Are you saying I was trolling or you were? If you were, you got me good.
Time travel is very easy to dick around with in a casual setting without getting into anything complicated because of how time dilation works. You can take a trans-atlantic flight and travel through time with respect to someone standing on the ground. It doesn't mean you can go fuck the Olsen twins pre-drugs, but that's just a matter of how people perceive time travel.
This is all no-fucking-shit stuff to you so I'm still wondering why you gotta be so mad about encouraging dreams. Dreams are where science is born, son.
But hey if some dude reads my post and goes and builds the starship enterprise because he thinks he'll be able to fuck a triceratops if he flies it through a pair of black holes, then suck my dick I just made a guy build a constitution-class starship capable of faster-than-light travel.
u heated? lol.
Thats the prob, you do and talk space casually. I do it. :D
Workin' on it, dog. Astrophysics was a hobby and a minor for years. I maintain correspondence with a lot of people in the field, and I've swapped focus recently to start work on my master's in physics.
You ain't doing as much service to the field as you think you are by broadsiding casual science talk, though. Shit's interesting, shit's fun, and shit's harmless. Like I already said, if someone did take that post serious enough to go build a spaceship and ask for instructions on how to fuck dinosaurs, then fuck you the guy built a spaceship. My work is done and done.
Translation: "I watch discovery channel and know people at my school that take science".
lol.
o ok
You looked stupid in Howie's science thread from a few months back too. From this day forth, you are to be known as MaxTeem.0 v2
Am I supposed to know who that guy is?
Max™ was a self-professed homeschooled, self-taught, self-diagnosed with Asperger's "genius"
his name becomes MaxTeem, and he used to spout a lot of science stuff without backing it up
you've been insulted. Also, I doubt this will help, but I didn't think you looked stupid in my thread, but science is hardly my forté
Yo if you think I should be less casual about science on the intrawebs, by all means state your case. The way i see it, ostracizing science from everyday conversation by eliminating the middle ground between the LHC thread and everywhere else is even more harmful, as it prevents non-scientists from participating or showing interest in anything science-related. Science literacy and science accessibility are important, and the former can only develop when you have the latter along with the capability to generate interest.
That was directed towards miz btw. And that sounds pretty harsh. As far as I am aware, I do not have spergs.
doesn't sound harsh, imo, but only because I know miz is never fully serious unless he's in rage mode, and you never wanna see that
he's given chari a few well-deserved verbal beatings over the years but still is tight with him. Don't mind miz, he'll just calls 'em as he sees them, and he's got a damn sharp tongue, like a male kohan with a slight case of the street-mouth.
personally, instead of getting your back up, I'd ask for pointers if and where they might be needed. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the idea that to stifle discussion is ill-advised, but some people want what they care about to be disseminated properly. I'm not saying (and unable to gauge) that you're wrong, but look past the hot-like-fiyah words and maybe talk a little shop with the man
you could be the Ralph Machio to his Mr. Miyagi
odd coincidence happened in IAS, thread title appropriate:

I like how when debating intelligence words like yo and dog are used.
reminds of that NBA player that got recruited from playing streetball, and never went through NCAA or any of that
I don't mind pointers and I'm always down to talk shop, but it seems that the crux of the problem as I understand it is he feels that my expositions are often dumbed down and/or oversimplified to a degree which he finds unacceptable. I'm not entirely sure what he wants me to do about that. There is a balance that has to be struck between being technically correct and being casual enough to effectively communicate science with a non-STEM audience.
If anything I said was flat out wrong, I'd appreciate the correction.
lin made one particular smart post and then dumbed it down in a separate post, could go from there
and shiro has made me understand the gist of things I otherwise have nfi about, despite talking about riboflavins and flavaflavins
