  1. Alisa Wilson If you're a sexologist you must be able to be open to and able to explain (almost) every part of sexuality. BDSM is something that many couples include in their sexuality and the SM part also deals with whips. That is why (almost) every sexoligist has at least one kind of whip.

  3. +SwiftrunnerXXY You made me laugh incredibly hard. Your statement would be conceivable were it not that a planck length lies around 10 to the -35. What you're suggesting is a singularity that's smaller than the very resolution of the universe, which is preposterous.  An electron has no inherent size because it is a wave function. If you want to know the size of the electron you'd be better off finding the size of it's wave function which is inherently the same as the size of an atom.  Let me be very clear: There is NO singularity being made by electrons.

  5. This video would be considered educational in that it inspires ones mind. Which after all, is better then a million books ;)

  7. That famous experiment you're talking about is called the double slit experiment and deals with light refraction. Light exist as a particle-wave duality. An electron does have some similarities to this but really can't be compared in such a direct way. A similar experiment has been done with electrons that did indeed show a particle-wave duality but you have to remember that all forms of matter show such a duality, even entire atoms.  There is a thing called an electron wave function, this wave function describes where in space the electron is most likely to reside, seeing as its actual location can't be known.

  8. KC Sutherland Actually you can not. Because by observing the electron you change everything and it all goes to shit. It's called the observer effect. Also, you'd like to see a defence for "the idea" that atoms possess a particle-wave duality? How about bucket-loads of research, which you would've found with a 10 second google search. All matter has a particle-wave duality, that concept is one of the corner stones in quantum mechanics; and you can't disagree with facts. But hey if you'd like proof: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v7/n5/full/nnano.2012.34.html http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.083201 http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.83.4229 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10043-005-0363-9 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3104521/ As far as I'm concerned this discussion is over.

  9. Well, when you get so deep in to the science of elementary particles, things get fuzzy, fast. An elementary (also called a point particle) is a particle which has no internal structure, it's not made of anything in the way that protons are made of quarks, it's just that particle. We call a proton a composite particle, these composite particles are far from spatially localized due to the heisenberg uncertainty principle. The wavepacket of the particle always occupies a non-zero volume. With composite particle that isn't really a problem, seeing as that's when you get quantum superpositions of quantum states. An elementary particle however, doesn't have these superpositions or quantum states. Seeing as we describe the size of particles (composite and elementary alike) by the size of its structure, we can define the size of elementary particles to be exactly 0. It doesn't have such a structure because of it's elementary-ness. Experimentally we have found that the radius of an electron is lower than 10^-18 meters (http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cern/29724 - ctrl+f for electron radius) which falls in line with the value we expect exactly 0 to be. It is extremely difficult to explain these concepts in laymans terms without having you take a course in quantum mechanics. A wave particle duality says nothing about what a particle actually is. All it says is that a particle has properties consistent with both. Wikipedia has a fine article on that concept. (Got to eat dinner so cutting it off)

  10. KC Sutherland It's more to do with the concept of wave functions, really. You see, a particle doesn't have a defined place, seeing as in the quantum theory, everything exist of quanta; small little energy packets. This means that they exhibit a wave properties, and gets a wavepacket that has a non-zero volume in which a particle can exist. You can compare this to a drop of water you release in a can, the drop still exists somewhere in the water and you can define the can as being the region in which the drop can exist, but you can't actually know where it is. The wave packet is the can in this metaphor. The thing with wave packets is that you can calculate probabilities of where the drop of water resides. I'd recommend you to read up a bunch on Wikipedia to get a much clearer image of what's actually going on.

  18. Kidding aside though, I don't think he'll be as bad of a president as many seem to think he'll be.

  19. ***** Yeah, I agree with most of your points (aside from the points you make on law related issues). But there's more to it than that. Trump is extremely good at promoting himself, and he's extremely good at campaigning. Saying things that live among primarily the working class (such as climate change is a hoax) gets him votes and controversy, which has eventually won him the presidency. But in the meanwhile, he has a track record of backing action against climate change. He even signed an open letter to Obama and Congress, which can be found here (He's way near the bottom): https://grist.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/nyt.jpg?w=1024&h=1836 So my hypothesis is just that; Trump great at campaigning and even better at controversy, but in the meanwhile he's got an agenda that is a lot more balanced than what he lets on. And Tim: No need to get personal.

  20. ***** Yeah, that's what I'm saying; I think it's all just an act to get people to vote for him, mostly anyway. And it works, because it works on peoples emotions instead of their logic. Appointing people from one of the largest petroleum businesses in the world to energy and environmental protection sounds like a great idea to me, what better way to reduce carbon emissions by these companies than to have them right in the debate to talk about realism. This is probably also a good time to point out that Charles Koch actually believes in climate change but is realistic about it. He believes CO2 should be reduced, but only in ways that make sense and not just methods that end up producing more.

  21. ***** Everyone's in it for the money, that's how the world works. If you have a solution to climate change that costs more than it gains in direct value, it's a bad one. After all, we see noone walking around telling people to not use cars, lights, computers, phones, electricity, heating etc. It's just not worth it. The challenge lies in researching and designing products and methods that are economically beneficial. If a company can spend 2 milion on fitting their roof with solar panels and they pay themselves off in 25 years, most large companies will want them. Decrease the cost to 1 milion and the time to pay themselves off to 10 years and almost all companies will want them. But if you get the panels for free, and only pay a yearly maintenance cost of 10 000 even though they only save you 8 000, you won't want them. I know I wouldn't want them. The key lies in designing solutions that are cheaper, more efficient and have no downsides. If you can't achieve that it's mainly a symbolic gesture. That philosophy is what makes Tesla such a big deal in combating climate change.

  24. No actually, because there's no way to prove conclusively that we're no living in a super intricate simulation, or that the rest of the world isn't made up of robots and props used to make us believe it's real. Indeed, this is all far fetched, but when it comes to absolute truth, any flaw sends it tumbling down.

  28. The subject of adds is always a sensitive topic. Though I believe that everyone that is actively part of Nerdfighteria would gladly watch them for the reasons that are so obviously made clear. The problem I see is that many of us have add block which can't be disabled for a single channel. So I'd say to get some sponsors and add preroll adds.

  41. tbh, I want induction for most things; but induction just can't touch a wok stove. For some things you just want the high heat and ability to lift the pan. It's one of my major frustrations with using induction over the past decade or so.

So... yeah... Get your point, but also, get your vitamins from anywhere you want and don't overdo things 😅
