Blackmist, in How can I score an invite to these parties?

Imagine the size of their fucking flag.

Cethin,

That’s the glorious thing about the rainbow. It contains all (visible) colors. (Obviously the pride flag is limited to stripes of distinct colors, but it’s supposed to be representative of everything.)

Just make sure that none of it came from any kilonovas.

underisk, in I call it spooky science

Einstein called quantum entanglement “spooky action at a distance” so you’re in good company.

WarmSoda,

That’s the joke, yes.

As someone who enjoys quantum mechanics, but papers are too far over my head; and has struggled with a nagging sense that something about all the explanations just wasn’t making sense, thank you for this beautifully clear explanation of how these conclusions were reached.

HawlSera,

I still don’t get it, basically what I get from this is “The Dual Slit is bullshit, we just can’t measure it correctly.”

Sadly, Magic is once again missing from the world.

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

All else I have to say is, knowing that amount of things you have to do to even measure this wave in the first place… There’s no great mystery here, it’s just “The ways we have to measure this thing are insanely shitty.”

I will die sadder than I can possibly imagine.

Tar_alcaran,

Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

Wut? I’m pretty sure this has been a derogatory term for pseudoscience since at least the early 90s. I dunno what you think the origins of the word are, but the only relation to Asian people or culture I can find are in the form of it being used to mock charlatans peddling vaguely Asian-sounding spiritual beliefs.

DrRatso,

This person can’t actually back the claim up, but they will double down on it.

HawlSera, (edited )

It was made up by James Randi, a crazy man who claimed he debunked meditation and climate change… Sure he’s also the reason no one takes Uri Geller seriously, but that’s like the ONE good thing he did…

James claimed it was based on music in sci-fi films, but the suspicious similarity to the asian phrase “Wu”, and his own contempt for Eastern Religious Practices are noteworthy.

Tar_alcaran,

He had one kerfluffle in '09 about climate change, but quickly corrected it. I can’t find the actual post, but ![scienceblogs.com/…/james-randi-stands-corrected-p](references to it) are ![discovermagazine.com/…/randi-skepticism-and-globa…](are plenty).

Nobody should be taking Uri Geller seriously, so that’s good.

The “Randi is a pedo” is from a very obviously take smear campaign that is about as real as any of the fraudsters randi debunked.

As for mediation, a massive number of the claims about it ARE fake. Randi has some very clear YouTube videos about his opinion on meditation.

It really sounds like you have a personal grudge against the guy. So now I’m wondering which of your beloved ideas he debunked, or if you simply didn’t spend the 40 minutes requires to research these claims.

HawlSera, (edited )

My argument is that him debunking Geller is a good thing, but it’s like the one good thing he did.

He’s definitely a pedo, did you completely ignore the Phone Sex Recordings?

youtu.be/5khkDtUzAlc

Randi tried to explain this away as a sting operation he performed with police, but… That makes no sense since if teenagers are calling him for sex, that makes Randi look suspicious, not them, I mean how they’d even get the number.

He also served as the primary science advisor on the False Memory Foundation, which was debunked as a kiddie diddling organization and disbanded shortly after in 2019

taanegl, in Hypnotism-Administered Placebo Treatment for Susceptible Populations Suffering from Existential Dread

Dr Thomas Phantasy, Dr Benjamin Shamfield and Randy The Amazing are my new favourite trio of crime solving detectives. With hypnosis they uncover theft, kidnappings, and even murder? Follow them in the next issue of “Wait, wtf did I just read”.

bhamlin, in Utterly terrifying

I guess those are better than finding beans in your candy…

Sasnak, in Utterly terrifying

I love that this fella referred to their self as “the Bobby Yaga.” That’s the energy we need in this world

Listen the Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology is highly regarded.

We need to avoid all candy! It’s proven fact that 100% of people that consume candy eventually die, even those that were only exposed to 2nd hand candy!

someguy3, in Utterly terrifying

That’s actually an interesting question, how many of the atoms we have today are directly from the big bang?

Masimatutu,

All of them :)

Edit: Or none depending on how you see it. No atoms were formed directly at the Big Bang because too hot, but all atoms’ existence is a pretty direct consequence of it

someguy3,

If that’s the case I would say none then. The constitute parts aren’t the item. (How many ships are produced by a forest? None, we use the wood to make the ships.)

name_NULL111653,

All of them? At what point do we consider new atom formation to not be a part of the big bang? Isn’t it still ongoing, at least until expansion and atomic formation stops?

someguy3,

I would consider a sun forming new atoms to not be atoms from the big bang.

My wedding band formed while it was destroying a solar system. You wouldn’t like it when its angry.
