Which is absolutely factually false.
- TangoTrotFox 9y agoNo, it's correct - but speaking of physics on pop forums is pointless, because of the Dunning Kruger effect. There tend to be three groups of people: - Those that accept things at face value, which is quite silly. What I'm saying should challenge all intuitive notions of reality making open acceptance simply bizarre. - Those that reject things at face value. No better than the first and generally driven by an extremely superficial understanding of physics. As Feynman phrased it, people sipping martinis at a cocktail party and discussing relativity, "Ah yes.. how insightful. Though I think some things may indeed be inherently correct. Mmm..." - And those with a strong physics background already, to whom you provide no additional value to anyhow.
