Why do they name their space missions with greek and roman gods names like apolo, artemis, mercury, etc?
cause it's cool
>>16944481I named my GPU farm Ranjesh. Does that mean I think it’s human?
>>16944481It's tradition.
>>16944495>>16944509Faggots
>>16944498It means you shit in the street.
>>16944481Atheism is cringe and uncool, 14 yo neck beard fedora shitI am not a "scientist" but I did study math, physics and computer science, I have a masters degree, I am not an athiest.
They are unironically trying to become God. See this rage comic.
>>16944481Because they’re also huge fucking dorks. Who come up with goofy acronyms for projects or name their kids after their favorite Star Trek characters.
>>16944481It's cool and basedIf someone named their space mission Yahweh I would assume they are creepy vindictive moralists
>>16944550>I am le ebbic agnosticist larping as internet tradcath or some shit
>>16944564they who?>>16944655why do they think it's cool to have greek roman pagan gods names instead of something American like Columbia or Yorker?
>>16944669>pagin bad>>>/pol/
>>16944481scientists arent atheists
>>16944683best ones are
>>16944669>something American like Columbia>Libertas is the Roman goddess and personification of liberty, freedom, and personal rights. >the first picture that comes up is "Columbia" (which is Libertas with a "war bonet").Anon...>>16944670>pagin badMore like "Introductory Coarse/Political-ish Theology".
>>16944699Fuck off.
>>16944702Im just like you, I eat "people-food".See? Its really "sustinance fulfilling".
>>16944713>zyn>exotics dispensarykek>notorious schi/x/o is also a druggieWho woulda thunk it?
>>16944714>notoriousBased.Im in Thailand before China, maybe Russia if plans fall through. If I didnt have weed from time to time I would lose my shit, Ive spent 8+ years living overseas.
>>16944730>i need drugs to function broI am so sick of people like you.
>>16944714>a druggieOh, and I come from an era where that basically means hard drugs, so for you to think that way means youre a reflection of my world.Why is Gen Z not drinking?...same reason. Youre younger, so its all youve known.
>>16944744Don't bother talking to it. It's a bot.
>>16944744Yeah, well, I work 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, its a lot of work macro-managing the world and myself at the same time, as well as find answers to certain "unresolved phenomena". Hence why Ive traveled all over the world.Im tracking it hyper-spacially back in time on many different scales.
>>16944498>Ranjesh>human
>>16944748>Why do they name their space missions with greek and roman gods names like apolo, artemis, mercury, etc?Its one step down from "monotheism" in a wsy that isnt trying for, because when you do it invites challenge.Psychologically, Sociologically, its simple "little i" idolarty, viewing it's relation in some personality or temperment lens, which is real and true...just "bronze age Psycho-Analysis mixed with Genomics (with bloodlines). "The gods" are always real, but its Mono perspective'd.As for capital "I" Idolatry, maybe anothrr time, its far more insidious. It hides in everywhere, no amount of "idol destroying" gets rid of it, they just imediatelly latch onto something else.Social phenomena of keep evolutionary directions coherent over time across...well, the planet. Im in Bangkok and inside a lot of shops it feels super Westernized, and dey be why-peepol eeer'where. I had brunch in a cafe and it was full of 20-something Westerners. A bunch of NORMIES (most of (You)'s here).Im so out of touch with "normalcy" and live an austere and oppressive lifestyle. To "win" or something, I wouldnt remember if I was sober. Doesnt matter.
>>16944481>If scientists are atheists...*this* is a scientist.>greek and roman godsNope...>Protestant tradition, and has often discussed how his faith, science, and military background are deeply intertwined....its JESUS! We spece Jesus now yall.
>>16944661No I am just normal, neither some bitter plebbit fedora tipper nor some tradcath (I am not even christian kek), I do not subscribe to any of the toxic internet larps because I have a pretty much normal social life, I might be posting here but I am not a terminally online hikikomori.>>16944695Nah not true.
>>16944768damnit lol
“Scientists” aren’t atheists. They are a large and diverse group of people all with their individual beliefs. Some are some aren’t.
>>16944784how come the ones naming nasa missions all seem to be grecoroman worshippers then?
>>16944830the empire still lives in their hearts
>>16944830Because they sound nice and evoke feelings of cosmic grandeur.
>>16944850I swear the people who make these memes are fucking gay. Like actually homosexual gay. What the fuck is wrong with them?
Careful now. You don't want them to name it Floyd II, do you?
>>16944481are you legitimately retarded?What are the planets called? they are named after greek mythology. And a lot of stars too. Ergo, there is obviously a cultural theme going on, so space-related stuff tends to get named with stuff that fits. Obviously there are a lot of things in space, so stuff ends up getting called NGC xyz or whatever, but if you're gonna spend a whole bunch of money on a mission don't you want it to have a cool/inspiring/thematic name?
>>16944854only to a paganIsrael doesn't call its projects greek names
>>16944864I'd prefer that to artemisthe state is supposed to be secular
>>16944886>state is supposed to be secularThats why presidents put there hand on a Bible when being sworn in, or court.
>>16944983they shouldn't
>>16944987That was a normal sentiment...10 years ago. Where ya been?
I'm an atheist but I will not shy away from judeo-christian cultural achievements.
>>16944884Israel doesn’t go to extraterrestrial bodies with probes or manned flights so what they do is meaningless.
>>16945027Welcome aboa-...wait, is it AD or CE?
>>16945030the computer you're using right now is Israeli technology
>>16944481The Greco-Roman religion has been dead since the Reign of Justinian so there is no one to offend with this. Naming shit after Greco-Roman deities is a Western traditions that goes back many centuries.This goes beyond Western culture by the way. The Chinese do it as well and most of their space stuff is named after Chinese mythology
>>16945240>Naming shit after Greco-Roman deities is a Western traditions that goes back many centuries.i really doubt they did that in the Medieval period
>>16945240>outed yourself as a Christcuck by using 'dead'Oof. Tough break, little guy. Don't worry, we'll let you sit at the big kids' table as long as you don't be an asshole about your lack of intelligence and superiority complex.
>>16945276Roman LARPing has been a thing ever since the Western Roman Empire fell. That's why there was Charlemange, scholasticism, the concept of virtuous pagans. Even the Holy See views itself as Rome with the leader titled as Pontifex Maximus. It's why there is still January, February, March, April, etc. and not like St. Andrews Month, St. Pauls Month despite how christian Medieval Europe was. >>16945285If you are not trolling, then you are literally a retard. Last time I check there hasn't been any significant following of the Greco-Roman deities since the 500s AD. And no Neo-Pagan LARPers do not count.
>>16945315You have just showed: you have no clue what paganism is; you are retarded; you have no nuanced opinions on religion; you do not belong on this board anywho.
>>16944550You fell for the memes kek. Imagine being that retarded and insecure
>>16944481because most of them are not atheists, they are free masons
>>16945061Kikes are way too full of themselves for frankly petty contributions
>>16945317I doubt a nuanced view of religion is necessary for /sci/ participation you weird fundie
>>16945027>>16945032>AD or CEI rebuke you in the name of Jesus.https://youtu.be/9zBJlLbkfzA
>>16944481The metaphors that link the character to the mission are apt and theists would be doing a sacrilege, so you really need to ask why christian calendars include various greek and roman gods for days and months?
>>16945506>free masonsThey are a type of Eugenics combinations/energy pairings, that cross the Schism divide, also explains their rise during late 19th and early 20th centuries.Several years ago someone posted on /pol/ claiming to be one and said it was more "green/purple pilled", which is that deSchisming. Fighting on both sides until recently, then me and Trump and all the New World Order, where "green/purple" are a lesser spiritual focal point but critical nonetheless. The breaking up of 5-Eyes and rebuilding a new one from different components connecting much more diverse connections. Bibi saying "US and Israel wont be as close in the future." is related to it, because nose-Jews operate on the same "vector", Greater Israel (all the countries Iran attacked).They still has wierd sex shit because its not a "perfect union". None of them are except the one that is.
>>16944481>scientists are atheistsScientists arguing in the 1800s and the names of the two camps are "Vulcanists and Nepunists".:^)
>>16944542no YOU
>>16945674>ScientistsOne was claimed to be an "atheist", to which he roundly denied. Evolutionary Biology cant deny Theology's role in shaping Sociology today, hence Bret Weinstein/Jordan Peterson.
>>16944481Because those plane(t)s are the physical representation of those deities
>>16944481If and only if scientists are atheists then they name their space missions with the names of roman and greek gods such as apollo or artemis or mercury to avoid accidentally invoking a shinto or etruscan god
Science is an occult discipline.
>>16944481aura farming
>>16944481Because they're crypto-polytheists. People can't stay pure atheists forever, soon their minds latch onto something.
Both atheism and agnosticism are naturalist positions thus not creationist positions. Its a TRUE DICHOTOMY NO POSSIBLE 3RD POSITIONBoth atheism and agnosticism are positions of non-positions, the difference is agnostics say they dont have enough information to make the callBoth positions are still in contradiction with 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics>not a single naturalist position is backed by natural science go ahead and name one (you can't)>God is scientifically proven
>>16944481Yeah
They're wrong about that but scienceand philosophy will intertwine.Intelligence is a moral vehicle.
>>16957749>in contradiction with 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamicsNo those only apply to closed containers of static size, not open dynamic totalities.
>>16959302I'm sorry but you're wrong they apply to all systems
>>16944481Why hasn't he simply killed all the heretics and devil-worshipers?
>>16959438No they don't and that is why you couldn't source your claim, you could only repeat it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics#First_law>the conservation law states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant>In a closed system (i.e. there is no transfer of matter into or out of the system), the first law states that...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics#Second_law>When two initially isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium with itself but not necessarily with each other, are then allowed to interact, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium.
>>16944481You do realize its possible to take inspiration from culturally significant fiction without believing said fiction is real.
>>16959870Wikipedia is jewish horseshit anyone can edit. Find some real citationshttps://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0507187"that apply to all systems (both macroscopic and microscopic... including single particle...)." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10530062/"a fundamental law of the universe and its universality can be proven by demonstrating its equivalence across all types of thermodynamic systems (isolated, closed, open)." https://asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1989/PSCF9-89Menninga.html "The Second Law applies to all systems, whether closed or open..."https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7517180/"always and everywhere, at any scale without exception, including life processes, open systems..."
>>16960354Grokopedia says isolated systems too and you aren't citing any textbook definition you are cherry picking random people to cite. You are also misrepresenting and presenting speculation instead of textbook consensus.https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0507187>we present two expositions of thermodynamics (both 'revolutionary' in the sense of Thomas Kuhn with respect to conventional statistical mechanics and traditional expositions of thermodynamics) that apply to all systemsThey are clearly saying that they are presenting a revolutionary version that goes against established definition.>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10530062/"all types of thermodynamic systems (isolated, closed, open)." >This law is generally applied to closed thermodynamic systemIts clearly says the law applies to closed systems and you added "(isolated, closed, open)", which is not in the text, just to ignore "applied to closed systems". https://asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1989/PSCF9-89Menninga.html>Gange argues for a Designer-Creator >The Second Law tells us that for an isolated (or closed) system, the entropy of the system increasesNow you are quoting a young earth creationist contradicting established narratives only for the paper to detail that the established narrative applies to isolated systems.You also cut out: >consideration of the surroundings must be included when dealing with open systemsMeaning you have to figure out how to close the open system before you can calculate equilibrium.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7517180/>useful work-energy potential is always dissipated to heat, and thus thermodynamic entropy (a measure of thermal disorder, not any other disorder) is generated always and everywhere, at any scale without exception, including life processes, open systems, Again doesn't say you can exactly apply the 2nd law, it is saying that heat is still generated and entropy occurs even if there is no final equilibrium because the system is open.
>>16944481They use Greek symbols because Greece used to be highly educated in the ancient times.They use latin words because Rome used to be the biggest country in the world in the ancient times.And they use polytheistic european god names because the polytheistic european Greek and Roman societies were important lol.
>the scientific method doesn't treat faith, intuition, and all that is used to pretend god is real as valid tools to acquire knowledge.>All claims of miracles made up by believers about miracles have been disproven by science.>all the reasons that claim we should believe in god can also be reasons for us to believe spiderman or absolutely anything is real>Instead of accepting that they're wrong and that they have no logical reasons for their beliefs, believers will change goalposts to make it so their sacred text agree with absolutely anything that we can observe in the real world, removing any use for them.This tells you everything you need to know about these disingenuous retards. They act all nice lie to your face, and will never own up to their mistakes like psychopaths.Never befriend a religious person, they will make your life miserable, we should maybe do them a favor and douse them in acid for them to reach paradise
>>16961943>Its clearly says the law applies to closed systems and you added "(isolated, closed, open)", which is not in the text, just to ignore "applied to closed systems".You clearly skipped the part where it says "2nd PRINCIPLE of thermodynamics", then refers to the mathematical law of that principle. Did you expect the paper to violate the law of non-contradiction when it clearly stated it can be demonstrated across all systems?>Meaning you have to figure out how to close the open system before you can calculate equilibrium.Non-sequitur. Give a single demonstration of the 2nd law breaking down under any system>Again doesn't say you can exactly apply the 2nd law, it is saying that heat is still generated and entropy occurs even if there is no final equilibrium because the system is open.Again, show where the 2nd law has broken down under any circumstance
>>16963282>You clearly skipped the partNo I didn't skip anything, "(isolated, closed, open)" does not exist in the page at all, you added it to make the text appear to agree with you when a paragraph later, it explicitly says it applies to closed systems.>Give a single demonstration of the 2nd law breaking down under any systemIf you open up a previously closed equalized system with 1eV of total energy to a fully open system with an unbounded amount of energy, you can never reach equilibrium between 1eV and unbounded eV because the average of those two values would involve a division by infinity that is why you open (unbounded) systems aren't subject to a law about reaching equilibrium and the 2nd law only applies to a closed systems that were isolated from each other while each having their own specific amount of total energy.
>>16944481Because something new has less meaning. It must be the same for matter creation.
>>16963606Retard can help himself but to use context denialAll systems would refer to open, closed, and isolatedAn open system is a transfer of matter and energy, that doesn't mean all systems are not heading towards irreversable disorder
>>16944481If I believed in them why the fuck would i name shit after them it just sounds cool
>>16944481Names of fake gods for fake missions, simple as.
