Suck it, Casimir

That's what I find so frustrating about most mainstream science journalism. They take something that's actually quite interesting if you actually bother to understand it, but ignore the interesting details to conflate some meaningless hype that just leaves most of the public even dumber than they were before the article.

I can't read real science magazines, though.

When they start getting into the real details, my brain goes completely numb because I really do not recognize something like 40 to 50% of the words they are using.

God, some of those mags also come across like love letters to various industries. "How to make your car burn twice as much gas and emit four times as much carbon because we fucking love the petroleum industry and will suck their dicks for meth!"

I fucking hate pandering to the stupid people.


You tell them teleportation has been done, and unless you're making mice reappear 800 miles away they think its stupid.


You fucking prole. they are transferring information faster then the speed of light. This is monumental stuff.

exactly! there is some really fucking amazing research going on but so many people can't be bothered with actually trying to even begin to understand it and they get jazzed about the stupid shit, or about something that is exciting but completely miss why it's actually exciting

God, I remember when I read about that.


It was like my brain just turned off for like 5 minutes and had to reboot on account of the awesome.

wait what

can someone link me to that

Wait, I ballsed that up.

It wasn't at superluminal speeds.

Mr. Henry Bemis

i was like what the fuck THAT IS HUGE

Mr. Henry Bemis

that's what she said

sarukun

It wasn't?

Where is the article, I remember something about teleports, dammit.

I assumed you were talking about the possibility that quantum entanglement could be exploited to store and manipulate data.

I read a bit more about it, and it sort of is superluminal, but you still have to transmit some data classically, otherwise it doesn't work.

Man, quantum physics is fucked up,

sarukun

See, I knew instantaneous teleportation of particles was going on there.

Silmaril

Its a right mind fuck.

I love quantum.

sarukun

I get EVERYTHING about classical physics. I don't know how to apply it to anything, but I am high fiving Einstien like crazy and I have got his shit completely down pat.


I understand the very teeny tiniest parts of the fundamentals of quantum. I read more than 5 sentences on quantum and my brain deactivates.

Druhim

As Feynman once said, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."

Quantum physics is basically "All that shit you wish could be done?


We can do it"

see the reason you have problems with quantum mechanics is because you're trying to make sense of it
you just need to accept that's how it is even if it seems nonsensical

My brain cannot help but go "But *why*" and too often the answer is "we seriously don't even fucking know" or so dense and complex that I cannot comprehend it.

of course there are shoes in space you big silly
