This is a university in Montreal, Canada.

"Even more than other sciences, physics is a white male dominated field and, thus, a mirror of colonial patterns and social inequality."

"We are engaging Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies for knowledge creation, we are studying colonial anchor points in the history of physics in the context of light, we are studying the views of scientists on colonialism, we’re investigating the discourse on contemporary largescale light experiments"

Our civilization tolerates this kind of pseudoscientific mumbo-jumbo at its own peril. It is not any better than Lysenkoism under Stalin and it will come crashing down one day. Unfortunately, that day may be the day we capitulate to China or other ruthless opponent that didn't eviscerate its own R & D with utter nonsense.
