/sci/ - Science & Math

Nope, because unlike most of the idiots on this board I'm open to the fact that all known theories might be misguided.

BTW who is that kid? Did he come up with the theory that there could be particles that exceed the speed of light?

A stopped clock is still right twice a day.

Saw him on yahoo stories but got distracted with porn. What's his name again?

Nope that was our Lord and Time-travelling saviour Tesla.

>BTW who is that kid?
He did integrals on house windows

"Baseball caps will be synonymous with mental defects and homosexuality" - Nikola Tesla, circa 1911

Jacob something or other, he just wrote a "proof" that Einstein was wrong about something or other which had a flaw that people didn't spot for a while. Also his parents and news reporters are making him feel special and telling him he is very inteligent, when in fact he is more a less average with a very good memory.

ITT Jelly /sci/entists because they weren't smart enough as a child to disprove Einstein

Jacob:
///
So you get all the elements, all the different materials, from those bigger stars. The little stars, they just make hydrogen and helium, and when they blow up, all the carbon that remains in them is just in the white dwarf; it never really comes off.

So, um, in the big-bang theory, what they do is, there is this big explosion and there is all this temperature going off and the temperature decreases really rapidly because it’s really big. The other day I calculated, they have this period where they suppose the hydrogen and helium were created, and, um, I don’t care about the hydrogen and helium, but I thought, wouldn’t there have to be some sort of carbon?

Otherwise, the carbon would have to be coming out of the stars and hence the Earth, made mostly of carbon, we wouldn’t be here. So I calculated, the time it would take to create 2 percent of the carbon in the universe, it would actually have to be several micro-seconds. Or a couple of nano-seconds, or something like that. An extremely small period of time. Like faster than a snap. That isn’t gonna happen.

Because of that, that means that the world would have never been created because none of the carbon would have been given 7 billion years to fuse together. We’d have to be 21 billion years old ... and that would just screw everything up.

The kid wasn't even trying to disprove Einstein in the first place.
It was something about Big Bang actually, I don't remember.

Isn't his name Jacob Barnett?

>>3802519
Yes, pampered by the Christian creationists.

His reasoning behind why Big Bang theory is false ->

>that people didn't spot for a while
Except that /sci/ anons found a flaw with his hypothesis on the very first post as I recall.

>>3802523
..which was?

>>3802475

you made me remember: i couldn't sit out a single youtube video because he failed to produce a single coherent sentence

you get the feeling he's trying to tell you three concepts at once, thus sounding like he is totally rambling
i mean i understand the meaning of the words, but in that order they just mean nothing

Einstein had his own blackboard.

Oh, let me write my theories on a foggy window or a dirty car hood.

What a retard.

>>3802529
Post RGB dredging.

>>3802539

>can't prove him wrong
>resort to insults

>>3802539
i know it's like 'you know, a paper and pencil are popular choices for a fucking reason'

>>3802531
Yep I remember that fucking word salad.

>>3802475
the universe is only 0.4% carbon today it would be even less then, if he couldn't look this up on Wikipedia i don't hold much hope for him disproving GR or the rest of his "calculations".

>>3802559
>>3802531
Its called ADD meds. They make you think you're correct, superior, and godlike in your intelligence. Also, they make you babble incoherently. That is literally all this kid has going for him. If he REALLY understood ANYTHING he would understand that in order for his calculations to mean anything they would have to be understood by someone else. Instead he is only concerned with his own self-satisfaction with the result.

>>3802475

I find it worrying that I can understand most of "The Universe in a Nutshell", yet I still have serious trouble understanding a fucking thing this kid is saying.

Can someone translate?

>>3802607
According to the boy the metallicity of the universe is too high.

Live with it.

>>3802597
Yup.

I know his "mentor" physics professor and there's a very good reason why Dr. Ross isn't helping this kid with his nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, he knows talent when he sees it, but he does not encourage stupidity.

He did encourage our Rube Goldberg machine in high school though. Fucking awesome thing. The machine had to cast a vote, so ours had the Arnold Schwarzenegger theme. One of those "terminator hand" toys ultimately punched an x on a burnt out "post-apocalypse" typewriter next to Arnie's name.

It also included a pulley and chain that lowered a T-2 action figure of Arnold into a bucket of orange kool-aid. You know it's awesome.

>>3802607
he is full of shit, you can tell because he doesnt know his units. Anyone trying to prove significance would actually know what units they are working in.
