And under socialism in the 20th century, science was an institution that only funds research that advances whatever narrative the hermetic powers-that-be decided to push and strengthen their grip on power, their obsession with secretiveness and projecting an image of infallibility.
Take the Soviet Union.
T.D. Lysenko and his crackpot food engineering ideas is one such glaring example. But boy oh boy could he talk a “toe the party line” game and suck up to Stalin.
Or how about how the kremlin rendered nearly one quarter of Kazakhstan uninhabitable due to their relentless nuclear testing. And they nearly did that for all of western Europe with Chernobyl.In the name of workers and science, we shall poison your land. Science for the workers’ paradise, rejoice, comrades!

Mirror technology timeline!
Chirality ‘n’ shit.A mirror’s primary surface - a metal like silver that has just one electron sticking out alone in the top atomic orbital, plus other free electrons sliding around the surface, I believe - absorbs photons, then re-emits new photons almost exactly like the ones that came in.

Then there’s things like:
“Passing through the magnetic field, exactly half the electrons went UP, and exactly half the electrons went DOWN”, and classical physics went out through the quantum window. - Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 1 month ago:

There’s a Monty Python sketch where someone handles a large glass container with a liquid that looked like rosé wine, no context provided.
Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.
It truly takes some twisted, fucked-up minds to find obscenity everywhere they look, projecting Satan onto everything around them, carrying Satan piggyback even into neutral zones.

It’s a movie about physics, with characters like Niels Bohr featured prominently, which just so happened to be made for general audiences and it was a hit, by a director whose other historical film was about Dunkirk.
Before these movies were made, the subjects were pretty much obscure to the mainstream Films like these are regarded as risky for large studios, and it’s widely acknowledged that Christopher Nolan is on the very short list of directors with the blessing to do absolutely whatever they want at large studio scale and budget and that is not part of a franchise. And by “very short list” I mean people like Stanley Kubrick.
The “mainstream” label on Oppenheimer is incidental, after the fact.

As a baseball history buff, for a long time my way of “counting sheep” in bed was:
5 baseball players whose last name begins with the letter “A”,
then “B”, “C”, etc.When after a few nights I worked my way up to “Z”, I started over, but with a twist:
5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played before 1950.Then when I made it to “Z”,
5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played after 1950. - Comment on Let me at 'em!! 1 month ago:
