Thanks for keeping the thread updated, BTW.
It's sort of a documntary only sidecar for the Ancient structures thread which has been going on a long time with lots of discussion, sometimes spirited but mostly tame and a few documentary videos. This thread, on the other hand, is a binge worthy compilation of videos showing what all we don't know. |

The person who complains most, and is the most critical of others has the most to hide.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. |

Sometimes they'll have the paper but mostly they don't even have the entire abstract. They're just trying to get memberships. They pull the keywords and first paragraph of abstract to get into search engines and snag hits. They sometimes have a full scientific paper, but usually only for a short time. The pre-press scientific paper sites have a lot more and better real information but not as tantalizing of search engine aggressiveness researchgate is obviously paying for just for traffic. Whenever you search a technical topic, there will be 5 researchgate (and alias sites redirecting to same company) articles in the first page, if not more. It's depressing how slanted they make the results based on paying for keywords. They want people to over pay to subscribe to their papers but they don't even offer a full free trial demo or anything that I can find worth it, especially when it's only 1 paper a month at most on average that I ever search for. I go through library for those and it's way cheaper (free) than buying a membership there. |
