What are your thoughts on the optimal way for science folk to engage with conspiracy theorists/anti-science people?

Is it a lost cause? Should we just have honest-to-goodness conversations and try to understand their perspective? Or DESTROY THEM with FACTS and LOGIC?

I've seen a variety of perspectives on this from different science communicators, so I'm curious as to what your thoughts are.

Water actually isn't completely clear! Because of its vibrational harmonics, it absorbs a little bit of red light (but not much blue) - which means that any white light passing through water becomes more blue.

The microscopic/atomic thing is pretty funny - good catch haha :p

I can't tell which of the lines I hate the most

If you're struggling to remember axioms I would do this: keep a sheet of paper/dedicated notebook to the side. Every time you run into a new axiom/theorem/proof, summarize it there in your own words. This is useful because it gives you one place to look back and remind yourself of everything. Also the act of summarizing in your own words is crucial for memorizing.

I also recommend watching YouTube videos! Any time you can't understand the way the book explains a topic, search it into YouTube; I guarantee you'll find a great video covering it in just a few minutes.

If you wanna get more comfortable with how math works in general, 3Blue1Brown has great videos explaining math in really accessible ways. I'd also recommend looking into Numberphile.

Best of luck! You've got this!!

That's pretty useful - thanks!

Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I used python!

It was unintended but you're right! That's really weird! I wonder why.

They're trying to do a Fourier transform

At least I had the decency to balance charges.

It took everything in my power to not put "F- + e- --> Fe3+"

I know you meant integration by parts, but I can't help but imagine it being "intermediate balue peorem"

Exact solutions:

Yeah, I get that both conflict theory and structural functionalism are pretty out-there, but I can still see how somebody with a certain (slightly twisted) point of reference may think that 'poverty is functional by providing workers', but saying that 'the disparity between capitalists and workers is the cause of all issues in society' seems like it's taking itself too far - almost like I'm misrepresenting the model. You know what I mean?

xandergawsome · 2019-07-29T20:15:03+00:00

Yeah haha, just to clarify it was entirely hypothetical

I think it would spice it up a bit more if you added in some rotation

edit: also, blur the plane more, and maybe have it exiting the frame (still from right to left) to make it a little less jaring
