    This was a cool scientific controversy reminiscent of the "airplane on a conveyor belt" from a few years back, though I think significantly more complex.

    Oh right, you don't believe in real science. You only believe in MAGA science. Which means everything is false unless told to you by your Messiah: DJT.
