I mean, I'm just barely a CS grad student and I feel like a dumbass for knowing basically nothing beyond calculus/intermediate discrete mathematics and university physics ranging from classic to relativity. But man, even I've read some Feynman in my spare time.

Anonymous Mon Sep 3 05:45:07 2012 No.5023351

I actually like that page. Granted it is over saturated with Tyson, however most of it is harmless fun.

Also why does everyone like Tyson? He comes across as a pompous ass, and can he ALWAYS looks straight into the camera. You are not supposed to do that.

>implying these lyrics aren't insanely clever and on par with modern poets

Tears on the mausoleum floor
Blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y'all seek?
All for Plato, screech
I’m out here balling, I know y'all hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach

>ITT:butthurt elitist faggots and a science hipsters

Seriously, is your self-esteem so fucking low that you must have 'science' to feel better than anyone else? Is that the reason why you don't want 'non-scientists' to like science?

And still you all complain about how you never get laid and how underappreciated scientists are in today's society.

Retards.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 07:09:22 2012 No.5023419 As much as I dislike TBBT, I don't see anything wrong with there being opportunities for more people to get interested in science. What I'm waiting for is the "nerd culture" fad to pass, to see how many people actually developed a genuine interest.

>>	Nuka-Cola Mon Sep 3 07:46:07 2012 No.5023474 >>5023395 i think the danger is so called "science worship", or just being a science fan. you never go beyond reading gizmag articles. things like this (the facebook thing) only reinforce that, rather than being a springboard, which is the problem.

I'm glad to see such enthusiasm towards the subject. It is just a bit of fun that actually educates people about genetics, evolution, the big bang and the like.

I much prefer people basking in such a page; rather than liking pages about reality TV shows and various celebrities of no self worth.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 07:56:53 2012 No.5023495 >>5023480 Agreed. Although the fact that so many people of my age pretend to have an interest in science when they actually don't understand or actually appreciate it's beauty and the way it seeks to explain everything... irritates me.

I guess we have some real lovers of science up in this fan page, OP. Thanks for sharing!

It's better to read science journalism forever than to receive little or no exposure to science. For a high schooler or even a first year uni student, something like "man that chemistry image macro was much more interesting than that shakespeare one..." is enough of a push to add a science course or two to a schedule, which is where most careers in science begin.

Also, as a scientist, it pleases me tremendously when my family and friends show interest in any kind of non-technical science literature. It's much better to have an interested public that's receptive to science and science funding than to have a bunch of totally ignorant conservatives who think the NIH and animal research is useless.

>As you might have guessed from our new cover photo, this week we are having a 'Women In Science' feature. Every day, we'll be giving you info, history and quotes on some amazing women throughout history who have had their work neglected, or perhaps not received the recognition they deserved.

Already hate it
