Christ - I posted it <10 mins ago, and this response... To MY thread?

I think it's time for me to retire, I can't beat this sort of publicity ever again.

I realize that they can only be cautiously optimistic, but the way this was worded made me think that they were saying something like "Oh no, suggesting anything about how our basic assumptions might be wrong goes against the HOLY WRIT OF SCIENCE." I'm not saying they are saying that, but that's my mental image of how they were saying it.

Sorry, never mind me, I'm just amusing myself.

I'm just waiting for someone to seriously say that this finding "proves" that all of science is a lie.
Obviously this is god fucking with us all. Science is a lie, cake is the truth.

Wait. But what will I do with my science-flavored cake recipe now!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Tarran better get his shit together for this, or we're going straight into the sun.
Who says we're going straight into the sun? I, as earth, believe the opposite is true; The sun will go straight into us.

...Dammit, normally I wouldn't respond in a thread like this because I'm far from the most intelligent person and I don't read scientific stuff all that often... but you called my name, so I must respond. Now I'm gonna have this thread all up on my Unread Posts page. D:

Anyway, natural FTL things. Fun.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Oh good now we can send a terminator back in time to kill Justin Bierber's mother before he is born...

There's two kinds of performance reviews: the one you make they don't read, the one they make whilst they sharpen their daggers

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

In other news, people who actually know something about quantum mechanics laugh at this "new" discovery.

Shush Jay, it's not like there's been any developments in physics since Einstein made his theories.

Somewhere, deep in the CERN laboratory, a scientist cries out:

"V-squared equals U-squared plus two AS? Damn it!"

As I understand it, the very nature of quantum mechanics keeps us from knowing very much about quantum mechanics at all.

Goddamn how I hate quantum mechanics.

Which means you actually love quantum mechanics?

To boil it down to an understandable, layman's terms-esque format, at the smallest level we can currently "see", matter doesn't have to exist in only one place at once.

It's impossibly more complicated than that, but I'd rather not get that far in depth.  I'm sure there's plenty of information on the 'webz.  Mind, there's a lot of debate, but it's arguably the only way something could go faster than light, and such theoretically involved here too.

Okay. So we already knew that neutrinos could appear to move faster than light? Good to know.

That depends on whether or not I count as my own observer. If so, I'm locked in the quantum state of hating quantum mechanics. If not, I have no clue whatsoever.
