Assignning negative assumptions to racial groups?

Like "racist Mediterranean types". Which clearly links racism in a causal manner to Mediterranean heritage

Honestly I expected more from you. Disappointing.

Did you really not learn basic grammar in school, like the difference between the subject and object of a sentence?

 

[Crabapplepittard]

Oh oh! Phroaigy and spreaders bout to go head to head here!

Incidentally, remember when Pippa Middleton was the hottest woman in the world for two days? Man, that was epic!

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

No

Was this an Adelaide thing?

Number One. Albert Einstein and the "Universal Constant" in the General Theory of Relativity. Nobody dared question the great man, who legend has it could only discuss physics with two or three people in the world. Because the rest of us dumb campaigners were too dimwitted to understand what he was saying.

But back to the Universal Constant. It was a number Einstein invented out of thin air. With no reason at all to justify the number. Except that if that number was plugged into his relativity equation then the maths said what Einstein wanted the maths to say. Without it, the equation was gibberish.

The greatest scientific mind of the 20th century invented a "fact".

Ahahaha, what an idiot, the scientific method changes when better science comes along.
That’s how it works, it’s always evolving, improving, never stagnant, unlike idiots like you!

Nah,. I already have his vote in my pocket in the quest for the elusive back to back.

Must devote resources wisely.

Making shit up doesn't count as "scientific method". Although it does happen with distressing frequency in science. To Einstein's credit, though, he did later in life openly admit that he was ashamed of cheating by making this one up.

It is amusing to note that certain sectors of the physics community are now suggesting that the universal constant is being vindicated by contemporary theory.

Why? I hear you ask. Dark Matter.

A slippery little non-object that gives a cool name to the same sized invention of convenience. There's not enough gravity in the universe to make my theory balance. The obvious answer is that there is a shitload of matter out there that we can't detect, and never will. If there were to be exactly the Goldilocks amount of undetectable matter then we have the amount of extra gravity we need to make the theory work. Thus it is proven that dark matter exists.

When will these campaigners learn that if the map is different to the ground, then the it is the map that is wrong?

Just so you could ask her "Who's the king"

It's good to be the King!

Where did you study physics?

[FurTheWin]

Alright, so far we have

Melbourne vs Geelong

Melbourne vs Tasmania

A Republic Day game
(will require Australians to republicamize themselves sometime between March and August)

Carlton vs Albert Einstein

Who else wants a piece of the AFL marquee calendar?

 

[Laphroaig]

Thats just plain stupid you knob.

 

[Laphroaig]

Where did you study physics?

I don't study physics. I study physicists.

And what a sad bunch of knob jockeys they are.

 

[carltonchelsea]

I don't study physics. I study physicists.

And what a sad bunch of knob jockeys they are.

Riiiiigggghhhhtttt……
So I can ignore your opinion on the subject then.
Are you a religious person Laph?

 

[the avoca drover]

And what a sad bunch of knob jockeys they are.

There’s a few around here as well.

You'd make a rooly good scientist.

If anything challenges your preconceptions just ignore it or ridicule it. Keep that up and you too can be subsequently proven wrong in a considerable majority of the things you state as fact Which is the error rate of modern science.

And frighteningly, it's getting worse. And if it is actually possible, stupider.

I particularly enjoyed the published peer reviewed "scientifically valid" finding that a group of university students had demonstrated the extra sensory ability to identify hidden images (but only if they were pornographic).

Wash your mouth out campaigner.

Wash your mouth out campaigner.

At least I understand the principle of the scientific method, which you pathetically ridicule, like a raving Wendy Wright or Ken Ham.
Your logic is, because something that was, given our current knowledge, proves to be usurped at a future date, because of technological and greater scientific advances, has been improved and updated, all physics is wrong and physicists are idiots.
You grew up in a numpty religious family and just can’t let the campaigner on the cross go, can ya’, ya ducking moran!!
You’ve evolved somewhat, but the promise of the everlasting breast of Jeebus just keeps igniting that inner ****ing halfwit.
It’s cool mate, I still luvs ya’s!

Accuse me of anything you want, but not of being religious. That may cause violence.

In other news, you might be advised to consider the idea that science is not (or should not be) viewed as a building linear progression towards greater truth. It should be a process of moving away from the untruth. Which is a very different thing, and happens to be something that modern science is extremely poor at. Thomas Kuhn's work on Structure is quite brilliant on that principle, but is also unfortunately about the toughest book I have ever read.

Forget your so called understanding of scientic method. The modern Scientific reality is that everyone needs to make a splash to get or keep their funding, and to avoid being among the 90% of submissions to the major journals that are rejected for publication because they are not eye catching enough. The resulting abysmal standards are well documented, by the Cochrane Collaboration, and others. Peer review is a bad joke, results that are only a few percent above a coin toss are claimed to be statistacally significant and it is so common as to be routine for studies to seek to demonstrate a preset outcome. Failure of outcomes to be replicated are routinely ignored, most often not even attempted..

Oh please, utter garbage, are you a failed science graduate, where does your disdain and derision have its foundation for the puerile behaviour toward our greatest achievement derive brother.
This is the only story worthy of you dusting off the cobwebs upon the shelf

you both have no testicles
