Removed Comment The question was: if we all stopped eating meat tomorrow, would it be enough to avoid a climate apocalypse? The answer is: no. Get off your high horse. This is a typical holier-than-thou attitude. Telling people that they can stop climate change by going vegan is the moronic take here. The power to stop this is not in the hands of individuals, and the myth that it is has been propagated since the last century by oil companies. Recycling isn't enough, cycling everywhere isn't enough, eliminating meat from your diet isn't enough. **The only thing which will avoid climate apocalypse is eliminating fossil fuel use.** by crapwittyname@feddit.uk

Removed Comment Holy fuck, what an absolutely moronic take. In case the last shill and idiot hasn't heard the shot yet: we need to stop ALL CO2 emissions where they aren't necessary and unavoidable. Meat consumption (in the current industrial scale) is. Even 6% of the current CO2 emissions are substantial amounts. The yearly global emissions are 35 billion tons, so 6% are still 2.1 billion tons. 2.1 Teratonns. That matters. That is an amount that could tip the scale towards one of the tipping points in either directions. "It's only x percent" stops any and all ambitions to do anything about this. I'm sorry, but this question and answer read, to me, like intentional misinformation. Get your fucking facts straight and realise that we have to get rid of all unnecessary emissions. I realise that it's improbable that we'll get rid of animal husbandry alltogether, but balancing the global diet towards more plant-based food, and using low-methane feeding stocks for milk- and meat cows are necessary steps. Reducing the current co2(-equivalent)-output of our livestock all along the lifecycle (feeding stock, grazing grounds, logistics) is paramount to weakening the ongoing climate catastrophe. And the value of single points of actions cannot be measured in the slice it takes up in the pie chart, but by how many tons of co2 it saves. /rant Edit: for sources and shit check the people's answers that were not absolutely the fuck triggered by this bullshit fucking excuse for a hot take by PatrickYaa@feddit.org

Removed Comment I have a PhD, I work at a university. So you could take my course. But you would have to be able do the maths, and understand some physics. Difficult, I know, but thems the breaks. Weird that the truth isn't a democracy though. I don't think physics would have got anywhere if all that mattered is what is "highly regarded". The case of Thomas Young is very instructive in this regard. by Wigners_friend@piefed.social

Removed Comment >I have a PhD, I work at a university. Oh well that certainly explains the condescension and the poor communication skills.

Removed Comment Argument coherence and the truth of facts are unrelated (I would also recommend reading previous posts).

Removed Comment >English comprehension fail, no I didn’t. You articulated a standard of falsification that would render it impossible in all cases. >I said you can’t prove other works exist or not if you can’t access anything other than this universe’s information, which is true, Yes actually, you can, as I already explained. You only response to that has been to simply restate "no you can't!" >You think “the laws of physics” state there’s only one outcome for every trait of a radio wave or excited particle? Because that’s what your statement here means. We’re talking about how everything is a cloud of possibilities and you want to tell me now that every trait and path is predestined? That’s just wrong. I'm not sure what exactly it is you think I was saying, because this doesn't remotely resemble it. >Because reality is not objective, duh. Actually, it is. That's kind of foundational for science. If you're going to straight up reject physical realism then you can't really talk about science at all. >I was being polite. No, you were being quite rude. >Show me the experiment, and this time don’t just link any old shit in the hope I won’t read or understand it. I provided you with literal peer reviewed physics papers. What the fuck is wrong with you? >Despite my words, I know what I know, and you don’t get to condescend to me without proving me wrong. Which you haven’t done yet, due to the aforementioned failures in your English comprehension. Ok, I'm done. You are an arrogant jackass with no interest in truth or science by BrainInABox@lemmy.ml

Removed Comment >It’s a mildly different interpretation of the same math Claiming that quantum physics is actually wrong and it's actually just Newtonian mechanics is a bit more then "a mildly different interpretation" >The “many worlds” idea is not scientific consensus. Go read about interpretations of quantum mechanics from sources other than Sean Carroll. I never said it was, so maybe you should actually read the comments you're replying to before behaving like a smarmy dip shit. >Both the double slit experiments and quantum tunneling emerge when you apply quantum statistics to any point particle following Newtonian mechanics. Show your work. I asked for specifics >Superpositions are a mathematical tool for describing the statistics of potential measurements. So much for "mildly different interpretation of the math".

Removed Comment I welcome a discussion. To be honest, I had to object to someone saying they were fair & balanced in their own honest opinions. I am quite sure we all would like to believe we are. Absolutely and without a doubt. However when I mentioned (To this individual, my favorite bartender in the world) my disapproval of Joe Rogan. He says that Joe gives everyone an equal voice. I do not agree with that statement. I don’t think that perspectives that are contrary to known science are worthy of the platform given to them via a most listened to podcast. There is enough stupid in the world & if someone polishes a turd long enough, some stupid mf’er is gonna buy it. It’s about listenership not deep perceptions. by 6stringringer@lemmy.zip

Removed Comment Great question. That’s all I have. Gonna be trusting folks that have worked in this field and have an extensive an incredibly qualified viewpoint from vast sources around the planet. That and there is an applicable physics understanding that honestly has no known bias. Sure, there are some varied hypothesis and theories within the scientific community. Ultimately, the actual science just is. It don’t care about your feelings. I do because I’m a human being. I hope you are having a wonderful day. But if for a moment you are peddling pseudo science, I want to make one thing clear, keep up the bullshit & Ima take you to the edge of the planet and throw yo’ ass of the edge. Try me. I will work on crowdfunding this project. I’m taking your dumb ass up in a big fucking jet & we are gonna fly the goddamn planet until we reach our point of origin from the opposite direction. by 6stringringer@lemmy.zip
