      What does sketch means in this context? I am not a native English speaker

        It means Musk has no idea what he’s talking about but wants people to think he’s investigating “deep mysteries of the universe”. So he applied a negative/critical term sketch, a.k.a. sketchy, meaning “something’s not quite right about ____” so he could offer nothing to the world as usual but run his mouth.

        Questionable/suspicious/false. He’s saying he doesn’t believe in the news piece, or at least not fully believe.

        imo, he’s just trying to look smart by questioning researchers in an ambiguous manner.

      I fucking love Dr Collier.

      She must be such a pain is the ass for so many self-proclaimed geniuses.

      The casual tone of her videos makes everything.

    I would really like to find out more about this new research, though I don’t really have the knowledge to figure out how it all works. Hoping Dr. Becky will weigh in at some point!

      My meagre understanding : we estimate the age of the universe by factoring some observables like the light and radiation we get from the universe’s past, with constants like the speed of light. This new research proposes a model where one of those constants evolves over time, which would significantly alter the final result. It is called the coupling constant but I don’t know enough to explain more 😬

      Yep, the whole world changed when he delivered fully autonomous, self-driving cars on time in 2018, just like he said he would.

      It’s real, but disputed. But actual scientists are behind the theory.

      It’s one of those “this paper just released and hasn’t been peer reviewed and lots of scientists doubt the vilidity, but we’ll post as if it’s now fact anyway” articles.
