Which field has it the worst when it comes to pseudoscience or non-scientist conspiracy theorists? Physics with the electric universe theory and flat earth? Biology with the evolution deniers and anti-vaxers? Engineers and 9/11 conspiracies? Is any field safe? How do we fix this?

Make it illegal and punishable by fines and jail time for repeat offenders to have any opinions about a topic without having a degree in that topic. So if you are an uninform layman then at best what you can do is agree with people who have degrees, but you cannot legally start discussions on your own or share your opinions.

As easy as that. We may need to start regulating the internet for this. We would need to ask discussion boards like 4chan to add a verified feature like twitter and to get verified you would need to send your personal information to the admins so they can confirm you have a degree in, say, physics. Then you can make threads about theories about the universe.

Then unverified people can post in your thread and say "I agree" or "I don't agree" but if someone unverified goes out to share their theory then they will be given a ban of 24 hours. However, another verified person may come to your thread to share his contrary opinion.

Any person banned like this will also have their IP sent to the NSA to see if they can track you and punish you by giving you a fine or jailtime as explained before. And also any site who does not comply with this regulation will be banned off the internet. Like if a discussion website fails to set new rules and enforce them then they will be the ones who get fines and jailtime.

biology/earth science is probably the worst just because idiotic theories in those fields can actually cause harm

some crank in his basement convinced he's cracked perpetual motion with magnets isn't going to kill people

I try and look for a documentary on quantum physics to fall asleep to and 99% of material on the subject is new age consiousness shit.

Quantum physics is probobly the only basic subject of science that is really only accessible at the college level. You try and to teach it to brainlets and high schoolers and they get all kind of rediculous conclusions in their head.

homeopathia is such infinite cancer, and everybody in the industrie gets a piece of the cake.
>reckless marketing on medicine with no active ingredient

homeopathy, nutrition, and physics (just because so many people want to pretend to know it, and also want to pretend it has deep meaning cause they can't understand the physical meaning)

Anything to do with human biology, especially to do with the mind, has it the worst.

People assume that, because they have a body and a mind, they are geniuses when it comes to anything biology related.

Egocentrism - the achilles heel of humanity.
