Epiosde Three ain't out yet.

Judging by his output, Kinberg's pretty crap.

Let us sigh with relief then, that he never claimed this.

There isn't good evidence for the eyewear thing being a 'cybernetic hate crime'.

Claiming that this is the 'world's first superstorm', without any qualification, suggests that this is the first of these events to occur in the last 4bn years, and as such is very alarmist and just sloppy science writing on a basic level.

"The best thing about this illusion is that it was discovered by accident."

Right, every idea has an infinite chain of humans who had it previously.

Why on Earth does xkcd deserve 'credit' for an idea that is not theirs? They got it from the Feynman video.

A rather absurd solution in my view. Work will have been made obsolete. It seems a tragic outcome that governments would enforce jobs that were literally entirely pointless, so as to keep people employed and maintain the outdated paradigms of the past. People could spend every waking hour free to do as they desired;…

We will all be unemployed in the future. It's unavoidable. Once we can build machines which are smarter and more agile than us, a priori, there will be no reason to hire humans.

I always thought that something similar to the REH was the most obvious solution to the Fermi paradox.

Oh well? It's just scientific curiosity; it's why we know anything at all. If you don't feel it then that's that. Homosexuality is quite interesting in itself because it is something you wouldn't immediately expect from natural selection.

Thank you for that, I'm glad there are rational people here to hold the journalists to account. I was rather bemused by other commenters who said there was nothing misleading. The title is patently misleading; false, in fact. Defending obvious inaccuracy is strangely partisan and dogmatic behaviour for 'science…

This is neither a thought experiment, nor would it have proven that light had constant speed, and nor did it do so historically.

Just give it up dude. The original comment was baseless, the repudiation was baseless, and your preference of one over the other has shown you to be irrational

Of course the original article was misleading. If you think you're subscribed to a journal here, guys, I'm afraid you're rather mistaken; io9 is a popsci website for people who think science is 'cool'. They will readily eschew scepticism (the REAL crux of science) in order to make more exciting statements than they…

What do you mean by 'all biological'? Clearly homosexuality is entirely biological, it concerns the mental and physical states of organisms. Did you mean 'innate'? Or perhaps, 'not a choice'?

It's because the video sucks. In the 'Comos' series, this speech is set to the image of a tiny blue dot on a black canvas, a photograph of Earth taken from a distant probe.

His is an honest question.

It doesn't look like a violation of physics at all. The writer has made an incorrect assumption; namely, that you cannot gain energy when you bounce off the trampoline.
