His opinion on religion is it cannot be scientifically validated or discredited (at least the notion of God) so he is agnostic.

Here's an easy check for polarization.
Take one pair of the glasses, hold them up to the light.
Take a second pair of the glasses, hold them perpendicular to the first set, lens on lens.
The light cannot pass through the two polarized lenses perpendicular to each other.
If light passes through - lenses are not polarized

I see it too.
I think it's the "Idiocracy Effect".

>Implying conductivity is the basic mechanism between coupling a magnetic field to a medium
It is a good indicator, though

The material pictured then must generally have a high relative permeability, and a magnetic phase transition at its melting point.

Funny enough, a fellow grad student was giving some girlie undergrads a tour of our chem research facilities. Me and another handsome young chap are working on a delicate reaction. The girls seem giddy, and the tour guide opens the door to let us know that the undergrad girls liked what "chemistry looked like".
>mfw I may have directly influenced some girls to become chemists just from being so handsome

As someone with a B.S in physics, and now working on a PhD in chemistry - this is true.

Almost all interaction theories, regardless of the type of molecule or solvent/solute system boil down to kinetic, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic interactions. These are governed and taught in rigor for physicists.

Chemistry. So easy, a physicist could do it.
Seriously, if you get a degree in physics - you can do anything. Unless you have Parkinson's disease or something

Don't get too mad.
That weeaboo didn't even realize that the article he posted was for quantum systems - particularly those which are limited to only two states.

Yeah, I have herpes type 2 and it almost never bothers me. Only had two outbreaks over three years, once two weeks after I got it, and once again a few months later when I cut my dick shaving.
And I got it from fucking a really hot girl while I was visiting Florida shit was so cash

Not my trip, you stupid jew
If you can't even think of a name for yourself, fuck off

Nope.
Perhaps if it was called Biblical History or Biblical Science - but it isn't.
I've heard of more bullshit degrees.

You fail to understand magnetic fields it appears.
The magnetic field strength falls of as the square of the distance from the object.
That is in vacuum.
Anything the magnetic field may resonate or interact with will also decrease the magnetic field strength.
The field strength is a measure of the energy a magnet can transfer to another object. So, all of that energy is being sapped in the process of getting from the source to the target.
Human-made magnet field strengths are measured at the center of the magnet. We are talking distances on a nano to micro scale.
The distance difference between the two scales is of the order of km/um, or 10^9.
Assuming no losses through interactions in the path - the Earth's magnetic field strength would be 10^18 times higher than measured at the surface. That turns 10^-6 to 10^12 Tesla.
The most powerful human made magnet again, is only of the order of 10^2 Tesla.
Again, this is neglecting interactions with matter as well.

Wrong.
A 2 foot by 2 foot grid of hexagons would have space missing in the corners of the grid, unless you were cutting the hexagons into pieces (not fully hexagonal - not a space filling model at all!)

That is most efficient for honey bee's storing honey in a honeycomb. They have to be able to travel into and out of the orifice, while also stacking multiple layers and creating a structure.
Solar panels need to be mated to a surface. It would be pointless to make a 3-D structure out of solar panels. Most man-made structures are rectangular - the best space filling model for a rectangular surface is with rectangles themselves.

What new interpretation of quantum mechanics is this?

Batshit conspiracy theory aside -
No.
The earth has a magnetic field.
Do you realize how huge of a fucking magnet it would take to create that large of a field?
We're talking a measureable field thousands of km from the source.
Even the most powerful man-created magnetic fields cannot compare (approximately 100T, not enough magnetic field to be detectable from 10's of km) away.
Just that one scientific fact completely destroys this batshit conspiracy faith (I hesitate to really call it a theory)

If you were to double-wrap it, you could be almost certain to block out the radio frequencies being emitted by the tracker, so long as you weren't standing within a several hundred foot radius of the nearest cell tower.

>>6576671
This is true.
Science arose as a philosophical way to approach understanding the world around us.
Science IS inherently a philosophy, anyone who argues it is not is either trolling or retarded.
That said, when I graduated with my degree in physics, it was fucking annoying being next to the philosophy guys. Some of them even commented "hey, we're pretty much like the same thing". We soon turned our back on them and stuck to ourselves
