Most infuriatingly of all, these people (and I use the term loosely) don't even appear to have read to the bottom of the articles about which they're frothing.

Or they may have read the whole thing but failed to understand it.

I can forgive people having a hard time understanding this stuff, I have a hard time understanding a lot of it myself. But at least I try.

And I'm in awe of the people who do understand all this stuff and who are advancing our knowledge of the fundamentals of existence. Without these people, we'd all be crouching in caves picking insects off each other. Maybe some people would prefer that, but I'm too attached to my LCD TV and my Blu-Ray player to scoff at the benefits of particle physics.

Yay for the scientists. The world needs more of them and less "flat earth" idiots.
