“Trust the science” became the mantra during the pandemic – but now it seems we’re living in an age where the likes of Terrence Howard and Candace Owens are trying to debunk it. Actor Howard recently raised eyebrows when he appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, claiming he can kill gravity and doesn’t believe in the number zero among other outlandish theories.
