Yes, I have a "terminal" degree from a decent school in a related field. As I've said, I'm very unimpressed with the vast majority of "research".

It's the uneducated and the "educated" who worship these grifters. It doesn't require an advanced degree to see through this. An advanced degree might even be an impediment.

Well given the ease with which you debunked the many decades of research by cern with but a simple lemmy comment spending time online is a detriment to society! You should be putting your generational mind to the grindstone producing counter papers!
