In this forum certain physical theories and its implications are discussed a lot. Quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, spetial relativity are the ones I see the most and most of the time the level of the discussion is frightening.
I really think people should a little bit more of what they are discussing before discussing it. The argument that this is only a public forum and people can speculate is wrong. People that are related to these areas speculate everyday but they do it in a responsible way. Science is always about what you know and trying to figure out new things. And figuring out new things is based on speculation. That the only difference is that in the later case we see a reponsible speculation. Not just some word throwing around like I see in here.
The thing is that for most of the subjects people argue about in here they could do it in a responsible way if just they did a little bit of research beforehand, then thought about it and only then they should discuss it. Please don't get wrong idea from this but I really think this could be much more enjoyable and benefiotial than the usual way. If I'm wrong than I'm wrong.
That being said I founf this video today and found it amusing and enlightening: It's about an hour long and if you like this type of things and have the time to see it then see it.
If in the future I see another video that I consider to be pedagogical I'll post it here too.
