>implying you can understand Einstein's concepts without having it dumbed down

Don't flatter yourself OP.

>>1908352
I can understand more than you, and the majority of the population. I hate how jerks like to dumb science down to explain it to an artfag or 6-year-old, when they should just take the same amount of time and effort to learn it like we did; it's not fair ._.

>>1908352
This.

If you just gave 'science' to the stupid masses 'as is' they'd just go wtfisthisshit.jpg and fuck off because they're too busy doing shit that they think matters (but really doesn't) to give a shit about things that do matter but think don't.

>implying human beings have some meaning in the universe other than just to exist and then die off

Knowing the formula E=mc^2 doesn't mean you understand relativity OP.

One space ship going at 0.9 C towards the right passes a ship going at 0.8 C towards the left. What do people in each ship observe?

You have to understand, OP that Einstein was pretty popular, and it's not like his theories weren't controversial. Of course people were interested in it, so he made it accessible.

The public should have access to the results of science, especially to that which is publically funded.

>I can understand more than you
Can I have that crystal-ball of yours for a second?

Goddamn, you're all ignorant. Making science popular is the thing to do if you want to get rid of hate-spewing rednecks everywhere. Also, OP, I am disgusted by
>I can understand more than you
I know, it's probably hard being 15 and being surrounded by seemingly empty vessels, but don't have such an exaggerated opinion of yourself. It only makes life harder.

>>1908364
>they should just take the same amount of time and effort to learn it like we did
How is science meant to get anywhere if scientists hide off any discoveries from peers? How are other scientists meant to acknowledge a discovery if the discoverer doesn't explain their hypothesis, methods, and reasoning behind the experiment that led to their discovery? You come in here claiming to be smarter than the majority of the population. I find that hard to buy OP.

>implying
science > stupid capitalist pursuits

>>1908345
Despite what people seem to believe, Einstein actually couldn't understand science very well without finding a way to dumb it down for himself. It's why he's in favor of layman terms and "popsci"" when teaching/explaining it.

>>1908364
>>saying you know more than someone you've never met
asshole, also if I had never read Carl Sagan I wouldnt be interested in science, Einstein is one of the resigns people are interested in science, if he hadnt "dumbed it down" then there would be substantially less well educated people out their.

So true. Thanks for saying man

>>1908382
In order to (correctly) dumb something down, wouldn't you have to understand it yourself first?
Also, how do you dumb down which hasn't been discovered?

>>1908388
he learned the "dumbed down" version, because that was easier to understand.

knowing jargon doesnt make you smarter than everyone else OP, you would be wise to learn that.

>>1908388

OP confirmed for elitest faggot
>>1908380
Without capitalism you wouldn't have food, a home, water, a sewer system, police to stop you from being raped to death, and funding for your science. You really don't have much perspective.

Yo, OP. I invented time travel... I'd explain it to you but you should already know it. bl... love Einstein

>>1908406
So?

Meh I agree with OP for the most part. Most people don't know science, they just know about it. The facts and concepts mostly are descriptive.

Like 90% of documentarys on anything in physics; they don't teach you anything in the subjects they just give you overviews of what the subjects contain. And people construe that to knowing physics, it's fucking annoying.

So scientists should not explain their knowledge in laymans terms so the general public remain completely ignorant? Scientists should only keep their knowledge base within their own community? Without dumbing down GR you would have absolutely no idea of it's significance.

This.

Nobody believes this shit, not even the most autistic.

Troll thread as it is, I shall contribute:

I find Newton a little overrated.

>>1908483

herp

Thomas Edison is 0/10 on the intelligence scale, just saying.

Jesus Christ was such an overrated scientist. His theories were ridiculous.

>>1908478
what shit?
>>1908366
also I hope you fucking die. Most scientists contribute nothing to society and die before leaving any significant inventions or ideas.

>>1908629
>Implying you contribute anything to society, or even yourself for that matter

>>1908406
>food
The second most government-subsidized industry in America, and the most in my own country?
>water
Also government.
>sewer system
The fucking government
>police
Perhaps the posterboys of government services
>funding for science
Depending on area, perhaps. But really, pretty much all great scientific breakthroughs throughout the last century were government-funded or amateurs.

Sage for troll thread I do not want to be here and for board-unrelated post.

>>1908641
>implying I ever implied that you thick fuck

Because he told the truth to the audience and was forced to lie to the scientists.

He said light has a speed lol! When we are light. Light has influence, in the same way we have influence. You massive homosexuals.
