vilsays...I dont even think the title spoils it. Its one of those things one struggles to accept as reality. This is how flat earthers and Trump supporters must feel on an everyday basis.
olyar15says...The professor did not lose face. He had valid questions and issues with what he saw, proposed alternative possibilities that could explain the phenomenon, and accepted the answer after further experimentation and explanation.
That is how science works. Science is not a pissing match (or at least, it shouldn't be).
spawnflaggersays...Yes, given the evidence solely in the previous video, he presented a valid alternate hypothesis, and even 80% convinced Bill Nye.
My only problem with him (as it was presented in this video) was that he seemed sooo confident about the "divide by zero" infinite force denominator part of the equation "obvious error" that he didn't go further. "well they must be wrong because this math makes it impossible".
I do give him kudos though, because he paid on the bet.
