Why do people think cosmology is a science? It's just a bunch of guys telling that their opinions are facts. Totally indistinguishable from philosophy.

It's pretty deep and useful, it'll be the base from which space stage ignition will start from.

But it's true. Is there any real evidence that everything is made of wibbly wobbly strings? Why does one cosmologist say that universe is expanding, and another says it isn't? And why do their explanations always sound like some eastern mysticism?

Shut the fuck up. Most scientist don't think the string theory is true. It's just a theoretical mathematical construct some guy had fun inventing and playing around it.
Noboidy actually says the world is made up of wibbly wobbly strings.

*universe
My bad

Don't pontificate on stuff you don'the know.
Read the Wikipedia page on string theory before being butt hurt in the comments.

my auntie studied cosmology at the community college and she can't find a job

Does it even matter if the construct has practical applications?

and it seems odd considering species originated in puddles of water when you think about it.

>one cosmologist say that universe is expanding, and another says it isn't

Who says it isn't?

Hint: it is

Fred Hoyle

It's funny how people mock neuroscience and psychology on this board, but seem to ignore the fact that cosmology isn't any better. There are no hypotheses that can be formed and no measurements to confirm anything. Only philosophical babbling and funny equations.

>no measurements
wrong

>died over a decade ago

The universe is expanding and we can measure it.

Studying cosmoloogy means that you have to stay in academia, if you want a job that matches your expertise.

>is there any real evidence that everything is made of wibbly wobbly strings?

Cosmology only concern itself with large scale objects such as black holes, galaxies, your mum.

measurements and calculations that are riddled with uncertainty to the point of being irrelevant

Cosmology worse than psychology, confirmed

Actually, the universe isn't expanding. Everything is shrinking.

>Why do people think cosmology is a science?
You can't even make experiments in cosmology. No science at all.

Show us some real measurements in the field of cosmology. Preferably ones with a control group.

I don't understand cosmology, therefore cosmology sucks.

sorry, we aren't counting rabbits, we are studying real stuff here
