Where's the pushback? Where's the confrontation of the lies? Who is taking him to task on this and forcing him to provide proof or even evidence?

Mr. President, this is downtown Portland right now. There are no fires.

Easy. Bam! Why does nobody do this?

The Fourth Estate is failing.

It might even prove the existence of interstellar life!

500 million years after the Big Bang. Goodness me that's so close to T0!

Dark stars. Yeah. Ridiculous.

It suggests the mechanism is more than theoretical metaphor.

Much like "please do not fire at the thermonuclear weapons" was great advice...

...please do not try experiments that may create a potentially universe ending vacuum state to determine if such a state will indeed destroy the universe.

Laboratory simulations have even demonstrated analogues of this process. In a recent quantum spin chain experiment, researchers observed how a metastable state decays through the spontaneous formation of bubbles, a miniature model of cosmic vacuum decay.
