It's a mixture of naive trust of every thing that leaves any scientists mouth coupled with a complete lack of regard towards subjects that scientists haven't found any proof towards... Experiences are proofs that cannot be quantized, yet they are basically shunned from scientific regard because of that fact. It is a sense of rigidity and overly logical approach.

And don't get me wrong, I love science and the fruits it yields... I just think people go too far with what isn't truly science and is more of a social construct built up around it.




Word. People are so naïve, they think we have fusion now because a big company put out a press release. They think quantum computers can do all these marvelous things because they read a story about it. Maybe some day but not today. Science has been wrong about most things it was certain of historically and we can safely project that many things we believe today will turn out to be much different than we imagined once we learn more.

I got the water boiling one wrong.

I knew it was different depending on the elevation, just wasn't sure which way... I actually answered it right at first then changed it before submitting, knew I should've went with my first instinct.

The only other one that was even remotely difficult was the polio vaccine one, but I used process of elimination.

i got 11/12 :frown:

missed this one:


Denver, Colorado, is at a higher altitude than Los Angeles, California. Which of these statements is correct?

You answered "Water boils at the same temperature in both Denver and Los Angeles."

The correct answer is "Water boils at a lower temperature in Denver than Los Angeles."

Yeah, the water one takes physics know how. In space, with no air pressure water boils at such a low temp that our blood would boil if we were out in it.

I didn't even have to think about most of them, they were so obvious. But to a non scientific person or someone not familiar with optics, astronomy or a few other things might have missed one or two. No shame in that. For example I simply remembered who made the polio vaccine.

12/12 but wth is the astrology question in there? That is not science, in fact it is pretty much the opposite of science.

If you opened a container of water in space, it would boil and cool rapidly until it froze.

Same I miss the question about boiling water (had no idea elevation affected it) and how you measure the louness of sound, decibels wasn't even an option

That was a common sense one...

I mean it takes something small and makes it look bigger, so just look at the light pattern that shows that happening.

Comet is an asteroid, so technically it should count.

Just a science geek since childhood.

Asante, it is also an asteroid but the tail on it and the fact it was icy tips it into the comet category. Asteroids are normally rock or so we think and do not have the tail because they don't come in close to the sun on part of the orbit.

Astrology has as much validity as weather forecasting.
