Moore's Law of Accuracy

[yedrow]

Blech, another idiotic Athiest strawman argument.

[EcoDimension]

those slides are so funny!

[Underlings]

Good material, as usual.

[GallusSapien]

that pic at 3:37 is wonderfully Orwellian. Freedom is Slavery.

Good video. I may use this argument against creationists, though I imagine they will do their damnest to not understand it.

[ikesbrain]

Along the same lines as this video, I recommend reading Isaac Asimov's letter entitled, "The Relativity of Wrong." (Just Google the title and it should be the first result) It provides a good explanation as to why science is less often explicitly wrong in the past, rather it just becomes more correct as time and technique progress. It uses the change in knowledge of the shape/curvature of the earth as its prime example.

@ikesbrain

My thoughts always return to that letter when people talk of the "shifting knowledge of science".

[Zaunstar]

Hah! This hits very similar themes to my new video that will be coming out on Thursday! All about measurement.

[incoherentpoet]

Science always changes and it also makes things BETTER. If you hate the fact that Science always changes, then go live in a cave because Science and the Scientific method has brought you your computer, your tv, your cellphone, the light bulb, your house, the food you eat, and the clothes you wear.

If you hate Science that much, then go live like Adam and Eve.

[TheDarkSagan]

GREAT VIDEO> Great analogies. Getting fav'd. Keep em coming...

[sambricky]

This an excellent analogy of how science works. But the reality is since tv used to be black and white. And penguins are black and white. It stands to reason that penguins will someday be in color.

[anubis2814]

@sambricky Ooh, color penguins will be awesome!!!

[sambricky]

@anubis2814 can't wait. I just thought that was funny. I knew you would appreciate the humor.

[RushWinRAR]

@anubis2814 That could potentially lead to JaguarJones' being right in his signature statement: "Penguins are totally gay".

[anubis2814]

@RushWinRAR I think that pangolins but yeah lol

[RushWinRAR]

@anubis2814 Oh, wow, you're right, he does say pangolins.

[pedroquintero]

Awesome video like usual, keep it up.

[grieske]

at 0.22: Awesome!

[Elvisdogg]

Here lies Lester Moore

Took four slugs from a .44

No Les, no Moore.

Hilarious cartoon picks!

[billygundum]

WONDERFUL-Y AWESOME

[smartmarlino]

"there might be a god in that fuzzy picture"

I Agree ! because there is no way to prove that another human has a consciousness, we just assume that he has, because he looks, acts, and talks like us - we can relate to that . maybe consciousness can exist not just only in a biological form, maybe in another more simple form, like the weather and the sea or maybe the earth, but we simply can't relate to it, because of our limited perception and thinking abilities...

[RavenBlaze]

oh how I love good research methods!

[bodeezy]

Just great. Favorited.....thanks anubis.

[Danmill23]

This is a awesome video dude. A YT classic IMHO. It's a simple and clear explination of something difficult and abstract.

Well done dude. More power to ya!

[KristoffDoe]

People who make this kind of comments you've mentioned at the beginning of your video are blind to the fact that it was quite often the religion that perpetuated incorrect understanding of the reality - not science, and that it was science who debunked it, of course against great resistance from religion. As if they made a virtue of not changing their mind even if you're wrong, and vice of changing your mind in order to be closer to the truth.

[Lucem2]

Science doesn't always move at an exponential rate or under a "Moore's Law". During the Dark Ages (Early Middle Ages) Science took a long pause.

[eicebleu]

@Lucem2 ...Hm...I wonder why?  :]

[anubis2814]

@Lucem2 Look up Sagan and and the story on Hypatia on youtube. This occurs when scientists don't bother to make science clear and relevant to the common people and superstition takes control like what is happening with the ID movement. Its much easier to control people that way. The Dark ages did have an exponential growth from the knowledge lost but it was at the low end of the parabola and slow to get off the ground.

[Korkzor]

@Lucem2 Well, ye, you have to be actually allowed to do science to make it work and not have it suppressed by an overly stimulated power hungry church.

[Lucem2]

@Korkzor Basically I agree with Anubis' video, but I got the impression that it was explained as a Deterministic phenomenon. So I wanted to point out that Scientific progress is not guaranteed and major events have disrupted scientific progress in the past. Many Great Civilizations have come and go despite their scientific achievements.

[rastarigate]

Your vids are always awesome, dude. Keep up the great work.

[xIntoThePitx]

Won't be long now until SkyNet is aware.

[Scarletpooky]

Many of the thing we used to believe is because religion told us it's true, sometimes using BS science to 'prove' it.

I like the picture example but i prefer the jigsaw one, each scientific finding is a piece and the more pieces we have the more we see of the picture. because we can't see the whole picture we have to form theories about it based on what we can see.
