/sci/ - Science & Math

?

He has some interesting and controversial ideas regarding the foundations of mathematics. I've watched a lot of his lectures and he makes some pretty convincing arguments.

Tyson is an actual physicist, even if he's gone over more to popsci (and saying stupid shit about biology) these days. Hawking was a hell of an astrophysicist too; his fame doesn't negate his actual work in the field.
I heartily agree that people are too dumb to sustain our society, though.

>But this is purely retardation. This would require the fine coordination of many dozens of structural genes
and thanks to epistasis, this can be done by a point mutation. suppose there's a "master switch" gene whose protein regulates a bunch of other genes that control enamel deposition. Now suppose a mutation in that gene (or its promoter) causes it to be expressed more strongly. because the gene is expressed more, its effects on other genes are more intense, so enamel production is increased, leading to more durable teeth.

it's not that hard to understand

>Twice above I called you on being an industry shill and you haven't denied it.
Really? Will it make you feel better?
I'm not an industry shill, nor have I ever been. I am a graduate student, male, 25, studying paleontology in the godforsaken state of Texas. Now it's a good thing I denied being a shill, because everyone knows that a shill couldn't possibly say they're not a shill. Just like how an undercover cop can't lie about being a cop if you ask them.
Nice ad hominem, by the way. :^)

>doctors won't report their children's symptoms as vaccine related if they don't believe it's possible
Doctors are required to report practically any symptom with any known linkage to an immune response. Parents are also perfectly able to submit reports themselves.
Now, if you think VAERS isn't reliable for the bullshit reason you gave, tell me this: if a child, two weeks after receiving a vaccine, trips down some stairs and breaks their wrist, should the administering doctor be required to report that?

>maybe modern life will miraculously adapt to wholly different conditions, since there used to be life adapted to those conditions
hey, why not just switch to a reducing atmosphere entirely? just get rid of all the oxygen and replace it with CO2 and methane. after all, there was plenty of life before the Great Oxygen Catastrophe!
one lesson of paleontology is that while life survives massive disruptions, the organisms present after the event are not usually the same ones that dominated before.

you might as well ask an astrologer about astronomy, faggot

pick one and only one
saying more CO2 means more plant growth is like saying more flour means more cookies.

>Alarmist climate models don't include ocean oscillations, the wind, volcanoes, THE SUN and others.
literally a lie. don't think so? prove me wrong.

Where were you when Terrence Howard BTFO'd the scientific community?
