That's part of the problem. It's amazingly deep and requires non-trivial time to explore. Those within their fields who speak out are generally destroyed. When they do get a paper published they have to be very careful in what they say. In some cases they are forced to walk back their position even though their position is 100% supported by the evidence.

This is a good channel. Even if you disagree with their theory they are doing what many scientists refuse to do - practice science and the scientific method.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-0JzSjDAQE

That video begins to address both physics and astronomy.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnwAUVNhU0s

That video touches upon weather and climate as it relates to physics, science, space, and electricity. Gerald Pollack is well respected and has been doing decades of research on something as simple as water. His research is rather interesting. Only recently has been more broadly connected to other areas of research. But those connections require looking back in time. Which forces an evaluation upon forks in science which most refuse to even consider. Simply because doing so endangers their current funding or area of expertise.

As for archeology, did you know that the geologic record (hard science) directly contradicts many timelines offered by archeologists? Did you know that careers have been destroyed in this field by simply publishing papers as supported by radiocarbon dating? Their only crime was offering science which did not tow the party line. Such timelines are completely supported by the geologic record, in addition to other fields of science. Did you know that it appears society was reset roughly 12,000 year ago? There is overwhelming evidence this is the case. Again, completely substantiated by the geologic record. See The Younger Dryas impact event.

Again, if you're not wiling to look around with an open mind you'll never see what's actually been going on.

How about Climatology? Did you know there is an established record of fraud within this field? You would never know it if you listened to mainstream. Yet it is well documented.

It's really not difficult to find academic fraud by those who control mainstream. But for the laymen you have to spend considerable time to research for yourself. And for the professional, it's career suicide to not tow the line. For example, hundreds of contrary climate papers have been rejected or slow walked over the last decade. In an environment of publish or perish, what do you think that means?

If this appears weak, understand I'm not going to spend hours and hours collecting information for you. Especially for an off chance you might actually review the material. You can, however, jump in for yourself and see where it takes you. You'll quickly find there is a large body of evidence which completely contradicts what is widely believed to be true in many areas of science. This is especially true in the soft sciences, such was archeology.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I was more expecting a few authors whose published work was poorly received because they did not toe the party line. Or something along the lines of wattsupwiththat.

However, in looking at the mars rover 'mystery' video, something I have a pretty good understanding of--- unlike archaeology, they are substantially overselling the mysteriousness of it. The video states that NASA "fails to consider any new theoretical possibilities." Why would they? The video itself covers a few of the entirely reasonable and understood factors that could work individually, or together, to provide the observed result. That is, the rover has lasted much longer than anticipated because the solar panels have managed to stay sufficiently clean. IMO, NASA doesn't say it was X, because the data they have doesn't conclusively prove it. However, they have a pretty darn good idea about what caused the panels to stay clean and that is good enough. When you have a simple explanation, that fits easily within the realm of reality, why would you go creating possibilities that require new physics, or something unbelievable.

Pollack's work seems interesting and reasonable from what I am able to skim from a few of his published papers. I think you are onto something when you say *snip because doing so endangers their current funding or area of expertise. This is true to some degree in my experience. In submitting a paper you can suggest to the editor a few names of researchers that you would like to review the paper. It is somewhat a game because you should choose someone who can actually understand your assertions while also not a competitor for grant money. These sorts of politics are a reason I can't stand academia, and am leaving. Never mind the whole "publish or perish" mentality and telling a story versus doing real science. The funding rates are exceedingly low and unless you are well known you have to play ball and do sensationalist sexy science to even get funding. It doesn't lead to good work.

The sensationalism associated with 'mysteries' and 'they're hiding things you' falls into the same camp as sexy science. And both are bad for good science.

Thank you for putting together your post. I expected a list of author's whose work has been difficult to publish due to a 'difference' in opinion from the consensus. Or something like I work in the solar industry. Professionally I have to be very careful what I say with regards to climate.
