Subsequent edit: Assuming the universe is infinite, is where the problem begins. There is no reason to assume that. Original comment: Is this really not obvious to people? It's about subtended angles - simple geometry. As the Earth&#

I appreciated the dispassionate detachment of the comment. Like others, I'm a little suspicious of your "feminism annexed academia" bit (though not in the same kneejerky way). But what I really wonder is, could you expand on

Yeah but why would I switch over to this? I don't understand what it gives me that I don't already have. Either I'm an idiot or...

The annoying thing about this analogy is that if I'm going to be the next president, the probability of my being president is 1, and for everybody else, it's 0. But we don't know anything about it until we go through the pro

I'll give you some help justifying it and fathoming it: 30,000 people are dying on roads in the US every year. Because of cars, not because of invisible cyclists. Most of which, there is already a law in place that would've prev
