Medicine, hard biological subjects (neuro biology, microbiology, biochemistry, cardiology etc.) are where science is at right now. Physics has its uses for Tech, and teaching, but it's basically a history course at this point considering nothing has happened for decades of any value. Physicists should look more towards medi-Tech and engineering as a way to forward science imo.

I'm not fucking surprised that /sci/ can't even appreciate the incredible difficulty of this huge detection. A whole new field of observation on the universe has opened and they have already learned a lot from a couple of detections. And this will work as a proof of concept for more wave detectors too, that can observe different kinds of events a objects too. A wave detector can detect changes down to the very surface of a rotating neutron star in other fucking galaxy's. We can't even imagine the scale of these things.

We have been trying to detect these things since the 1960's and LIGO's sensitivity is comparable to detecting a the width of a hair change in distance over 4 fucking light years. If you can't even appreciate that, then I don't know why you are even on a board about science. These waves are so incredibly tiny, if it weren't for the amazing fucking models they work with for predicting exactly what it would look like, then it would never been even picked out from the noise.

Of course they get a nobel price for it. Its the physics event of the century. No one in physics is surprised they get it, and no one doesn't think they deserve it.
Anyone that knows more about it than the basic pop-sci shit would never be this fucking stupid.

The problem is not that I am offended or disagree with your opinion
The problem is that you for some reason bring your personal normalfag issues up in completely unrelated threads and boards and kill any sort of discussion that isn't a funny racist maymay or "you disagree with me, you must belong to the OTHER GROUP WHO ARE OUR ENEMIES, RIGHT GUIZE???"

/pol/ I want you to understand why we hate you.
We dont hate you because what you say is "offensive". Remember where the fuck you are, we are each about 1 click away from watching women with 12 inch cocks fucking each other. And at one point this site even had guro and loli boards. Oh my god you said nigger! This totally shocks my unenlightened sheeple mind.

No, we hate you because you are the new furfags. You see, the problem with furfags, wasnt that they jerked off to furry shit, it was that they were so fucking obnoxious about it. Everything had to be made furry. Every forum avatar had to be a fursona. They had to constantly broadcast the fact that they were furfags to everyone, and when this was met with derision, they doubled down on their effort. They labeled the rational reaction to their faggotry "fursecution" and actively set out to be the biggest faggots they could possibly be to combat it.

Stormniggers are exactly the same. I have yet to see a single board on this site that doesnt regularly have off topic derails about niggers or jews. Always with craftyjew.jpg and A Wyatt Mann cartoons. It doesnt matter how off topic it is, /pol/ users cant help but broadcast the fact that they are stormniggers.

What does the average IQ of blacks have to do with this thread? I mean, really what does it add to the conversation about the movie? Jack shit. All it does is send out a big loud signal to everyone in the thread that LOOK AT ME! I AM SO RACIST! YOU SHOULD BE OFFENDED!

TL;DR Stormfags are just the same as furfags only their "fursecution" is called "political correctness".

I don’t understand how this comment is constructive, or encourages the reader to think more deeply about anything. It appears to me that this comment’s only purpose is to display the cleverness of the author. Unfortunately, despite the collective efforts of the commentariate, we do get infiltration from those who are apparently determined to give the impression that they are incapable of parsing an entire piece of writing and reading it as a whole.
As has been previously noted (regular readers will be aware) we (that’s the “Royal we” — fellow commenters, occasional contributors such as myself and the moderator team) are engaged in an ongoing attempt to keep the quality of comments at its former impeccably high standard. Sadly, this is more of an effort than it should be.
And as a scientist, it is rather tiresome having to try to explain to the occasional numpty who happens across a post basic reading comprehension skills, how to follow an argument when it is constructed long-form and the ability to master data interpretation.
And I’ve just caught up on all the subsequent comments on this page. All the other commenters have managed to make coherent and intelligible contributions that furthered my understanding or gave me something to think about, because they took the trouble to type more than a single sentence. I don’t agree with everything that’s been said in other comments. Quite the opposite in a couple of cases. But at least I understand what was expressed and the intention behind it.
