I was banned from /r/space - for criticizing the magnetohydrodynamics. Because it is mostly pseudo-science. based on a special case that does really happen in nature. They create magnetic fields out of thin air. (I used friendlier words.)

I was banned from /r/askphysics - for explaining the Maxwell equations. You can explain them in different ways, with different levels of complexity.

I was banned from /r/philosophyOfScience - for discussion a very basic interpretation of quantum mechanics, invented by Max Planck.

Never went into /r/science and /r/askscience and such, because they are very Technocratic. Which means that you can not discuss anything that may conflict with the official consensus.

Addition:
Was banned from /r/lastStageCapitalism about agreeing that Billionaires should not influence the elections. Because I named Soros. Lol.

I got banned from /r/science for asserting that co2 as a greenhouse gas rests on unproven hypotheses - which is of course, a fact.

I got banned from /r/sciencenews (or something like that) for stating that the case for anthropogenic climate change is FAR from settled.

Have you dove into any of Randall Carlson's research? He has a whole lot of evidence complied of just how dynamic the earth's climate really is. It shows that the warming that we are seeing now is well within the normal that the earth is used to.

I usually don't look at the names of the scientists whose research I read, because I am much more interested in the facts, or lack thereof, in their research. But yes, I am very much aware that the Earth warms and cools quite a bit over the centuries, and quite a bit more over the millenia.

On any reddit site you will certainly be banned if you state openly that you believe Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity may be false, whatever your reasons. You will be accused of being an antisemite, a flat-earther, a science denier, a fool, an ignoramus etc. etc. etc. This includes physics sites, mathematics sites, chemistry sites, philosophy sites, history sites, science fiction sites, fantasy sites etc. etc. etc. This, despite the fact that the discovery of Dark Matter indicates that 90% of the matter in the universe is totally invisible, so, we have no need whatsoever for space and time to be related in order to explain why light acts like a waveform in a vacuum, which is the primary rationale for Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Dark Matter is the elusive "aether" in the vacuum of space, the material that controls the speed of light waves in space. Basically, the entire scientific and academic communities are terrified of the fact that they really have no idea what's going on in the Universe, at all, so they're going to stick to Einstein and Relativity, at all costs! Even a lousy theory is better than no theory, at all!
