Just because I don't know for sure doesn't mean I assume it's magic. okay this might sound crazy, but hear me out: what if, without something under your house, it wouldn't fall down in the first place, because an invisible power that we can observe and measure indirectly but not explain causes physical objects to move towards other physical objects what if it turned out that without this invisible power, there would be no "down"? it gets even crazier: the only reason this invisible power hasn't compressed everything that exists into a single all-devouring one-dimensional dot is because there's another invisible power that causes space itself to expand, and this second power is an immense but inaccessible source of energy present within nothingness itself and the only thing we really know about it is that the entire universe we can see and interact with is tiny compared to it Hodgepodge has issued a correction as of 13:03 on Apr 9, 2019 |

Hodgepodge posted:Looking at synopsis, it seems as if the books has more to do with the absolute poo poo job physicists do explaining what they're talking about than anything else. Unfortunately, what they mean when they say "observation" has nothing to do with what it sounds like when they say it. It just means that quantum systems are delicate and only have specific values for certain things we want to measure after they've been disturbed sufficiently by interaction with another system. The fact that we can't even observe quantum systems directly with our perceptions should have been a huge clue to this- it would imply that reality didn't even exist until the early 20th Century. The authors offer a number of anecdotes throughout the book that speak to Shear Modulus's point. You would need to read the actual book instead of just the amazon summary page.

I did a sperm count test once. Never did check the result because wife was pregnant. They put me in a dimly lit small room with some smut and told me to have at it. I didn't have to see anyone afterward just left the stuff in a box. It was pretty comfortable environment to spank one out. However the porn on the DVDR were all old random downloads from the internet. Yes DVDR in 2017.

I did the same thing but they told me as long as I could get to the lab in 20 minutes I could just do it at home. I did feel a little weird racing to the place with the "sample" in a little jar in a paper bag on the seat next to me.

But that just something we don't understand, it's still not magic and ghosts and spirits. In the past everything we've attributed to supernatural occurrence turns out to be a phenomenon we just don't understand yet, and then when we do understand it it's just understandable things following preset laws. But this time it's different! This time it's ghosts! Reality isnt a Spooky spiritual thing, once we year off it's mask its just old man gravity trying to trick us. There's no magic ghosts.

Pidgin Englishman posted:There's no such thing as magic, but there's absolutely unknowables. Dealing with them requires either a level of spirituality or pretending they don't exist. In so much as spirituality is your ability to believe in things without hard evidence. As if you dig into anything deep enough you'll absolutely run out of hard evidence. or just enough loving humility to accept that there is some information you can't obtain or infer without crediting it to an omniscient being "we don't know anything about X" does not necessarily lead to "therefore, X is magic". you don't need spirituality to accept that there are things you don't know. you certainly can feed spirituality into that, if you have a preexisting disposition toward it, but it's not required and can occasionally lead people off into pseudoscientific dead ends because their eagerness to fit things into a spiritualist framework leads to making conclusions not supported by the facts for example, judging from its website and the numerous explanatory pages the authors write about the controversy and persecution they're facing from mean quantum physicists, The Quantum Enigma apparently jumps straight from "observation alone seems to affect things and we don't know why" to "clearly that means consciousness itself plays a fundamental role in the laws of the universe and quantum physicists are just a bunch of denialists who deliberately blind themselves to the truth". sure thing, Mulder

Einstein himself knew that in order for the laws to be correct that there would have to be "spooky action at a distance" so the why is that that's how the universe is built. Einstein's spirituality is best understood through the "God as watchmaker" view. The guy just figured out the general fabric of spacetime, he understandably saw the universe as an incredibly complex creation that he looked at as divine in its mechanism. I'd imagine anyone who suddenly saw how everything fits together would have a similar feeling of awe. I'm not about to give the guy a hard time by citing the puddle theory even though that is what it essentially boils down to. You can choose to see it both ways, but only one has, well, Main Paineframe said it best: Main Paineframe posted:just enough loving humility to accept that there is some information you can't obtain or infer without crediting it to an omniscient being

right now intuit and the other tax software companies let you use a free online version of their programs if you are below some income level and your taxes are not too complicated. (it also sucks and constantly tries to funnel you into paid products). apparently they came up with this solution when the IRS was looking into making an official government version and they were like no let us do it. if they make it so the free government version isnt going to be something they have to worry about theres no reason they need to provide their free version of their product as a stopgap.

capitalism is the most efficient system as evidenced by the fact that multiple capitalist enterprises exist to help fill out complicated government forms and then spend their to make sure the forms stay complicated
