You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

An ultra-high-energy neutrino spotted by a detector in the Mediterranean Sea could be the result of an exploding black hole.
This is a highly speculative interpretation--but exactly the kind of far-out exploration made possible by new neutrino experiments. 🧪🔭

New asteroid grain trading cards created by JAXA curation! @futuremeetings.bsky.social submitted the suggestion for the “collaboration” card, under the code name, Celery Penn! The grain resembles holding hands, with text “we are always stronger when we work together, even when we’re worlds apart”.
