/sci/ - Science & Math

Some of you are just spouting malarkey. The Universe and her workings is an unlit room, for simplicity. And science is the method of creating a map for this room. Humanity's physics is a form of cartography for this room, and what it yields is a pretty nice map. We've touched the walls, we've measured the floor, we've figured out the basic dimensions of the ceiling. The prevailing idea is that this room is a perfect cube. So when a scientist runs his fingers across a part of the wall which has previously not been touched, and feels a slight dip, everyone flips out. Why? Some of you people. Seriously. Because you get very used to the theories you grew up with? Don't get used to them, that's so lazy. Just because something is experimentally proven to be one way a million times does not make it true. It makes it very, immensely probable, and no matter how much anyone wants, it has very little to do with anything else. You might backpedal one day, and find out there was an instrumentation error... and nothing frustrates me more than a person saying "it shouldn't be this way", just because they got a little too used to a theory. Everything a person says, in the scientific community, was made up by someone at some time. All of this is make believe. Most of it is on to something, a good deal of it is very much on the right track, but it's still fucking make belief. It's the method in which we make believe that is impressive. We have a method for it, and that method is very effective, it's amazingly effective. But it's amazingly fucking effective at giving the wrong impression if it's taught poorly. Some people genuinely think that a theory is the end of the road. It's just the beginning. Remember that before you go about saying "this isn't supposed to work this way". You don't fucking know how this is supposed to work. Nobody does. We're figuring it out, and we'll be figuring it out until none of us are left. If that doesn't sit well with you, then go play with astrology.

What I take from this is that everything is simultaneously two-dimensional as it is three-dimensional, and that each planet and star is relatively isometric, and would appear from a first-person perspective to be flat. But because of the existence of the higgs boson field, a universe-wide curvature is stimulated, causing everything to bend in a way that appears to be spherical, the same going for all the energy operating around that particular body. With this in mind, then electrons are flat, neutrons are flat, and the higgs boson field corrects that shape in a superimposed way that only allows pretty inconsequential symptoms to point toward what things look like before that correction is made. Hence things orbiting stars in a disc-like fashion, and planets having rings rather than dyson-shaped outer crusts. I dunno. You gotta be pretty fuckin' out there just to justify this stuff. It's fun to think about, but at the end of the day, how likely do you really think it is, OP? At best, it's an irrefutable hypothesis, and you know that.

Hey, I know that. But 1,500 years isn't the end of them or us.
