VC: Okay, so we've established that units of measure are, mathematically speaking, observable facts. I'm talking about all the laws we have. Every single physical relationship is theory. Acceleration due to gravity is theory. The molecular composition of starch is theory. The Ladder Theory is theory.
But we accept these as fact because it would be retarded not to.
How much mercury you have in a beaker is not theory unless you are crazy.
Um, I think we can see atoms now, so that isn't theory.
Fuck you.
Fuck electron microscopes?
Are you an electron microscope?
Yes he is.
Well then fuck him and the electron he rode in on and you too and God too and all that shit amen.

But science certainly DOES contain and involve facts.
Only in the colloquial sense. Not in the actual, scientific sense.
Even something as mundane as oxygenation or "humans need to breathe to live" is theory, not fact in the scientific sense. But we take these things for granted, so they are called "factual".
If there are no facts in science in the scientific sense, then how is it exactly that there is a scientific sense of fact?
You're talking bollocks.
Also, who cares what scientists say - they just agree with whichever current philosophy of science is popular and people can identify with (most commonly Popper's falsificationism). Despite the fact that any study performed on how scientists actually do their work shows that they do their own thing which we're currently unable to adequately describe in rational terms (despite the fact that we are fairly sure it's rational, we're just unable to give an adequate description).
Now, within science, there are theories, facts and theories which are factual.
If aliens conclude that there is no intelligent life on this planet and blow it into a billion pieces in the next ten minutes, it's because of you fuckers
Have you surveyed all current arguments in the universe? Did you check for unicorns?
Absolute stupidity is a universal constant. Once you hit it, there ain't no getting dumber.
What about an argument between a libertarian and a quasi-libertarian about the merits of privatizing sidewalks?
As stupid, but no stupider.
Also, that was the funniest fucking episode of the office

Anyone listened to the new Britney Spears album? It's pretty catchy and surprisingly well-produced.
are you serious? cause I almost took the bate... not that I've heard it... but then I realized this was probably just an attempt to change the subject(s).
Is it too early to decide on a New Year's resolution?
no. shit you could even start now. no one would mind.
Sir, are you trying to imply that I am inept as a human being?
no! I just meant if you have some pressing change to make, better to do it now! though if at least you decide you have 2 months to prepare for a life change.

I'm not. Have you seen that commercial for Rhapsody with the bit of the new J Lo song? I actually thought that was a pretty good pop song.
I've been known to sing along to Oops I Did It Again.

there are a lot of people here fine with pop music . personally I'm more interested if she can release something good and be on the first step to no longer just being a joke, getting herself off the news and back to an actual life. I hate this shit, and I don't blame her for it or anything, but it'd be awesome if she could get out of it. like.. people seem to not care that it's a human being. that's where I was going with the conversation.

Fuck electron microscopes?
This is technically incorrect. Every method we've used to visualize atomic structures does not actually give us a picture of what the atom looks like, it gives us a picture of the medium's interaction with some component of the atomic structure.
Electron microscopes image the scattering of electrons of the orbitals of atoms, while atomic force microscopes measure some combination of electrostatic repulsion and the Pauli exclusion principle. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy measures the ability of electrons to tunnel through a particular point on a surface and we assume that since there's no reason for it to vary that this corresponds to changes in the atomic structure, but it is in fact at best a measure of the local density of states for electrons to enter - hence graphite, which gives a nice atomic structure because it's actual crystal lattice structure varies it for every 2nd atom, giving good contrast.
The most important thing you learn about imaging techniques is that you have to be very clear on what exactly you're taking an image of, and what you're inferring that image to be of. As it stands, the images we see of atoms by our various techniques support the theoretical model of the atomic structure.

Hi5. It's not a crime to be entertained.
Plus this Britney album is about 1/8 her and 7/8 other pop musicians so that may be why it's listenable.

Yeah I can appreciate that point of view, I pretty much share it. It's just a surprise to find this album actually is pretty good when it came out of such dire surroundings. She doesn't really seem to be promoting it though so I'm not sure it will really help turn her life around, except for selling well and keeping her pocketbooks lined.

No, I never thought that, I'm saying it started with _J_ trying to play word-games with someone and being totally wrong.
