The retards responding to this as if Feynman did something wrong are exactly the reason faggots like Nigger deGrasse Tyson and Billy Nye the Tranny Guy get away with their stupid bullshit. Most retards want simple answers delivered with with confidence in an easy to swallow package instead of having to actually think about shit that isn't so simple.

The worst offender these days is actually Joe Rogan, who talks to real scientists who try to explain shit to him, he goes, "Wow maaaaaaan, that's heavy", like he's really enthusiastic about learning 'the muh science', but never lifts a finger to actually learn any of it. So the next episode he's being told total bullshit by some total pseudoscientific mystic retard and says, "Wow maaaaaa, that's heavy". He makes zero progress to learning shit over time because he just wants to be 'muh amazed' about 'muh science' factoids instead of actually using his brain to actually think, figure shit out, and put it all together.

It's why retarded women would rather read their horoscope than understand how probabilities work. Why they buy into total bullshit like the 'muh paygap', instead of doing the actual math and realising that's not how averages work.

I'm not even the biggest Feynman fan, and he sounds like Ed Norton from the Honeymooners to me, but he does know what he's talking about. He's not avoiding the question, it just sounds like it to retards who want a 'simple' Rogan-level answer.

Feynman just doesn't give much of a fuck about your feelings and is just trying to be accurate. This is not the same as NDT who just wants to sound smart.

If you do understand shit you're familiar with people wanting oversimplified answers. Again it's like a fucking woman on the sinking Titanic wanting to be reassured that she's safe, when in reality she's not even close to safe. You know exactly what's going on, the dangers and the probabilities, but she just wants to be lied to with confidence to feel better.

They're just priests of Sciencism. You can't remove religion from humans, it's just part of our innate mindset. So either you get

Feynman is not even actually hostile, he says "it's an excellent question", he's just trying to convey that's it's genuinely not a simple answer, (unless you want to introduce inaccuracy with oversimplified analogies). So it depends how deep you want to go.

>How does gravity work?
Do you want the simpler Newtonian version or the actual more accurate Einsteinian version? You're totally up on spacetime, higher dimensions, relativity, and field theory, right Mr. Rogan?

It's like someone who doesn't know shit about sports asking you if Aaron Judge is going to hit a home run on the next pitch and demanding a yes/no answer. You try to tell them it's not that simple and try to explain probability, batting averages, the southpaw pitcher, his recent form and injuries, and they are like, "No, no, no, you're a Sportsentist - just tell me the answer! Why are you avoiding the question?! Why are you overcomplicating it and triggering me with your arrogant hostile tone? I guess it's because you don't really know anything. I'm going to consult some bitch with a crystal ball instead because she gives me confident nice sounding answers that don't confuse and upset me".

One way to sort the men from the boys when it comes to science or academia in general is how careful fags are when they speak. Technically nothing you say should ever be provably wrong at a later date. You can have a high confidence in shit, but you'd never deal in unwarranted Sith absolutes.
eg. You see a distant barn that is red, and state that you know it is red ON THIS SIDE. It could be white with pink polka dots on the sides you can't see for all you fucking know, while not being a fag and admitting the whole thing is PROBABLY red based on normal ASSUMPTIONS.

That correctly formulated and perfectly coherent statement can never turn out to be wrong, unlike NDT and Nye's politically motivated absolutes and general faggotry. It's what makes them obvious non-scientists and retards.

One of the gayest plebbit things this faggot does is say things as if he's just at that moment figuring it out in his head, but it's just shit he regurgitates every interview by rote.

Like he'll repeatedly say that the Redbull faggot who jumped from 'the edge of space' was "abouuuuuuut twooooo millimetres" above the Earth globe he's holding. But he'll affect the same manner of saying it, and sometimes give the same figure even though the size of the globe he's holding is significantly different in size.

No. The Black Science Man is just trying to appear smart by emulating the way actual scientists talk. It's like the difference between postmodernism waffle and actually conveying actual ideas. It's just trying to sound smart by using big words and waffling shit in a superficially similar manner to how actual science has big words, (but they actually objectively mean something and can be broken down, explained, and understood).

You can tell the difference when you do understand just like you could using jargon from a field you do understand. If a mechanic used the word 'carburettor' and you asked what that was, he could break that down and explain it - even if its purpose and function isn't immediately obvious to you. If you had a 'postmodernist mechanic' they'd not only use it incorrectly in a meaningless way, but the more you asked them about what it actually means, the more complicated and vague they'd get about it in an 'Emperor's New Clothes' kinda way - needlessly introducing more of their gay words in an attempt to confuse and appear smarter than they actually are, when they don't even know what they're talking about.

It's hard for normies to know the difference, because superficially it appears similar when it's legitimately necessary to understand another concept to understand the explanation, (like air-fuel mix ratio).

Like if you ask about atoms, then you'd easily wind up getting into protons and electrons, and then quarks and gluons and shit. The difference is that shit doesn't go on forever where you never get some kind of actual objective answer like pseud wankery does. It's just a little more complicated than it first appears. Nobody is itching to bring up subatomic particles and electron spin (>>215661621) just to appear smart - except faggots like NDT.
>>
>>215655908
Feynman is making sense here. He's trying to tell you that it can't be perfectly understood but they are better understandings the more knowledge about physics you have. Since the reporter does not have any knowledge about physics, there's no better explanation for him than to say: It's the magnetic force.
>>
>>215661815
>>215661753
So in other words, NDT is a good science educator and Feynman is a nerd with bad communication skills.

I did not have the feeling he talked down to him. If he had not cared for a good answer, he'd given him some run-off-the-mill technical explanation from QM and called it a day knowing that he would not understand. Instead, he went out of his way to explain to him why he cannot understand it and, despite that, what physicists know about it.
>>
>>215662018
Fucking snowflakes discussing his cadence rather than what he had to say. If you are so moved by being berated for being stupid, you do not belong in a field as rigorous as physics.

Why do you pseud reddit faggots keep replying like the average person (except you, with probably not even a bachelor's in humanities of course) cannot grasp the basic explanation of any technical physical interaction?

>>215661892
But NDT is not a good science educator, and Feynman is actually pretty good for anyone ACTUALLY interested in ACTUALLY understanding ACTUAL science. That's the difference. If you want gay-as-fuck oversimplified 'muh science' factoids to mindlessly 'ooh' an 'ahh' about, then NDT is your guy I guess.

As I said, most people don't want to actually think that hard, and they just want simple answers delivered confidently in a manner they otherwise find palatable.

It kinda relates to the human animal instinct to follow a leader. There's a tendency for people to follow someone who SOUNDS like they know what they're doing and gives simple answers, while writing off anyone who talks in probabilities even if they're actually smarter and have a better understanding of shit. It's too often misinterpreted as a lack of knowledge and/or confidence, because that's actually how reality works. Understanding that is a different kind of confidence that pushes all the wrong instinctual buttons in pack animals.

You can be TOTALLY confident when you roll two dice you have a one-in-six chance of rolling a sum of 7 because you know the math, but that is less satisfying to retards than if you say you can predict the outcome of any given dice roll with absolute certainty. It's why carnival psychics make money, but Jim Simons made more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Simons

The reaction to Feynman explaining magnets is just one facet of that same kind of thinking. Most people are like the bugs in Starship Troopers where they need a 'brain bug' leader to offload their thinking to, but they are very bad at selecting one, whether it's a short-sighted action man, or a pseud faggot. They'll pick either of those before they actually discuss ideas, share information, and think shit through with all its uncomfortable uncertainties and caveats:

>>215663008

The god of the gaps
>>
>>215663074
>because we still to this day literally dont know how they work
Perfect example of an oversimplified answer this faggot is comfortable with.

Newton didn't 'discover' gravity either faggot. People always knew that apples fell downwards. What he did do is figure out the formula for the rate of fall. But more accurately, he expanded on Galileo's work so it could be used universally in terms of how it governs the motion of planets and shit. Then Einstein figured out the flaws in that.

So asking WHY gravity exists or some shit like that, sure and why is the gravitational constant - or any universal constant - what it actually is, we don't know. But saying we don't know anything about HOW gravity or magnets work is incorrect. It's like saying your doctor has no idea HOW your body functions just because he doesn't know everything or how to build one from non-living matter - or indeed matter from nothing.

Yeah we dont understand gravity either. What is your point? This is a widely known """problem""" is that we dont actually know how/why gravity or magnetism works. His explanation is retarded and gay because everything he rants artistically about (ice is slippery, why people need to go to the hospital) can be explained no matter how many times you ask "why". Magnetism, and as you've brought up, gravity, cannot. As far as we know they just "are". It ends there.

He cant answer the question at all because we still dont know the answer, he's passive aggressively coping. How are there so many of you responding?

1. This bitch is a stupid cunt with a bunch of feminist horseshit rattling around in her head, (the shit in this video is not the worst of it).

2. I don't worship Feynman. Like I said he reminds me of Art Carney in Honeymooners. I'm not a respecter of persons and that includes that bohemian faggot. Fuck him and his gay bongo drums.

3. Newton was an infamous prick, Einstein married his cousin, Maxwell was a fucking socially awkward sperg who married a post-wall "old maid", and don't get me started on Nikola fucking Tesla. These people's personal lives were fucking jokes for the most part, (special kek at Turing for being a fucking faggot and getting forced de-faggotization treatment lel).

Facts don't care about even their feelings and pathetic little lives. I never gave a single shit about these people, only their actual discoveries and actual scientific work. I hate science courses and documentaries that even waste my time on the actual human being themselves because who gives a fucking shit.

So yeah, Feynman the man is not deserving of any special respect because none of them are, not Einstein, not Newton, and especially not this Youtube whore and her retarded Millennial takes.

Having said all that, Feynman did nothing wrong in that interview. Any smugness you might perceive was baseline for that bongo-banging faggot at best. He's certainly far from the worst offender in science and academia in general.

The only thing that asscoliosis bitch is right about is there's a divide between people who 'l love teh science' and people who actually really care about science itself. Which is my entire point in this thread. Like I said, Rogan is just as bad as the faggots who worship Bill Nye the Not-Actually-a-Science-Guy as if he's some kind of actual authority on the subject.

It's the same as not hating 'The Ninth Gate', because of whatever Roman Polanski does in his spare time. Not my fucking problem as a kino appreciator.
