You are completely dismissing the scientific method. Your unwavering belief in their expertise (so called) and star trek probes is what has you convinced that the white lab coat people are not wrong, and not pandering to their higher authority.

Who is their higher authority? If you ever attended a University, you should know. Want funding? Get your work with their variable values signed off on. That's how easy it is. Want us to license you or give you a fancy Certificate? Regurgitate what our books say. Easy.

Once you start doing actual research and using values in the equation that are facts, then you can reach the truth and know the laws of nature.

Belief is the enemy of knowing. You must use the scientific method.
