I haven't found anything calling this crank science, although it does make some rather sweeping claims. One is that dark matter does not exist, and another is that the universe is 27 billion years old.

I don't know that scientists gaslit anyone. I think it's more the state of journalism driven by the way it is monetized. Chasing SEO drives clickbait headlines and sensational claims to the top of everyone's feed.

I really appreciate the discussion on Lemmy.

Oh with mainstream science I meant the journalism, probably bad wording.
