/sci/ - Science & Math

yes, also higgs mechanism is the new aether

Backwards logic. Hundreds of years ago we believed in paranormal phenomena. Now we don't. For this argument to work you need to post something we knew correctly then started believing incorrectly.

>>1078976

I think by we he meant scientists, not morons.

>>1078967
>Now we don't.

A simple search on Google.com will make you think otherwise.

>>1078981
Many scientists are religious.

>>1078996
What does religion have to do with ghosts?

ITT: People unaware of the massive user overlap between /x/ and /sci/. EXPLAIN THAT, BITCHES

>>1079043
There is also a overlap with /co/

>>1078981
nice.

Also, many scholars did not believe the earth was flat and the solar system was terracentric.

>>1078947
> Hundreds of years ago we thought the world was flat
No, we didn't.

>Hundreds of years ago we thought the world was flat
No we didn't, it was widely known that the earth was spherical.
>and that the Earth was the center of the solar system.
Ancient civilizations in India and the Middle East also had heliocentric models, which for some reason didn't get used much.

>Thousands of years ago we didn't even know what the Sun was.
Not even remotely in contact with the other problems.

>Does that not mean we could be wrong about a lot of things, such as paranormal phenomena?
Completely wrong? No. We might be able to make some minor 'changes' in formulae, like adding new factors.
Paranormal phenomena aren't even worthy of research conducted in the name of science.

>>1079025
Angels
Demons
Coming back from the dead.

It's all paranormal.

>>1079066
Learn to history.

>>1079081
Even the ancient Greeks knew the earth was spherical.

GEOCENTRIC YOU BLITHERING THICKSICLE

Religion was never wrong

Remember when we were the children of a disgusting incest according to occidental religion ? Oh wait...

>>1079113
Do the times science vs religion was proven -right-
=DDD

>>1079132

If you want that just check out the Bible

>>1079151
And now I lol~

>>1079113
>Newton's laws of motion
>proven wrong

>>1079185

yes experiments on moon show that heavy object fall faster then light
this contradicts newton

so we have 2 option
1) we didn't go to moon
2) newton law is wrong

you decide

Maybe, in the future, we'll actually understand how subatomic particles interact to make forces work.

>>1079196

Nothing can travel faster than light silly.

>>1079220
FUCKING SUBATOMIC PARTICLES
HOW DO THEY WORK

>>1079235
no lol sorry!!! i mean light as light weight! =D

like:
elephant (high weight) would fall faster on moon then mouse (low weight)

i mean it in that way

>>1078947
Wrong about things ? Yes, we probably are wrong about some things now, but that will change.

Paranormal phenomena ? Get the fuck out.

>>1079246

>>1079257
yes it was proven, only small effect
newton law: f=ma
but other scientist said f=ma+m/a^4
so very little effect but they measure it

jayceon taylor was the scientist who prove that

So what are you trying to prove?

>>1079257

Sure is FUCKING TOLD in here.

that video is fake ;)

yes

itt; red herrings.

fuck guise, you disappoint me. answer the fucking question. yes, we had some serious misconceptions about shit back then. we have a seemingly clearer perceptions of this shit now. its been repeating. do you think it will repeat again? or are you that fucking naive?

>Hundreds of years ago we thought the world was flat
actually not true, people knew it was spherical by around 330 bc (the greeks)
>and that the Earth was the center of the solar system.
this one is though
this one didn't come till later

>>1079716

we do have evidence and link to chimps fuck tard

yes

probably won't end up being wrong about anything like you're thinking (souls, spirits, telekinesis, clairvoyance), and instead more things like particle physics, gravity, wormholes.

>>1079716

all separate and different? i love how people dont notice the similarities of lifeforms.

The other day I was pointing out to my friend how incredibly similar dogs and humans are, and he asked "how so?"

I said, well, he has 4 protruding limbs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, a mouth, a tongue, a penis, a nose, skin, blood, veins, a heart, a stomach, a liver, a brain, all of which function very similar to our own organs (although true there are slight differences, our brain is more powerful, their nose is more powerful, dogs can only see in black and white, dogs can't eat chocolate.)

>>1079843
>I was pointing out to my friend how incredibly similar dogs and humans are

HOLY SHIT SOMEONE CALL THE COPS

DOGS AND HUMANS MIGHT BOTH BE MAMMALS

>>1079853

yeah, someone tell the religious groups about how mammals have clearly EVOLVED in a similar fashion, thats my gut point.

life isn't so DIFFERENT

of course were all made of the same base elements as well.

>>1079843
>dogs can only see in black and white
wut?

>>1079864
>of course were all made of the same base elements as well.

Water, Earth, Fire and Air amirite?

>>1079843
Dogs are dichromates ("black and white" would be a monochromate).

(just FYI, humans and certain old world primates are some of the few trichromate mammals... and the mantis shrimp kicks all of our asses at as far as cones go).

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of gravity, quantum physics, electromagnetism, etc

No you faggot, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen

>>1079898
Soooooooooooo

you're epic philosophical point is how odd it is that all things are made from atoms?

>>1079924

No.

>>1079924

I'm no "epic philosophical point"!

Why would you call me one?

OP Learn to biomial expand, you left your name on aswell you newfag. Peter.
