The reason why people like Tyson, Kaku, and Hawkings are highly regarded is because they are individuals who are well-versed in these specific fields. Also, as scientists, there will always be room for improvement with each thing. Charles Darwin had some ideas relating to evolutionary theory which couldn't be put into practice, and yet decades later, almost all of his theories have been shown to be correct.
Instead of taking an intellectually dishonest position, I'd suggest you read into the field of science. People like the individuals mentioned have contributed to curb disasters like the Fukushima incidents, rivers, and also the known universe in case people might really want to explore beyond the universe. So, keep your anti-intellectualism to yourself if you cannot contribute to the thread.
It is nonsense. They make their pronouncements, then later on discover that some element of their theory doesn't make sense given new information or developments and then they release some new theory and so forth. Rinse and repeat. I have no issue with scientific discovery. I do however have an issue with non-believers being shunned. Guys like Tyson,Kaku, and Hawking's words are taken as gospel and subscribers to their ideas or the ideas that these guys are supporting will argue in support of them until they are blue in the face. I'd prefer if these geniuses put their resources and brain capital into solving the Fukushima crisis or perhaps solving basic traffic issues. Fix what can be fixed and save the theoretical BS for the weekends. Higher dimensions, to me, are nothing more than ideas that are utilized to solve real world problems.
False analogy, kiddo. Science isn't something based purely on speculation, in which many people falsely claim. There's a little thing called the scientific method, which helps provide factual information towards that scientific theory. Which is
NOT the same as your everything usage of the word theory.
Your post is baffling and rubbish beyond reproach.
So much of the science community is taking all this extremely speculative shit way too seriously. It's no better than believing the high priests of a religion.
Multiverses? Dark energy? They basically just make shit up to fit holes in their theories
This is perhaps one of the dumbest posts I've seen in this thread and waste of binary too. First, I'll reiterate the difference between scientific theory and everyday usage of theory:
A scientific theory has been tested repeatedly and is correct for all observed results.
A common theory (as used in everyday language) is just a guess.
Do you understand what scientists usually have to undergo? As explain above, scientists would have to utilize this thing called the scientific method. I'm sure you remember this back in grade school. It's the pinnacle to prove something to be factual. It's not JUST a theory. Rather, a collection of information factually observed. Need a refresher? Here's a picture...
Theories are not facts. You or anyone else should not be presenting them to the public until you have actual proof because it would not be the first time that a theory was found to be false(Phlogiston Theory and Einstein's static universe.) Any one with a real scientific brain and understanding of history would be able to think back to theories that were found to be false. You can formulate them in private but do not present them to the public until you have actual proof. Too many people can wrongly interpret them as facts. When the next day, just like Einstein's static universe, they can be found as pure nonsense.
That's exactly how I feel. Being too quick to dismiss something as basic as scientific inquiry only shows that the black community is woefully ignorant on subject matter. Kind of ironic on archangel's part because he relies on certain theoretical ideas via his computer programming techniques.
This thread proves how difficult it is to get black people to think about anything that isn't right in front of their (frequently ignorant) snouts.
