will science ever be able to explain why does the pencil bend when you put it in water?
>>

The pencil gets soggy like a wet noodle when you put it in water which makes it bend. This isn’t rocket surgery

Can science ever explain this?

>>16795003
why is it stiff when you put it out though?
>>
>>16795007
Good question. I'm only used to things being stiff when you put it in
>>
>>16795007
It’s not in the water anymore so it’s not wet and floppy

Water is special, all life comes from it. All souls come from water. If you put a pencil in, you stab the souls inside. They want to get it out. The souls pushing the pencil which cause it to bend. I learned this from my local voodoo priest.

Uh, yeah, it's known as light refraction in this "science" called Physics. Water medium has a different density than air so that's why lightwaves change direction (although photons are supposed to be massless and can behave both as a particle and a wave, so I don't understand why a medium's density would impact that, but that's how it is understood).

>>16795236
No, i don't believe you.
>>
>>16795001
This is an unsolved problem. If you solve it you get a noble price.

even dumb fish are smarter than anons ITT

>why do waves change direction when in water?
>uuuhhhhhhh the maths say so
>okay but what's the reason light bends?
>uuuhhh just do the calculations and you get the result that it bends
>why does the bending of the light follow that equation you just used?
weeeell, I did the calculations and this equation happens to give the right result when you calculate, so I guess that makes it right
>I saw in your calculations you have the parameters n1 and n2, where did you get those parameters from?
>they were the only numbers that made my equation work, they don't have real meaning
does nobody notice the circular argument? the physical phenomenon follows behaves the way it does because the maths say so and the maths are right because it reproduces the results seen when measuring the phenomenon

not to you, no.

So the fish knows where the fly is because it knows where it isn't?
>>
>>16795001
Same reason as why it gets all rubbery when you wiggle it.
