An interstellar visitor who disguises their spaceship as (checks notes...) a comet visible from half a billion miles away, which then shows obvious - yet oddly primitive - technosignatures to everyone watching it.

Antivaxxers should be gathering together as often as possible, preferably in rooms with poor ventilation

It's entirely possible they did lie, knowing full well that what they were publishing was false.

Very foolish if so, of course. And expensive.

Without proof of that intent though, Press Gazette can only say MEN got it wrong. Otherwise they could be sued as well.

If you really do believe the earth is flat though, then you are not lying. You're just wrong.

Lying requires knowledge of the falsehood, an intent to deceive.

Mens rea (state of mind) is a fundamental legal principle. And none of us are mind readers.

No proof? Then don't assume. Journalism 101

Depends on state of mind. They could have been just careless, wrong, stupid, believed a misleading report, video clip or photo, etc. To call it a lie requires proof that they *knew*.

This headline is, quite correctly, not accusing someone without such proof.

A lesson the MEN has just learned too

Cool. How were you notified of the freebie?

Hi Ethan, a Q: in the classic twin paradox, where one goes gallivanting at relativistic speeds and returns to an older sibling, how would this work if both were just floating in the void and unable to tell which sibling had actually moved? They'd both see the other shoot off and return later
