>portals do not exist in mainstream physics. the closest analogue to them in general relativity is a wormhole, but a distant observer views a wormhole as spherical, not a flat circle shape. therefore, threads about portals resembling those in the Portal games are not science or math, and should be deleted by mods.
>however, mods on /sci/ simply are concerned with “curating” what they deem to be appropriate for threads on the board, as opposed to objectively enforcing the rules, despite the semantic clarity of what the rules represent. this leads to an inconsistent and subjective selection of what masquerades as “science and math”, when in reality it represents a cultural norm among a very small set (probably about 15 moderators) of people who have outsize influence on dictating this for a very large (100s of thousands) community of visitors to their site
>the perception that posters receive from this subjectively “curated” content thus gives the appearance of the objectivity, when in reality it represents a very skewed and biased view of what science represents. an example of this is the promulgation of threads that allow pseudoscience, posts by schizophrenics with little to no scientific content, and posts devoid of scientific content that are allowed by some allusion to science-related humor, while any posts that insinuate or even could be subjectively interpreted by moderators as having something to do with “science versus religion” are deleted, with accompanying bans to the original posters of such threads.
>the conclusions of the authors are that the mods are jesusfag shills that make /pol/ look tolerant, at 95% confidence level
