Regarding the meta of physics posts on here. I'd just like to tell my feeling. Reading science related or physics related opinions of people on Reddit, I feel like most of them are lay people. They express their admiration of science, their surprise for new knowledge, etc. What they wrote indicates them being lay. Reading physics or science related opinions here on HN, I feel like I've fallen into a rabbit hole of personal crackpot ideas of pseudo-experts that are ubiquitous on the net. If this is cutting-edge science, why wouldn't we non-experts just be a bit more conservative with our words? (Alsolutely no offense to any real expert out there).
