More meaningless bullshit hype articles about quantum nothing's for Reddit to circlejerk over to feel smart.

A lot of scientists need to be culled. <:varg:531496271920496640>

Mmm quantum magic

Any time I see "quantum" in the title of a pop-sci article I immediately lose all my will to actually read it

A quantum experiment insure a virtual simulation did something Laure, isn't that cool? A simulation inside a simulation did something!

Never mind that our simulations are flawed and inherently bound by rules in ways that quantum mechanics are not

Oh yeah, and that too
Most often these "experiments" aren't even actual irl experiments, just computer simulations

"Wow, look at the output of the computer simulation we've just did, it implies some absolutely irrelevant bullshit that doesn't have anything to do with the actual title of the article and also doesn't necessarily have anything to do with reality, because our simulations aren't anywhere near 100% reliable"

Yes, yes. Very much science.

That was so obviously just banter

It was garbage flirting but its not headline worthy

Not sure I'd count that as flirting

He's obviously intimidated by her, and she actually falls for it and gets provoked

bro, it's not sexist. It's just like if somebody works at nasa you're going to ask them if they work a lowe level job

But yes, the most mind boggling part is that it's news

you don't expect them to be the top mathematician

oh I saw the tweet

he was just making a joke

but she got T R I G G E R E D

Nah, it was hostile

"You look reasonably smart" is really tipping your hand there

It's so obviously not normal to ask someone who just told you they work at NASA if they work as a receptionist

Though more than sexist it was just dumb, low-tier banter

Kind of funny that even though no one here mentioned sexism, including that woman you instinctually knew that it's about sexism

🤔

Wow women in science so empowering

A better line would be "so are you the diversity hire?"

Those birthrate numbers are just BS somebody has been feeding people for years not to justify immigration

Finland has supposedly been under replacement birthrate for like 50 years yet their population has been on a gradual increase all that time

really makes you think

@laurefinwë

don't fall for the birthrate jew narrative

their population has risen every year since the 70s

Birthrate replacement is based on old statistics where kids just died more and people died earlier
