90% of Americans believe at least one conspiracy theory (1 Viewer)

There's a "Science" thread for that kind of thing!

It hasn't been peer reviewed so I hesitate to call it science.

One good thing I can say about Ms. is Cameras can't be used to issue a ticket for a moving violation. They can only be used
to issue tickets for expired tags and no insurance. I'm fine with that.

These below are perfectly legal as far as I know.

Yep, my husband proves the moving violation, or lack of, every time he's on hwy 98. The color red automatically becomes yellow in his mind.
He will defend the heck out of it too

It's also based on a "Law" of "Infodynamics" which is something he "discovered." So in other words it's all BS.

I’ll admit that sometimes the light is orange when I go through it.

It's also based on a "Law" of "Infodynamics" which is something he "discovered." So in other words it's all BS.

There are a growing contingent of reputable scientists that subscribe to the possibility that we are living in a simulation, including Elon Musk and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Also, Vopson did not "discover" "Infodynamics." The research field of information dynamics (infodynamics) has conceptually been around since the 40s. The idea that information has energy associated with it and thus the thermodynamic principals of entropy apply goes back to the 60s. Numerous papers have been published in the 80s and 90s about biological information dynamics, entropy, thermodynamics of ecological succession and evolution and mathematical modeling of life as a manifestation of the second law of thermodynamics.

Vopson is not the first person to coin the phrase "infodynamics" nor is her the first one to equate Informational Entropy to the second law of Thermodynamics. Stanley Salthe wrote a book called "Understanding Complexity" in 2001 that has been used as text for upper level Computing and Information Systems courses at various colleges where he defined Infodynamics and discussed the entropy of information and data storage.

Vopson didn't discover it, but is the first to use this law to substantiate claims that we live in a simulation. Infodynamics is absolutely not BS, and while I will stop short of saying we live in a simulation, I will say there is data that suggests it, and highly intelligent well-educated scientists believe it to be a possibility.

I prefer to believe it but, as an agnostic, I like a little more info before buying in.

Elon Musk is not a scientist, he's a severely mentally ill weirdo. And Tyson is a pop science commentator with absolutely no meaningful academic contributions to any real STEM fields or disciplines. His biggest accomplishment is running a planetarium and sniffing his own farts on Twitter.

Don't care if we live in a simulation or not. It doesn't matter. But those two are intellectual bums who should not be cited for anything

The conspiracy theory I've come to belive is that Terry Fontenot is secretly working on destroying the Falcons from the inside.

As my proof here is this ancient artifact I stumbled upon earlier today...

Professor Nick Bostrom is probably a better example of crazy smart people who argue the simulation theory

Elon Musk is dumb as a bag of hammers

Musk has a Physics degree from Penn, and was accepted to a highly competitive Energy Physics PhD program at Stanford. Sure, he may be a mentally ill weirdo (He has Asperger's syndrome) but that doesn't mean he's not highly intelligent and well educated in Science. He's driven tons of research for battery storage, rockets, among other fields. As a person with a Bachelor's in Science, I am comfortable calling Musk a scientist, he is definitely an innovator.

DOCTOR Neil deGrasse Tyson has a Bachelor's in Physics from Harvard, Master's in Astronomy from Texas, a Master's in Astrophysics from Columbia and a PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia. He did 3 years of post-doc research at Princeton researching galactic structure and evolution. He founded and chaired the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, Taught Astronomy at the University of Maryland, He has 13 peer-reviewed publications, has written 20 books about astrophysics/the universe. He was a published columnist for a decade for both the Natural History Magazine and StarDate magazine. He has twenty honorary Doctoral degrees from prestigious colleges including the likes of Yale. He's been awarded dozens of honors and awards including the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal and the National Academy of Sciences' Public Welfare medal. He served on Persident Bush's Commission on Implementation of US Space Exploration Policy and he didn't just "run a planetarium" he oversaw it's $210M reconstruction project.

I'm very curious as to your CV, as it must be very impressive as to dismiss these two men who have 6 degrees between then, and their names are widely known world-wide, as "intellectual bums." That statement was so bad it should have been on the SSF on gameday.

So you're saying both of these men are more reliable than "Bill Nye the Science Guy" who has a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering

If I was the designer of US currency and coins, I totally would troll conspiracy theorists with stuff like this. Lmao.
