Now, this is just inaccurate.

You're stepping off on the slim part of the branch at this point and, frankly, I really had thought you knew better.
I don't know exactly what bitterness drove you to make such a post, but I should think you need to Check It.

I'm sure you are well aware that is not how science works and that science - as a concept- is about knowing what space is.

The conflicts only arise when people speculate wildly without any supporting evidence, supporting mathematics to demonstrate, or operating under assumptions, misguided thinking or misconceptions that we already know to be incorrect.

I thought you said Science doesn't want to know?

Utter nonsense. Very few people out there have their job security depending on what "space" is made out of. This outlandish claim doesn't match up with reality and can only be a figment of the bitterness I asked about a moment ago.
This is like Conspiracy Proposing: The scientists are lying in order to keep their jobs.
Sheesh Apparently you don't follow many scientific journals!

Again Noonan, I really thought you knew better. I'm disappointed.

Good luck, cheers
Perhaps some of your proposals are what didn't hold water.
