What is an "Authority" in Science?

Picked one by one from a mixed channel. Transcript check: Lecture-style explanation of what constitutes scientific authority, filmed at a historical science site.. Channel rule: Include only straightforward science explainers and lectures whose titles plainly name a biology or evolution concept, such as the 'Evolution question #' series, 'What are Jumping Genes?', 'How did flight evolve?', 'Is the Genetic Code Really a Code?' and 'Origin of the Genetic Code'. Exclude reactions, debunks, controversy or drama framing, podcasts and discussions, unboxings, nephew experiments and teaser-style titles.
