Dr. Angela Collier plays the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and talks at length about what went wrong with string theory, and how that affected science communication.

"Science communication is hard so I'm going to play a game while explaining science, cuz that's not distracting at all."

It just wasn't for me and I lost interest after a few minutes

I always had doubts about scientific theories on atomic particles and space but they were theory for a reason. Theory is what the word means, it is based on many assumptions. Like the big bang is a theory, It leads scientist to explore it from multiple angles through validation and verification (because science is hard). They are never put out as a fact. So I don't even know what point she's trying to make.

Like gravity is a theory. Or germs are a theory.
