See? POW, thread derailed.

The science I know is not accepted by most, and therefore I do not understand science. No. I do, just not the general scientific consensus... Eve then, I do understand. I just disagree.

YKTSF when someone thinks that cancer is caused by fungus infected with a virus, and can then be cured with baking soda, and when people say he is wrong (which he clearly is) he merely claims to believe in a "different kind of science".

That is the beauty of science- unlike religion, there are black and white areas in addition to the grey. Some things are clearly wrong, some are clearly right. If you vehemently believe and preach things that are wrong... like, REALLY wrong, not probably wrong, then you are asking to be ridiculed.

YKTSFW no. We are done, that discussion is finished. Move on.

YKTSFW I wish the 6th leak WAS real, because like you said, they are awesome.

@Science being black and white, you mean things like gravity right?

BAM!

Here are my thoughts, shamelessly plagiarized:

There's a certain order to the world. Mice get eaten by wolves, motorcyclists get demolished by 18-wheelers and gravity presides over the whole crazy parade, keeping it stuck to the ground like a boss. Understanding where forces rank compared with one another allows us to predict and explain all the different ways in which they will interact. The problem is that gravity, the one force that's involved in just about every interaction that happens here on Earth, is kind of all over the map.

When you look at it up close, gravity is decidedly on the mouse side of the hierarchy. Rub a balloon on your wool sweater (nice sweater, nerd) and pass it over a piece of paper. The tiny electromagnetic charge your sweater transferred to the balloon will lift the paper off the table, overcoming the Earth's gravitational pull. That's the same gravitational pull that tethers the moon in orbit around Earth. Up close, gravity gets its ass handed to it by a bond that's about as strong as worn-out Velcro. But over a distance of 234,000 miles, it acts like the chain on a mace being swung around the head of a planet-sized Viking

This is what's known as the Higgs mass hierarchy problem. Gravity has a tendency to wreak havoc on scientific hierarchies because the closer you look at it, the more likely it is to disappear. It's predictable when you take a step back and watch it yank things out of midair, but on closer inspection, it completely vanishes. In fact, at the realm of particle physics, gravity is 10 ^ 32 times weaker than the second weakest force.

The Earth's mass is 5.97 x 10 ^ 24 kilograms, which allows it to generate the supremely powerful and inescapable force that has held you on the surface of the Earth since you popped out of your mom. The fact that the stray electricity hanging out on your sweater could counteract it makes as much sense as a starving African child being able to bench-press a skyscraper.

How about Thermodynamics?

We intuitively understand the direction that energy travels -- from the thing with energy to the thing with less energy. That's why the second law of thermodynamics is among the first things you learn in science class that makes you say, "Well, gak, I could have told you that." If you're too hot, you move away from the campfire, not toward it. You don't need science to tell you that heat energy travels from the hot thing to the less-hot thing. Well, everywhere in the universe except the sun.

There's a discrepancy between what science says should happen and what the sun actually does, and it's known as the sun's coronal heating problem. Essentially, when heat leaves the sun, the laws of thermodynamics just totally break down for a few hundred miles, and nobody can quite figure out why.

The facts are pretty straightforward; the sun's surface sits comfortably at a blazing temperature of roughly 5,500 degrees Celsius. No problem there. However, as the heat travels from the sun's surface to the layer a few hundred miles away from its surface (known as the sun's corona), it rises to a temperature of 1,000,000 degrees Celsius. Which is 995,000 degrees Celsius, or 1,791,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1 billion gigawatts per 1/4 gigabyte jiggawatt hour (metric) hotter than it has any right to be.

The heat source (the giant ball of nuclear explosions and plasma) should be the hottest thing, not the empty vacuum of space around it. This is the only instance in the known universe where the thing doing the heating is actually cooler than the thing it's heating.

And it's been plaguing solar physicists worldwide since they discovered the little disagreement reality has with our universe in 1939. How is it possible that the area around the sun is about 200 times hotter than its surface? It's not, according to the second law of thermodynamics and everything else we're supposed to know about how the universe works.

Anyways, I heartily call squirrel's theory bs, but I am just saying that he has the right to believe whatever he wants.

And I kinda missed the entire conversation about cancer...was the fungus you were referring to toxoplasma gondii?

My friend attempted to drag me into That Game and I only played once. Then I gave myself an arrow to the knee as an excuse not to play because of how much it sucked.

When someone mentions an arrow to the knee AGAIN!

YKTSFW this thread has been moved twice now...

When you have never seen this subforum until you randomly saw that you were subscribed to a thread in it

YKTSF when you want to begin playing WoW again.

YKTSF when pandas.

you would rather face a vast army of the undead than hear your wife say "I told you so".

Well, if it isn't remilia scarlet. It's an honor to have the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion in our thread
...When you know about anime.
...When your pen dries up.
...When you're out of ammunition and facing a mini gun-only team

YKTSFW you played the game that shall not be mentioned for 5 years...

YKTSFW some people claim to be able to know everything because of their belief structure while decrying religion (a different belief structure) as being stupid.

Also, on the topic of gravity and science being black and white and perfect... dark matter. That is all.

YKTSF when Dark Matter is mentioned.

*Pre-empting derailing, try and keep it on track guys. Thank you.*

YKTSF when you look back at something you said and realise that it is silly in retrospect....

ok, saying that there are black and white areas in science was a little extreme, maybe there are just black areas. while nothing will ever be 100% proven true, plenty of things have been 100% proven false.

Take the aether for example. or the flat-earth theory. or DeadlySquirrels cancer cures.....

Things I wish to address.

1) Cancer is caused by 7 or more mutations in your genes. These mutations cause the cell to undergo mitosis (cell division that creates new cells) constantly, with the gene that causes apoptosis (cell suicide) when something goes wrong in the cell mutated so it does not work. No fungi or viruses involved, just your body going wrong.

2) Actually, the 6th ed book is in the printers atm.

3) Excellent im2random, he suspects nothing!

YKTSF when someones science fails so hard it isn't funny.

The rising feeling when the work week is over

The sinking feeling when the work week being over means you have several hundred pages of reading to analyze and write papers on for a class in two days.

The rising feeling you get when someone mentions the 6th ed rumors being true and being at the printers

The sinking feeling you get when you realize your codex is now 2 editions behind (it could be worse I know)


Work related:
The sinking feeling you get when your favorite manager calls out sick and you get the devil reincarnate instead.

The sinking feeling you get when your coworkers ate your share of the pizza and cookies.

The sinking feeling you get when you realize you've been cleaning grease out of fryers and broilers since 9. Its now 2 in the morning and you still aren't finished.

There, happy?

YKTSFW you should probably be painting but stuff keeps getting in the way.

....when you have to clean your desk

....when you are a little late to realize that this thread has been moved again....

YKTSFW your army hasn't had a good codex for three editions now if the sixth is real.

YKTSFW people always talk about how cute pandas are, and forget that they WILL eat you if you hug them.

YKTSFW your are still waiting for your "2nd wave" to come out for a new codex you are still are not entirely happy with.

YKTRFW you see a bear model, life sized, only your own height on it's hind legs, and wondering if you can take it in a fight. And arrive at the conclusion-yes.

YKTSFW you're watching a show and the main character starts a past tense voice over while another main character runs off at the end of an episode in which they were dealing with their brother's drug problem; which was a secret to them that they overheard about. The credits starting after showing a flowerbed with blood flowing over it.

YKTSFW they're then shown jumping off a building in the first 10 seconds of the following episode and land in the flowerbed.

When N0t_u's dancing quid-girl thing still creeps you out.

what jacked up show were you watching?

YKTSFW, you know your not really that much older than ther rest of the people on this forum, but at the same time you think you are and just saddened by this fact. retirement... It's over rated.
