Job opening to work on actual science instead of hand-wavy, platform nine and three quarters, oompa-loompa dark matter magic.

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

    I think it's a tenure thing: if your job is to work on dark matter or string theory, that's what pays your bills. Someone come up with something that may take money from you and "He's an idiot!" because.

    Einstein was called a quack too, for a while, until they decide his theory WAS better.

    But Science! See the big S? Established doctrine or bust!

    I kid, little science is great, big Science is the domain of those who are just raging against organized religion ;)
