Entropy is like Quantum Mechanics: badly misused by people who don't actually understand it. And since MOST people don't understand them, they have no way of telling real from bullshit.

Cat Mattress posted:The only instance have seen of people genuinely forgetting about the sun in the middle of a scientific-looking argument was a creationist arguing that entropy made it impossible for evolution to happen. This Christian club at my college tried this one on the first year science students and got laughed at. Even to the point where my physics professors mocked the idea in the middle of class.

*cel The Worst Reporter! Ben posted:Sure, the climate changes, but they leave out one important factor in their data: The sun. Ben. That's just. Not. True.  Ben posted:The Pacific will continue to be polluted with radioactivity and it’s all cumulative. We’re also a flood, EMP strike, or big earthquake away from this happening elsewhere at a nuclear power plant. Shut them down. Shut them all down. It’s fooling with something that could lead to an extinction-level event. Of course, the elite running the show will be safe in their underground bunkers if that happens. They love death—as long as it happens to us and not them. Look, if the Goldeneye satellites are ever activated we're going to have much bigger problems to worry about. Also, it takes a very special kind of stupid to hear the word "radiation" and start clawing out your eyeballs but hear the words "2% global temperature increase" and go back to eating your funyuns and watching Wheel of Fortune.

Bors is doing one of those AMA-like things if anyone's got any good questions to ask one of the more well-liked cartoonists. I did, and the reply was interesting.

Has Kirschen ever been able to draw well, or has his entire career been this sort of kindergarten level scribblings? I just ask because it seems like a lot of the bad cartoonists here used to be somewhat talented and collapsed artistically over the decades.

Nobody has ever seen Dees and Garrison together in the same room. Either they're the same person, or we're watching a Charles Wain-esque mental breakdown in real time.

I was a Thermodynamics superstar back in college, so I have a much deeper understanding of Entropy then most people, so I get extra angry when people misuse it. However, I have a very shaky understanding of all things Quantum (engineer, not physicist), so I know how it feels when people try to fool you with Entropy baloney.

Ruzihm posted:How do people misuse entropy? I want to say that I haven't heard it before but then I think maybe I just can't recognize it. entropy is something about how thermal energy becomes mechanical energy, i guess the mis-use is people saying this disproves evolution because they forgot the sun is a pretty big source of thermal energy?

Yes, they say you can't have something increase in complexity because that would violate entropy, which says everything can only become more disordered, under all circumstances, period. Checkmate, atheists.
