Bill Nye Explaining Science on Fox is "Confusing Viewers"

Ferazel says...

I like the fact that the news anchor won't even admit that the world is getting warmer. Like it is some sort of trap. Does he not hear about the glaciers melting in Greenland or paths in the northern ice cap being accessible for one of the first times ever in recorded history? You can stomp your feet all you want about how climate models are wrong/complicated or that it is man made or due to solar regulations. However, I don't think you can deny the world is getting warmer, it's called a thermometer and a pencil and paper for note taking.

Wage disparity? (Equality Talk Post)

Stormsinger says...

@Lawdeedaw,
Just a few points now that I have the time...

1) Not that it's a big deal, but I'm definitely male (or at least so my wife believes). I know the avatar is a bit misleading, but I liked the image.

2) I wondered after I posted if I had missed your point, but then again, I'm -still- not really sure what your point is. Outliers simply don't demonstrate that statistics are skewed. Showing errors in the studies do that. Outliers just prove what anyone with any knowledge of statistics already knows; statistics are not true of all of the population. They don't claim to be, they simply allow us to look at trends and general cases. If they were always true, we wouldn't need a statistical analysis, we'd simply state the fact.

3) The value of statistics aren't necessarily measured by how much new information they reveal. The
fact that things haven't changed is still valuable information. Just like a thermometer won't change anyone's opinion on whether the room is too hot or too cold...it just gives you an objective measurement. Opinions and perspectives are subjective; which is a horse of a completely different color.

Gallium spoon melts in hot water

>> ^jimnms:

It says it melts at 86°F, so why didn't it melt in his hand? I just used an IR thermometer on my fingers and get 90°F.


It probably would do if he held it for long enough. When you pick an ice cube up it doesn't instantly all turn to water does it, and that's with your fingers 58°F warmer than the melting point of water. The the gallium you'd be barely above the melting point, so heat transfer would be a lot slower and it wouldn't melt, particularly if it was straight out of the fridge.
