  1.  @shawns0762  Why are the two of you competing for "student with least potential" in your high school yearbook? ;-)

  2. No, not even close. We do have an attention span crisis in high school, though. Students have stopped listening to their science lessons decades ago. I am fairly old but my own high school physics teacher complained to me a long time ago (in the early 1990s) that students had lost interest in hard science as soon as computers became commonplace. The user had replaced the nerd who wanted to know how things work. Now all people want is that they do work.

  3.  @williamschlosser  So you have a relative who will be Trump Junior voter because he believes any bullshit he hears from his creationist/flat earther home schooling parents. Sound of one hand clapping. ;-)

  4. So you can't even deal with consumer devices, huh... ;-)

  5. A laser is a clever application of old physics. New physics in this case would mean something of the likes of supersymmetric fields (sound of one hand clapping) all the way to repelling gravity for antimatter (two hands clapping like mad and loud cheers from the gallery).

  6. A quantum measurement is an irreversible energy transfer. It is a CLASSICAL phenomenon.

  7. Why should she watch bullshit? She is a content creator who creates her own. ;-)

  8.  @vicentegomez2PI216  I have heard that over two billion people believe in a man who was resurrected and then went away and who will come back to resurrect all of us. People believe in a lot of bullshit. I pass on yours. ;-)

  9. Einstein didn't discover anything truly new. He merely elaborated on the logical consequences of relativity, which was already well known to Galileo in 1630. Neither did he discover the photoelectric effect. He simply explained it. The same could be said for Newton. He didn't discover the physics of planetary motion either (that was done by people like Copernicus and Kepler), he merely gave us a rational explanatory framework for it.

  10.  @williamschlosser  That's not new, either. That's just bullshit. Bullshit is as old as mankind. ;-)
