- Who do you rate as the most accurate in communicating science, in particular physics?
Was watching a Sean Carroll video and his answers to some questions seemed to run counter to the norm.
For example at 1:15:30 in the video, he seems to be saying that we'd see only a (hypothetical?) 'test particle' get stuck at the event horizon of a black hole.
Also at 1:17:19 in the video, he claims that Einstein wouldn't have added in the cosmological constant into general relativity if he had known the universe is expanding, implying that wouldn't have been necessary to add in. Which sounds strange because that addition seems so crucial to everything about vacuum energy and whatnot.
Hopefully while replying you won't be concerned about Sean Carroll seeing your reply if you contradict his claim.![Grinning face with smiling eyes :smile: 😄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
Anyway, inaccuracy adds big hurdles to understanding physics, at least in my case. So a list of the most accurate science communicators would be helpful.
For the record, I still perceive of Sean Carroll as being highly accurate in most of the video, but that's a feeling based off of my limited knowledge. Surely, you know better than I do about his level of accuracy.
I'm asking specifically about the accuracy of science communicators. Who do you rate as most accurate?
