Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
if you write some negative, I'm smarter than this bull on here then you need to get a life and TRY to be half as smart and wonderful as that woman is. THAT ROCKS!
Cymatic theories suggest we're literally held together by sound...so the indetectible white noise she describes may actually be part of the fundamental force that creates matter as we perceive it. I love that they're (theoretically) discovering the sounds of the cosmos...and I agree wit her...it's the same sound that creates us. Looking forward to more cosmic sounds!
jeez, they should name a fallacy after this video.
"Sound: a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations."
gravity is not sound!!!! I can render light frequency into sound too, doesn't mean they ARE sound/music, it's just a "sensory metaphor"
LOL holy shit physics has gone down hill since Newton's time. Space bending? How can you bend nothing? Oh, so space is something you say? Then it looks like the ancients were actually correct in their assumption of an ether existing throughout the galaxy.
@OntologicalQuandary I'm with you. I don't believe in Jew physics either. For example, Einstein showed how lasers could work, but you and I both know that lasers aren't real.
Can't tell if you are trolling or not. Einstein didn't show how lasers work, but as usual just took other people's ideas. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect nearly 20 years before Einstein wrote his little jew paper on it.
"The term "theory of relativity" was based on the expression "relative theory" (German: Relativtheorie) used by Max Planck in 1906"
"Special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein (after the considerable and independent contributions of Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré and others)"
@OntologicalQuandary I love it when people pwn themselfs. SR in 1905 so how could he have copied from what Planck said in 1906? Jewish timetravel maybe?
You clearly don't understand what Einstein discovered and how revolutionary it was. He didn't steal from anyone, he did wall all scientists do: He used what was discovered before him and expanded it.
Antisemitism is a stupid, intollerant and destructive mindset and you should free yourself from it.
Are you retarded? So you just went ahead and ignored the whole second half of what I said? By the way, general relativity wasn't developed until ten years after Planck. Stop trying to defend jews to make yourself feel all liberal and politically correct. Facts are facts and whether you decide to ignore them and label others as an anti-semite is completely up to you.
By the way, how about that brian greene and lisa randall and their string theory? ROFL
@OntologicalQuandary You apparently have no fucking clue how science works. It is cummulative, it is normal to build on other peoples ideas. Go educate yourself you moron. Read some books about physiks and relativity, like the elegante universe by brain greene, then you might understand.
Facts are facts and one of them is that Einstein revolutionized physics. I'm sorry this won't fit in your tiny, hate filled, shriveled brain. There is no jewish science; science is universal and impartial.
HAHAHAHAHA, you are the idiot here. Brian greene is a pseudo scientist, everyone knows that by now. String theory is not real physics. Learn that before you go around trying to lecture on what science really is.
@OntologicalQuandary Fail. If string theory was not real physics, then why is the most expensive scientific experiment in the history of the Earth about to prove you wrong?
Do you really think that such a project would have gotten the green light if you were even partially accurate?
Blaaaaah, you obviously don't know anything about what you are saying. Are you referring to the LHC? Because that has nothing to do with string theory. String theory isn't even testable, but you wouldn't know that because you don't know what string theory is. Plus, how expensive something it is HAS NO FUCKING BEARING WHATSOEVER on if it is good, useful, etc...
I always thought the soundtrack for the universe would be something by Jonh Williams or Vangelis LoL
Interesting idea to give a take on the universe with other senses, not just vision. Ever thought how it would be to perceive other places in the universe with all our senses. Hear the winds of Mars, feel the texture of the Earth's moon, smell Uranus ... sorry, I had to make this joke X'D
I really hope this woman doesn't believe the BS she's spouting because its all infantile and false. Seriously SERIOUSLY dumbed down. For a supposedly intellectual stage, TED really missed the mark with this talk.
She presents absurd speculative mathematical constructs (black holes, big bang, etc.) as fact. Well, they are NOT fact AT ALL. All these concepts have ZERO experimental basis and MANY theoretical flaws. Saying that this talk is absolutely ridiculous and worthless is actually an understatement. As you might know, willful belief in NONSENSE and willful effort in making other people ignorant about something is not a new thing in human history. What a travesty of science. What a disgrace.
@mrkvamaster "black holes, big bang, etc. ... are NOT fact AT ALL. All these concepts have ZERO experimental basis " By experimental do you mean actual experiments that can be done in the lab, or are you discountin measurements of phenomena believed to be associated with suspected black holes and big bang artifacts?
@acr08807 As far as I know, most so called non-standard cosmologies predicted the existence and properties of CMB radiation, in some cases with far greater precision. How is the CMB radiation then NOT proof of all those other models?
@mrkvamaster I'm not aware of any non-standard cosmology that explains the observed angular power spectrum of the CMB. Big-bang cosmology does explain these observation. That's not proof that standard cosmology is correct, but it is very strong evidence.
@mrkvamaster The only flaw in your argument is that you have single-handedly disregard a century of scientific knowledge based upon countless real experiments without reason. Other than that, you have a point. For concrete evidence of black holes see: arxiv[dot]org/abs/1006.0064
@KWalzar So, they look at the motion of stars in the center of the galaxy and they say: There MUST be a black hole in the center, otherwise the things we are seeing make no sense whatsoever, right? Well, you have a somewhat related situation if you look at the rotation curves of galaxies. They just don't make sense until you INVENT dark matter, right? Then if you have dark matter, the whole universe doesn't make sense anymore, so you invent dark energy, which again makes no sense, and so on
@mrkvamaster Scientists did not "invent" these things, they've discovered them. Sure, we are only beginning to understand it all, but that is why we explore. The galactic center BH was not invented, it was confirmed over 16 years of arduous observation. The evidence of DM comes from many unrelated lines of evidence - galactic rotations, cluster binding energy, gravitational lensing, etc. Science is self-correcting. If there's a better explanation, propose it. ps Don't forget to show your work.
It's a dead end, that's all I'm saying. Eventually, this piling up of increasingly nonsensical concepts will lead to the demise of the whole theory, like it did for the Ptolemaic model of the solar system.
@mrkvamaster I have not asked... What is your theory?
At one time, it was also nonsensical for people in Europe, Asia and Africa to believe there were 3 more continents. Examples can be made of long held ideas which turned out to be false or ones which turned out to be true. That is irrelevant to the validity of this argument. Evidence will confirm or deny these theories. DM and DE theories could someday be proven wrong, but they are not nonsensical - unless you don't understand the evidence.
@KWalzar Can you PROVE that there is NO invisible weakly-interacting gigantic cyber-squid monster standing next to you this very moment? If you find this idea nonsensical, surely it is because you're just a fucking moron without PHds in math&physics&theology, i.e. unable to understand the evidence. You see, from your writing I CAN TELL that the squid monster is actually sucking your brains from your skull through a straw this very moment. That's the proof of its existence. Go and disprove that.
@mrkvamaster A PhD in theology doesn't help anyone understand the way the universe works. And science didn't invent dark matter--something that we haven't detect in any other way is causing gravity, so it's there. We just don't know what it is. Science didn't invent dark energy, either. Observations show that the expansion of the universe has accelerated. Whatever causes that is dark energy, so it's there, too. But we don't know what it is, either.
@mrkvamaster Sure I do. Vishnu did it. There's as much evidence supporting that as there is supporting your version (BTW, the Bible doesn't say that God the Father created the Universe, it says that Jesus did it--don't you read the Bible?).
@mrkvamaster A negative cannot be disproved. You have no evidence for your "cyber-squid", therefore it's not credible. The burden is on the person making the claim to provide evidence. If you did, then we can begin an intelligent inquest. Making a claim is not proof. In contrast, there is evidence for dark matter, black holes and dark energy. It is up to scientist who put forth these theories to put forward the evidence. They've been doing that for decades.
@KWalzar Exactly, making a claim is not proof. So far, the evidence for BH, DM & DE is in the exact same category as the evidence for the existence of the "cyber-squid". If you people can't do better that that, just shut up, or get used to the ridicule.
@KWalzar Your pathological gigantic-brain-drinking-cyber-squid denial is actually quite heart-warming and very much expected. Thank you for your links, they are very informative. This idiotic conversation is over.
Science: tells you what to think and what is a fact .. then tells you that YOU are wrong and this is how it REALLY is and how you should think and what is fact lol
Amazing! The Music of the Spheres and the Songs of the Universe are not just poetic ideas without 'substance'. I just posted a video called An Alphabet For Indigo Children 'P' (Peace Project) that is truly 'in harmony' musically with the ideas eloquently expressed here. Thank you!
Meditate to the sounds of the solar system! The site TranscendentalTones offers long-duration tracks featuring the sounds of the planets of our solar system according to Johannes Keppler's observations.
Strictly lightweight....what I've come to expect of TED over the last couple of years....this is what happens when you have too many TED lectures. Harder and harder to find valuable TED presentations.
@hwnzero I think I could shed some light, it is true that SOME atheists do this, they are just antagonists and should be ignored. You are saying all do, that is not true and it is an offensive generalization. As far as insults and anger go sometimes there is no way to be honest with someone without them getting offended and angry, that is no ones fault but the angry persons'.
That is to say that the only way to share a viewpoint will inevitably offend some, this is probably true in general.
Someday children will be watching stars flit past their windows on board interstellar vehicles - we are merely glimpsing the future we will pass on to them.
As much as I find this fascinating, I can hardly stand it. My brain soon goes: "but if our universe was not, there would be nothing" and the thought of that nothing crushes me.
I'll answer for you, because it's obvious you don't.
It's an emerging branch of applied psychology, and it has applications in almost everything from pedagogy to vehicular safety. But I take it you don't like anything worthwhile with practical real applications. You're more interested in the movement of hypothetical entities in hypothetical scenarios, right?
@Individualism101 The radiance of your humility warms me. I would point out that Einstein, who contributed much to the basic presuppositions we now have the luxury to assume, was a prodigious thought-experimenter. Creative play spawns new ideas, some of which become new assumptions. Even to the point of banality. Teflon is a space baby. "Patent nonsense" you say? You have a 21st century education. Is gamification not a confluence of hypotheses applied to the banal?
If you weren't a slave to public opinion you might pause to realise that the talk is about a mathematical model premised on a mathematical model, which essentially boils down to how a set of hypothetical entities in a hypothetical scenario might sound, if, hypothetically, one could hear them.
@authoradamwhittaker definitely wouldn't tell you what my latest publication is, even if you were qualified in my field.
Incidentally, you don't have a refutation to my point. All you are doing is (repeatedly) appealing to the majority opinion, as though this were some sort of magic formula that can get you out of a hard spot.
No, the fact remains that the talk is on a hypothetical premised on another hypothetical, and neither hypothesis is testable. Perhaps try theology next time?
@Individualism101 black holes are not hypothetical. Pretend they are due to the impossibility of direct observation if you like, but they are not. Since this talk did not mention gravity waves I don't feel the need to talk about that.
So you've managed to decide I am unemployed, a slave to public opinion, ignorant of scientific method. All ad hominems. Sad really. Are you a Scientologist? You act like one.
@hwnzero I take it that you are religious and you are trying to defend your side, which is fine. Now, if you read again my comment, I specified creationists, which have demonstrated their ignorance over and over, especially when it comes to the age of the earth, let alone the age of the universe. (read between lines: all creationists are religious, but not all religious are creationists)
That "song" has not been heard in any experiments, maybe LISA will be able to detect something, but the earth bound experiments will at best be good for verification. They should save the $ for LISA.
I enjoyed this, but it felt a little unTED like. A thought experiment, with what could be confused for real data. It's an interesting hypothesis that seems logical and easy to understand. It does seem like an idea that is so digestible that it could be considered true. I hope people will question and look hard before coming to a conclusion. That being said, it is commendable to be progressing with an idea like this and i look forward to hearing more, about "Lisa" ect.
@dylanlawless1 Everything she said is accurate according to our current findings, this presentation was for people who have studied college level astronomy, maybe thats why you think it's untedlike.
@atheistkyo perhaps, or maybe you should get off your high horse and try understand my point before you start conjecturing about what i know and do not know. I have no intentions to refute any of the information. I was mearly modulating my opinion of how it was adduced.
@dylanlawless1 Everything you know or think you know about astrophysics IS a thought experiment. Our tiny snapshot of time cannot explain what we know. We extrapolate known data thru thought experiments. How do you think they get to launching a project like Lisa?
A bit weak at the end but otherwise a great talk. One thing never explained is why an "audio-ization" is better than a visualisation... The one animation she had seemed much more useful than the noise she was playing.
i thought the universe would sound like dubstep. : (

Amazing! The Music of the Spheres and the Songs of the Universe are not just poetic ideas without 'substance'. I just posted a video called An Alphabet For Indigo Children 'P' (Peace Project) that is truly 'in harmony' musically with the ideas eloquently expressed here. Thank you!

@hwnzero I think I could shed some light, it is true that SOME atheists do this, they are just antagonists and should be ignored. You are saying all do, that is not true and it is an offensive generalization. As far as insults and anger go sometimes there is no way to be honest with someone without them getting offended and angry, that is no ones fault but the angry persons'.
That is to say that the only way to share a viewpoint will inevitably offend some, this is probably true in general.

@Individualism101 coming from someone into gamification?
quigonngaijin 1 year ago
@quigonngaijin Do you even know what gamification is?
I'll answer for you, because it's obvious you don't.
It's an emerging branch of applied psychology, and it has applications in almost everything from pedagogy to vehicular safety. But I take it you don't like anything worthwhile with practical real applications. You're more interested in the movement of hypothetical entities in hypothetical scenarios, right?
Individualism101 1 year ago
@Individualism101 The radiance of your humility warms me. I would point out that Einstein, who contributed much to the basic presuppositions we now have the luxury to assume, was a prodigious thought-experimenter. Creative play spawns new ideas, some of which become new assumptions. Even to the point of banality. Teflon is a space baby. "Patent nonsense" you say? You have a 21st century education. Is gamification not a confluence of hypotheses applied to the banal?

authoradamwhittaker 1 year ago
@authoradamwhittaker this message.
If you weren't a slave to public opinion you might pause to realise that the talk is about a mathematical model premised on a mathematical model, which essentially boils down to how a set of hypothetical entities in a hypothetical scenario might sound, if, hypothetically, one could hear them.
As I said earlier. Rubbish.
Individualism101 1 year ago
@Individualism101 I'm a what now? How do you know that then? Oh, yeah, you made it up.
The problem you have is that you equate 'hypothesis/hypothetical' with 'rubbish'.
So, your latest publication is...?
authoradamwhittaker 1 year ago
@authoradamwhittaker definitely wouldn't tell you what my latest publication is, even if you were qualified in my field.
Incidentally, you don't have a refutation to my point. All you are doing is (repeatedly) appealing to the majority opinion, as though this were some sort of magic formula that can get you out of a hard spot.
No, the fact remains that the talk is on a hypothetical premised on another hypothetical, and neither hypothesis is testable. Perhaps try theology next time?
Individualism101 1 year ago
@Individualism101 That's nice. There can be no refutation to a false premise. You've decided it's all hypothetical. That means nothing.
So you're obviously not qualified in anything.
authoradamwhittaker 1 year ago
@authoradamwhittaker You're not worth the time of my unemployed brother, much less mine.
Which of the following are, in your glorious, utterly ridiculous, opinion, not hypothetical entities:
blackholes, gravity waves.
Come on genius, explain it to me.
Individualism101 1 year ago
@Individualism101 black holes are not hypothetical. Pretend they are due to the impossibility of direct observation if you like, but they are not. Since this talk did not mention gravity waves I don't feel the need to talk about that.
So you've managed to decide I am unemployed, a slave to public opinion, ignorant of scientific method. All ad hominems. Sad really. Are you a Scientologist? You act like one.
Still no publication?
authoradamwhittaker 1 year ago
@hwnzero I take it that you are religious and you are trying to defend your side, which is fine. Now, if you read again my comment, I specified creationists, which have demonstrated their ignorance over and over, especially when it comes to the age of the earth, let alone the age of the universe. (read between lines: all creationists are religious, but not all religious are creationists)

Why do we need to limit the universe to our ears spectrum?
Does it have to make a banging sound to impress us?
Sound is nothing more than pressure differentials... and our ears can only take so much...

I enjoyed this, but it felt a little unTED like. A thought experiment, with what could be confused for real data. It's an interesting hypothesis that seems logical and easy to understand. It does seem like an idea that is so digestible that it could be considered true. I hope people will question and look hard before coming to a conclusion. That being said, it is commendable to be progressing with an idea like this and i look forward to hearing more, about "Lisa" ect.

@dylanlawless1 Everything you know or think you know about astrophysics IS a thought experiment. Our tiny snapshot of time cannot explain what we know. We extrapolate known data thru thought experiments. How do you think they get to launching a project like Lisa?
