How can science even compete?

Has science and physics ever been so completely BTFO by a single piece of hardware as in this case, Veeky Forums?

It's literally just a copper tube with a metal plate at the end, and yet it's completely blown apart centuries of understanding.

What went wrong, Veeky Forums?

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this thread gave me cancer anyway.

They thought a guy from the 17th century was correct.

Allow me to play double advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like its a peach of cake.

Black powder and firearms are only 800ish years old.

Nitrocellulose is easier to produce than black powder and is only slightly more than a hundred years old. The Greeks could have built electric motors if they knew how.

Its not surprising that we've overlooked technologies that seem simplistic in retrospect.

Also brainlets love to appeal to authority and worship their memorization of Copenhagen physics.

You know, it's a funny thing.

I consider myself Kinsey 6 homosexual. I have literally never felt physical attraction to a woman. When I was a baby, I nearly starved before my parents figured out they'd have to use a bottle because I wouldn't touch a breast.

When I went to school, I literally was unable to see girls. Every day, I would go to class and look around and wonder who all the empty seats were for. I thought the other guys were crazy because they sometimes had arguments with thin air.

When I went to high school, I joined the football AND swim teams so I could spend more time in the locker rooms. It wasn't really the nudity-- I had porn-- but the *smell* of the dicks that I was going for.

That's why, in the Navy, I took laundry duty every chance I got. I fantasized about our instructor taking me in, adopting me, and having me as a live-in maid.

Naturally, I picked up AIDS somewhere along the line. Some seedy bath house, I guess.

Right now, I'm teaching a men's rights class.

Yet this post and its poster is somehow gayer than me.

Reported. This board is for science, not tinfoil fueled occult nonsense.

Wasn't sure where you were going with it. But I like this pasta.

that was beautiful

The road not taken

Why so many of these threads? Is it working?

>what went wrong

Great discoveries tend to happen in garages and backyards

Nothing has gone wrong

>sensible chuckle

So a peer-reviewed paper about a new invention is "not science"? Damn Veeky Forums is salty

Check google (yes)

>tinfoil fueled occult nonsense

It's magic dude.

Andrew Wakefield published peer-reviewed papers.

You're aware that peer-reviewed is necessary but not sufficient, right, you subnormal cunts?

Andrew Wakefield got screwed. It's not over.

paper was just published by nasa and peer reviewed.
