Have you heard of occam's razor? It's the opposite of the truth resists simplicity. I think the truth resisting simplicity is more true in regards to people, and occam's razor is generally more true in regards to science. Still though, they are complete opposites. Go figure.
The hard part to wrap your head around is the concept of being graded and having your supposed intelligence gauged by a school system whose ideas and theories providing the foundations of the lessons and marking system are all wrong yet we're still made to feel inadequate if our answers aren't deemed "right" . It's ridiculous to cause all this stress in students who strive to be what flawed system has deemed correct when all of humankind has no solid, completely formed idea of what's going on.
hybrid system wouldn't generate energy from nothing. if it used regenerative braking, some of the kinetic energy could be stored rather than being wasted as heat. YOU ARE WRONG!
Well, yes. I think Hank's point here is to highlight the uncertaintiy of knowledge. Also the use of the quantifier, "almost", highlights the fact that this blanket statement has excpetions, and the speaker, Hank, knows that there are exceptions.
it's a paradox. at first it would seem science and math would be the most difficult and language that we use everyday would be the easiest to use and manipulate but upon further examination we realize that science and math can have absolutes while language can not
Great, Hank, just great. You and your brother made Nerdfighteria, you own a website THAT ACTUALLY MAKES YOUR CAREER, and now you're a ventriloquist. Come on!!!

^By the way the wasn't directed at you, it was directed at EVERYONE.
You could learn to use a calculator properly. Division occurs between two numbers, if your numerator and denominator have not been completely simplified, you're doing it wrong. I'm actually going to walk you through this step by step. 48/2(9+3). You see those brackets? That doesn't mean you add the numbers and the brackets magically go away. You can't divide until those brackets are resolved. Literally nothing you can do other than simply and multiply. Correct me please.
No, I laid forth my case previously. I have 5 math courses this year, I do algebra all day everyday. That's why I'm so confident in my reasoning. If I can't dance around fractions then I can't graduate.
When typing in linear division you have to put the numerator and denominator into brackets because the computer doesn't know any better. Did you take math in highschool? People fail tests because of that very mistake. It's actually a lot of trouble to calculate rational expressions because sometimes you might need brackets in brackets and brackets if you have powers and all that.
I didn't admit the calculator is wrong. I said you typed it in wrong. The denominator isn't 2 because 2 is factored out of the expression (18+6). There is no way for 2 to be part of the denominator and not the rest, because the two was factored out of the other expression, and therefore the expression (18+6) was also in the denominator. You can't simply make the factor a denominator of 42 at random. There has to be an association.
I think that, despite the impossibility of a completely self-sustainable amusement park, the idea of adding these fancy-shmancy brakes to roller coasters is intriguing. Maybe the electrical energy they generate could power the roller coaster's lights, or even the cotton candy machines!
The car commercial isn't actually breaking the third law. Because it is not being created from nothing it is being created from the mechanical energy from the last ride then it's being transformed into electrical energy and then into mechanical energy. I'm probably inaccurate but please cut me some slack I'm a freshman in high school.
@synchrogirl978 Um, if it's being powered by the last one, then the last one has to get it's energy from, well, nowhere. It would just be recycling energy that you didn't have in the first place.
@IDontNotHaveAFace Ahh! I forgot to include something. I forgot to say that it would be started off with electrical energy and then they could just shut it off after a while. Thanks for correcting me though!
@synchrogirl978 The only problem with that is that it requires the system itself to never lose energy; this is called perpetual motion, and while it would be really awesome, it has never been achieved (as far as I know, that is -- science is changing all the time).
YOU ARE WRONG. You do not know the difference between good and evil in Lego Harry Potter because it is based on Harry Potter where Snape was prtrayed as evil throughout the first 6.75 books. You only learn of his bravery at the very end of the last one
@grouch314 Snape might not have been "evil", but he was still a bad person. I'd say the major ambiguity is on the demonization of slithering as a whole, and also the SPEW issue.
They won't be space monsters, they will be minute genetically engineered stegosaurus and once I get around to mobilizing my adorable creation you wouldn't have a hope of fighting them.
Hank, I thought you were above using the word Asian to describe someone who is clearly from Japan. I hope you wouldn't call me, an average englishman, European.
So when you are telling us that we are always a little bit wrong, are you a little bit wrong, because then we aren't always a little bit wrong, so maybe you aren't a little bit wrong which would mean we are always a little bit wrong which would mean you are a little bit wrong...Do you see where this is going?
So, I go to an IB school, dunno if you've heard of it, and we have a class there called Theory of Knowledge, where basically, you talk about how we as a species don't know anything. Hank, you summed it up nicely.
Here's how you know someone is a nerd: give them links to a video called "Celebrity's new 'do" and one called "YOU ARE WRONG!" They will almost always chose "YOU ARE WRONG" because nerds try to decrease World Suck, and this mission first requires decreasing your own stupidity. Am I wrong?
@chrantheman for what? if you are talking about the math thing you obviously do not realize the amount of math involved in other sciences, heck even the EXPERIMENTS involve math... so you are stupid for thinking otherwise... also thanks for using the word "idiot" as brain means idiot in the language it was first named in, so you are basically calling me a "brain" via reverse translation.
Roller Coasters aren't usually powered 'much' - they just get the momentum needed to get back to the start from the initial drop. Hence the 'coaster' part of the word.
I know im late, but the commercial does not violate the laws of thermodynamics because they are simply harvesting the friction of the rollercoaster, just like the car. The roller coaster is powering other parts of the park, not itself.
You know the difference between good and evil in lego Harry Potter? Oh yeah, well Snape was evil, then good, then evil, then good, then evil, then good, so... not that simple either. XD
@Double2Edged Snape was always good but he got mixed up in the wrong crowd and took his anger and frustrations out on muggle born witches and wizards. Also being mean doesn't make you evil it just makes you a jerk.
@puertorrriquena I'm not sure, I know a lot of Potterheads have been debating the Snape issue for a long time. IMPO, I think Snape strayed to the wrong side in his youth, and had to struggle to get back. Sure, he was good in the end, but he did stray to the dark side for a short while.
@Double2Edged Yea it's a complex debate. I heard one girl go so far as she thinks Snape loved Potter but I think he just was reminded by his mother and his inability to help her. I wouldn't go on that much of a stretch but I think we can all agree Snape has issues and is complicated
it's weird because i was just thinking about how we as humans don't really KNOW anything we speculate and assume but often there is a bit of falsehood in almost everything today and I thought "hey let's watch some old nerdfighter videos" and I came across this. Love you guys :)
What about "Okham's razor"? : the simplest answer is often the truest
i mean it is true that we will always be slightly wrong, there will always be that little bit of grit in the lines but how often, if we fully concentrate our efforts on finding the truth in something, do we find that all our hard work we have poured into exposing the truth in question has meerly exposed that it was in fact a lot simpler than we thought. Perhaps its our definition of simplicity that needs to be examined.
The truth can never be found because it does not exist. We seek answers all our lives, but none are ever revealed because they were never there to begin with. So shall I say begin? Begin with what? What is now and shall be now forever; truth may as well be memory, something that changes according to the individual who bends and molds it to their liking, only happy memories remain. So shall I begin with my memories?
Some say they are voices, shadows in the head with no logical standing, pages full of meaningless scribbles one cannot seem to be rid of, unpainted histories of one’s unsaid words. These are emotions. People beg the question that it is right to think with just simple logic to obtain the truth or to follow where you’re crazed emotions lead you. I say neither, for none lead to the truth, and nor does a combination of both.
1) That's the 1st law of Thermodynamics not the 3rd.
2) You could get some energy through that from gravity. (Not enough to power the roller-coaster let alone the whole park, but enough to slightly reduce energy usage.)
@LawrenceGordon92 Actually, irony can also be statement or event that is the opposite of what is expected. (We expect truths to be complicated, thus it is unexpected that the aphorism that states so is simple.) See definition 3a. (w)ww(dot)merriam-webster(dot)com(slash)dictionary(slash)irony

What about "Okham's razor"? : the simplest answer is often the truest
i mean it is true that we will always be slightly wrong, there will always be that little bit of grit in the lines but how often, if we fully concentrate our efforts on finding the truth in something, do we find that all our hard work we have poured into exposing the truth in question has meerly exposed that it was in fact a lot simpler than we thought. Perhaps its our definition of simplicity that needs to be examined.

The truth can never be found because it does not exist. We seek answers all our lives, but none are ever revealed because they were never there to begin with. So shall I say begin? Begin with what? What is now and shall be now forever; truth may as well be memory, something that changes according to the individual who bends and molds it to their liking, only happy memories remain. So shall I begin with my memories?

Some say they are voices, shadows in the head with no logical standing, pages full of meaningless scribbles one cannot seem to be rid of, unpainted histories of one’s unsaid words. These are emotions. People beg the question that it is right to think with just simple logic to obtain the truth or to follow where you’re crazed emotions lead you. I say neither, for none lead to the truth, and nor does a combination of both.

But we can get around being wrong by making our answers vague or undefined. E.g. x will act similar to y.

About the commercial...
1) That's the 1st law of Thermodynamics not the 3rd.
2) You could get some energy through that from gravity. (Not enough to power the roller-coaster let alone the whole park, but enough to slightly reduce energy usage.)

Irony consists in stating the contrary of what is meant. So Irony is nowhere near the word. It's not ironic, it's just coincidental.

@LawrenceGordon92 Hmm wouldn't that be sarcasm?

@RoseHath They are basically the same thing just irony is nicer and sarcasm is used often as an insult or just to be rude.

@LawrenceGordon92 Thanks for saving me the time of typing that. Of course, now I've used that time to type this instead. People will call it irony.

@LawrenceGordon92 Actually, irony can also be statement or event that is the opposite of what is expected. (We expect truths to be complicated, thus it is unexpected that the aphorism that states so is simple.) See definition 3a. (w)ww(dot)merriam-webster(dot)com(slash)dictionary(slash)irony
