Now that you know about the sun, do you want to learn about quantum tunneling? http://bit.ly/p7l3gv

@RequiemFear It's a shitty analogy that a lot of people noted, which makes this a shitty video from a physics standpoint. This isn't a fucking football video making a physics analogy.
-
@aluisious It's a basic analogy, get the fuck over it. The vast majority of people don't know the difference between fission and fusion.

@fahdmasud It made as much sense as your comment.
-
@fahdmasud Go ask the One for a sandwich and leave science alone.
-
The sun is not like a nuclear submarine in the sky. Subs are all fission powered and the sun is fusion powered.
Really enjoying how misleading these videos are. What are you, a bored grad student?
-
they must run out of markers alot
-
@jessiifosburg tis the internet mate, everyone has to know more than these people they don't even know.......
-
just asking and hoping for a response, but can quantum looping and string theory both be right?

There's a reason he starts out stating this is physicists math. One day about 7 years ago during a physics lecture the professor paused his calculations, looked at us and said: "Don't let any math students catch you doing integration this way. You'll probably get shot."
