I have appeared on Brian's podcast and now return the favor. We talk about his work probing the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, as well as his efforts to communicate about science.
What’s bewildering about Dr Keating is his unwavering public support for Geometric Unity, a “theory of everything” put forth by a master charlatan, riddled with mathematical errors and with the caveat that it is “a work of entertainment”. His refusal to engage with the only technical critique of that work, by Timothy Nguyen, is also perplexing.
Rant aside, I’ll be listening to this episode :). Thank you as always, professor, and I apologize for the rant.

Yep the recreation of the ship in a bottle operator is a sore subject with Eric.
In Brian’s defense he did try to pushback on this point but Eric took a hard stand and shut the conversation down.
I enjoyed your post. I didn’t think it was a rant at all.
I found it to be very honest.
Excellent!
as well as his efforts to communicate about science...hilarious
