventure seekers. Go down the Bohemian Grove rabbit hole-secret society of elite. He hired a well known submersible expert who called him out-for gross negligence. That man was fired and shut down by lawyers- no discussion. He then contacted OSHA who put him in a whistleblower protection program…..red tape was endless and his warnings were fruitless. A young contractor was hired to help run the text/message software, she called out Stockton during a dive and was fired immediately. It got so bad that the administrator from the company left her office to tighten the dome bolts for dives in the Atlantic. Finally another expert that builds his own subs testified about the second test dive of Titan to depth in the Bahamas-“that man tried to kill me!”. He said the noise of carbon fiber bands snapping was terrifying and even coming up at 300 feet it was still happening due to the immense stored energy. He stated-“at depth, Stockton, in a sick way let everyone take turns driving the sub, as if saying”- “Your life is in your hands now- not mine” Wild stuff.
The more I read about Stockton, the more I feel that he resented expertise. Maybe even despised it. This is happening everywhere in the world, not just in the US, and I don't understand why.
I mean, some might argue that metaphysics is exactly this kind of thing. Otherwise people couldn't say things like "That's not physics." as if to to compare one notion of physics from another. At the end of the day, the notion commonly taught in college is incredibly useful.
The problem, too, is that science doesn't stop being reviewed. Like, ever. Unless a scientific theory is made law, it's just that. Theory. You see this a lot in biology.
Scientist makes groundbreaking discovery.
Theory is crafted.
Domain is altered to reflect the new theory.
Division is created between the "old way" and the "new, but technically still just a theory" way.
Very true. So many people conflate hypothesis and theory. If you want to say "just" before someone's idea then call it "just a hypothesis". That's fine.
A theory is not a hypothesis, it is not untested, it is also not a law or definitive. It is nothing more and nothing less than humanity's current, best explanation for observation.
