Is This What Quantum Mechanics Looks Like? - Veritasium

ChaosEngine says...

So you would prefer a totally deterministic universe?

If there's no true randomness in the universe, then EVERYTHING is literally pre-ordained. The universe is just a massive rube goldberg machine that we all unwittingly play our part in. Everything, from the formation of galaxies to what you decided to have for breakfast, is simply a result of an absurdly complicated machine playing out its inevitable ending.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that this is the implication of such a universe, unless you want to include some supernatural force (god, souls, etc.)

I hate quantum mechanics and the absurd implications that extrapolate from it. I always believed that one day we would look back and laugh at how wrong it was. Turns out a more reasonable competing theory has been there all along. Why was I not taught this in school.

I get that it's just another theory and that quantum mechanics can't be judged based on intuition that comes from our interaction with the macro world. Still...fuck quantum mechanics.

Biisuke Ball's Big Adventure

ChaosEngine says...

Now, I wouldn't normally do this, but I fear there are many people who will click on a video entitled "Biisuke Ball's Big Adventure".

And those people will miss out, and their lives will be worse.

so.... *promote epic ball adventure / song / rube goldberg machine!

Mesmerizing Robot Sorts Batteries

Retroboy says...

This thing is practically a Rube Goldberg machine.

A simple tilted chute with a slot that identifies which way the batteries that slide down it are pointing, separating them into forms that deposit them on a conveyor, would have done the trick without all that dancing.

(Yes, I know, I destroy the magic in souls frequently. Utility over aesthetics ho!)

Rube Goldberg cereal pouring contraption

ghark says...

completely agree , using something as cool and historical as a Rube Goldberg machine to sell... diabetes to children should be a crime.

I couldn't enjoy the fun/cool part of this video as all i was thinking is how can you feed that poison to your children. I don't know, i'd be inclined to put this in the fail channel if that's what your kid eats for breakfast. He seems to win big with one part of the parenting puzzle but fail horribly at another. IMO

Now ill get off my horse.

Fantastic Toy Commercial For Future Girl Engineers

xxovercastxx says...

Is this a bad time to point out that Rube Goldberg machines are, by nature, examples of terrible engineering?

But I love the motivation here. Princess programming is highly disturbing and the helpless girls (who never become women) it produces are a waste of space.

Confronting Strangers with Personal Information - Experiment

poolcleaner says...

Freedom is slavery. I mean, for fuck's sake you have ALL the freedoms in the world to enslave yourself with. We must be in a shitty philosophy-Rube-Goldberg machine because all of the obvious dumb shit that we saw coming is happening.

I was taught NOT to be paranoid, which scared the shit out of me. My parents scared the shit out of me by not giving a fuck.

Blame the system, eh? Well, yes, but it's an unthinking machine of cause and effect, filled to the brim with gremlins in our own little kremlin. And it breeds intolerance, depression, guilt, gluttony, greed -- all those things our glorified economists say are actually good.

Oh really? Fuck us in the ass more, master. It feels so good. I love it when you use humanity and then cum on its face. GREED IS GOOD.

Thought Crime-It's What's For Dinner

Fantastic Toy Commercial For Future Girl Engineers

Magicpants says...

"So...we might have recruited three young girls and that guy who made OK Go's famous Rube Goldberg machine"

Would have nice if they could have found a woman to build the machine. It's a nice sentiment, but all they're showing me is these girls playing on a toy someone else built. But I really hope this helps; I think the princess mentality hasn't done society any favors.

Here's an depressing question that keeps running through my head: What do you suppose the ratio of fictional female engineers/hard-scientists to real female engineers/hard-scientists is? what about male?
