This is one of the finest examples of CGI spoofery & "scientific" gobbledygook I've seen in a long time.
Brilliantly done.

From the film's website:

Welcome to the homepage of ICR - the world's leading research laboratory in the highly specialized field of spinning people around.

We are proud of our history - a chronicle of passion and pioneering achievements in the realms of brain manipulation, excessive G-Force and prenatal simulations. Established in 1976 by Dr. Matthew Brenswick and Dr. Nick Laslowicz, the institute has never stopped doubting the generally accepted laws of physics.

We believe that even the trickiest challenges confronting mankind can be diverted via human centrifugalization. Spinning people around at a sufficiently high G-Force will solve every problem. Our confidential field-studies and covert experiments have confirmed: To the best of our knowledge, everything is possible. And if it is not, what the Hell, we try it anyway.

ICR is a charter member of the "Alliance of Trustworthy Scientists" - an organisation established in 1976 by the ICR. Although we have been slow in attracting additional members, we are highly respected for our long tradition of speculative science.

While I would have enjoyed participating in some of those, meh, not all of them.

The data truly is something to think about.
