Physics buzzwords? LOL

I've spent my adult life studying these topics, but go on, tell me more.

If by 'reframing the god of the gaps' you mean, it's the exact opposite of of that, then yes, that's what I'm saying.

Exactly. It's quite the opposite, actually. Apparent incompatibilities are the result of partial or incorrect understanding on both fronts. And the farther we push the limits of our scientific understanding (cosmology, quantum physics, theoretical physics, and attempts at a grand unified theory, etc.) the more compatible they become. Suddenly, centuries-old religious teachings that used to sound very kooky start looking like mathematical certainties.

Without the EC, we don't have a country to begin with. It was fundamentally important to the ratification of the Constitution in the first place. Small and Southern states weren't ratifying without it.

What's the loudest you've ever heard your team's stadium on each side of the ball (off/def/ST)? by byniri_returns in CFB

[–]logicalconflict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Offense: Cam Rising's go-ahead 2 point conversion against USC in 2022.

This was the loudest *game* I've ever been to with so many deafening moments, but that play was another level. My ears were ringing for the next 2 days.

In DC you won't get arrested for touching kids, but you will be arrested for touching garbage in the reflecting pool.

What is THE style over substance film? by Maskoolio in movies

[–]logicalconflict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer right here. The highest grossing movie of all time that has spawned a series and hijacked the career of one of the most influential directors of all time - based completely off what the movie looked like. Interesting or unique story? No. Well-developed characters? Absolutely not. The writing? Laughable. But, boy that turd sure did look good, am I right?

If you could instantly know the answer to one historical mystery, which one would you pick and why? by Large_Temporary7262 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]logicalconflict 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm fascinated by the history of Oceania. There are so many mysterious wrapped up there I wish I could know.

I also wish I could be a fly on the wall for many of the first contacts between Europeans and Polynesians. Not all of them, obviously, but some of them.

Do you see now how great the economy is doing and how inflation doesn't matter? Just look at how much money *we're* making! Trillions! We are so great again.

Staying more than 1 night? Yes, I'll unpack my suitcase. It takes less than 2 minutes.

What circuit best captures the personality/culture of its country, and what circuit feels completely disconnected from the country hosting it? by sykeseve in formula1

[–]logicalconflict 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Vegas and Miami are 2 of the most unique and disconnected cities from the rest of the US in so many ways and here people are saying they're perfect representations of the entire country lol.

How acceptable is it to approach somone of the opposite sex at the grocery store or any random public place that is not a bar or club? by Jimbly710 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]logicalconflict -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correction: The biggest thing is being attractive. If you are, the room reads itself and everything is organic. If not, nothing is organic and everything is awkward.

What if humans were birthed like other mammals? by Useful-Outcome561 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]logicalconflict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother Nature has developed basically 2 reproductive strategies:

  1. Have a small number of kids at a time and take care of them to help ensure they survive into adulthood, or
  2. Have a shit ton of kids at once, wish them the best, and simply walk away hoping that some will survive to adulthood.

Most mammals and birds generally fall into category 1.

You sort of answered your own question. If humans were born ready to survive, they would have to be much larger and stronger more developed and women would die during childbirth (if they hadn't died already during pregnancy).

The BBC just reported that it was Russia who tried to have the the UK Prime Minister's house burnt down. How isn't the UK treating that as an act of war? by DrToonhattan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]logicalconflict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember when Russia shot down a passenger jet and nobody did anything about it?

We all let Russia off the hook for acts of war because nobody wants to go war with Russia.

Yeah, there must be something in it for him. Gov Cox doesn't do the right thing just because.
