    The difference between scientists and non-scientists was something I had to learn the hard way coming out of college. I would correct people or provide additional information, thinking that it was interesting and would lead to discussion or a better understanding. Most people just found it as an attack on their understanding or an attempt to correct them to show off. Not really my intent. I generally like it when I'm corrected because it means something I thought I understood could be described better or was misleading.

      Scientists with jobs understand that they need to be right to be taken serious by normal people. That's why they chose to be wrong and say they are right. But it's "ok" because science is "always wrong". Halting science as a scientist is totally worth it, you need the job after all.

There's women on this planet with an additional cone cell in their eye and they're able to see an additional color oh, we can't even comprehend any other color than what we see already. If our brains are that restricted, restricted to basically having to experience something before understanding it, then we're not going to have a lot of answers soon

      It is not in comparison to your coffee for a reason, coffee isn't one of the hottest things in the universe, you may thing warm-hot is similar to how you would describe your coffee but that is because you are comparing it to how you feel it through the nerves in your hands. And to end my rebuttal, I have to say it, physics and astronomy operate on such a fundamentally different scale that you can't even wrap your mind around it!

    • @jc-bo5nf

      And just for some comparison to help you out, one of the hottest things in the universe i'm talking about is about 4000000000255.372 kelvin, just a tad more than 1 million, in fact, its 4 billion since you wouldn't be able to tell. And things con go much much much hotter. In fact, temperatures can go up to 10 to the 32nd power of kelvin, this is the hottest because in the physics we understand today, once it gets any hotter, conventional physics just doesn’t work. Weird things will occur that don't we dont understand currently. Gravitational force becomes as strong as the three other natural forces (electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces), and they will merge together into one unified force. Understanding how this happens is referred to as the “theory of everything” which is the holy grail of modern theoretical physics…something that we currently don’t understand, as said multiple times before.

      I figure I should try to comment here before someone replies in a less polite fashion. I believe the original post was intended to be appreciative of a bit of terminology that is humorous when juxtaposed with ordinary human life, not an attack against the temperature classifications employed by astronomers. If someone were to be leveling insults against our dear scientist friends, I'd be right behind you with the proverbial pitchforks and cold, dark torches, but I don't think that response is warranted here. As a side note, 4000000000255.372 is on the order of 10^12, if I have counted correctly, which would place it safely in the trillions. Anyway, I'll stop taking up all of your time. Cheers.

The computer was not fast enough to draw the digits with each second, so I had to write routines to change a 1 to a 2, 2 to a 3, etc, by era ing and adding digit segments. Changes on the hour, dealing with possibly four digits changing were something to behold. I wrote the program, because on the original Macintosh, there was a clock where one digit morphed into the next. . . something way beyond my capability. But, manipulating x,y coordinates on the screen was instructive, and played a good part in some of my later software efforts.

      I just realized how gullible and sheeplike humans are. People have a history book, amongst other knowledge this book possesses, that contains information about how the Earth and the universe and life was created. But believe this book is factual is to believe that we have one all powerful God who is our authority, and his rules are what we should be following in order to ultimately receive his grace and blessings and eternal life. It seems to me that the only reason we reject the Lord and his words in the Bible is because we as humans want to be our own God, so as we don't want to follow somebody else's rules but ours. Why would we reject this history book from thousands and thousands of years ago only to believe wholeheartedly that we have as humans figured out everything to do with the creation of the universe and our world just within the past 150 years. Millions of people reject God and his authority because we don't want to listen to anybody else but ourselves

      Also because life has different paths creating different minds, some get more involved in science, others might not even heard therefore care of these things, resulting in different beliefs that they protect thus protecting their taken path, knowledge sharing and conversation should help us find our ways, or we could just roast human intelligence alone if that's less of complicated answer to you...

    One very underrated takeaway from this is that it is often easy to think that all the big discoveries have already been made and now most discovery is of smaller things. A moment's thought about basically anything will reassure you that this is far from true, but it's especially reassuring to note that FRBs, hugely powerful radio source events that happen quite frequently in the universe, have only been known about for a scant 13 years. In the history of science, that's really a blink, and it means that we are still very actively discovering the really big stuff. We are FAR from done. :-)

      Well, Derek is describing a romanticized self flattering science, not actual reality. Physicists love to be right and hate to be wrong but it's true that something that violates known laws is very valuable. But that's a further failing of human science because we have such gems like ball lightning and cosmic jets or the fluctuations in G, a socalled constant but people in science are still people subject to the trappings of psychology and personality flaws so 'science' doesn't look at those issues. They are in denial. Dismayed by the far reaching inconvenience. People are so petty in all walks of life. Human science is very far from the ideal he claims here. Some few are rational. And the more taxing the subject the fewer it is. Let me see a show of hands who can handle the UFO topic for instance. And by UFO I of course mean visiting ET ships. Even though the US navy is essentially admitting regular contact incidents nowadays. So don't give me that crap that 'science' is rational. It's people.
