A bit late but after NLs recent discussion with chat about physics/gravity/theories I thought this video of a physicist talking about the problems with string theory while playing Isaac was fitting

I'm not gonna put myself out there that much in responding to the subject matter, because I very much am a layman, but I do think the video author here is not placing enough blame at the feet of the public's seeming inability to differentiate between a pop sci article and published research that is (in theory, at least :/ ) reproduceable.

What really made this hilarious for me was the person in the reddit comment section being very confident that they were only pretending to play Isaac while they were actually reading off a script and faking the reactions. Takes me back to the youtube conspiracy theory comments that NL had premade runs for his wins, time is a flat circle it seems.
A theory with no supporting evidence and even if somehow proven, with no practical implications?
How droll.
