Oh my word...

I was shown this around a year ago with a companion piss-take. I can't recall the other video, alas.

Fucking ridiculous. If you remove all the space between mass, light = energy and you can just cross matter out.

If I were to take the girl seriously, my main concern is, how does she know that the mass of the entire universe can be fit into a ball? What is her basis? Did she do tests? or is it something that she made up at that moment?

Duh, thats why I don't believe it.

And what is this talk about mass? Not much mass? Not much mass compared to what? I know that I weigh roughly 70kg and I have a lot of mass compared to a fly. I also know that compared to the earth, I am not a lot of mass. And what is with this mass of the universe the size of a bowling ball? If you were to compress the earth so there is no space, wouldn't the mass have no size? That is what I would think.

Energy equals light? We can cancel out the mass? That is a double fail. If we can cross out the mass, it would be closer to one than to zero, because if there is no mass, there is no energy.

String theory? Stephen Hawking? You have got to be kidding me. Stephen Hawking did not come up with string theory. Is there a homeopathic wikipedia out there called homeopedia where she gets her facts from because that would be the only explanation for a fail of this magnitude.

Cell wall? Since when do we as humans have cell walls? Did I miss a biology class when I was little or something?

Electrons, protons, and neutrons aren't pieces of energy, they are particles, and going back to the string theory, these "vibrations" she is talking about are really waves on the strings which would create the aforementioned particles.

Body has an infinitesimal amount of mass? Uh no, I can weigh myself quite accurately. I have enough mass, maybe even too much mass.

I am not energy. I am a complex being made out of mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, with a bit of phosphorous, sulphur (my browser spell check does not recognize sulphur with US spelling yet it does with Australian, how odd), a few metals and that is basically it. I need energy to live, I consume energy, yet unless you include mass into your definition of energy, (which you can do with E=MC^2, and she doesn't because she keeps referring to mass) I am not energy.

Wow the first law of thermodynamics. Surprise surprise she got that one correct. Wouldn't have thought it possible.

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: Disease is not a transformation of energy. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:
This is the correct definition of disease. It is an abnormal condition in an organism. If it was a transition of one energy form to another, I would be in serious trouble seeing as I am currently transforming a lot of ATP (chemical potential energy) into movement (mechanical or kinetic energy and thermal energy).

Convert energy to a previous better state? Hey, maybe she could solve the energy crisis for us, Seeing as she knows how we can transform energy into a previous better state maybe she can help transform all the wasted heat produced in a lot of processes and make it into useful energy. I wouldn't mind having a car with a ICE with an efficiency of 80%.

It took 4:31 seconds to get to homeopathy. Maybe she thought if I kept the bit about homeopathy short, I need to talk less thus I would spout less bullshit and seem more genuine.

Bombs change the energetic state? I guess that is kind of correct. Chemical potential energy changing into sound energy and heat energy. Yet you also change the physical state of things. One piece of wood might change to two pieces or more.

Release energy into the liquid? What energy?

I am sorry but can't finish the critique that is how bad it is. Made it to 6:25

In a rare moment of (potentially) somewhat mattering on the internet, I sent this to PZ Myers last year (perhaps others did as well). I've yet to see anyone get so many things completely wrong in so little time.
Addition and multiplication, mass and volume (this is the biggest problem with her stating the universe has very little mass - she's actually talking about volume), Hawking and "Hawkings," string theory and something she made up that has nothing to do with string theory, there's just really nothing she got right.

Wow. I think this if that were to go on any longer the audience would have experienced something similar to the listeners of the 2nd worst poet in the universe.
From the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy said:
The second worst is that of the Azagoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode To A Small Lump of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve- book epic entitled My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

My hands were cupped over my mouth the entire time....

I didn't think these types of people existed - and by 'these types' im referring to completely retarted morons.

Really? How long have you been exposed to the internet? I see these types of people everywhere...

Don't get me wrong i'm extremely internet literate.... Let me reiterate, I'm not usually exposed to people acting smart while vomiting out utterly stupid bullshit.

Maybe i should watch more videos.

Ah. So you've never heard of Kent Hovind, then?
 
arg-fallbackName="Dockar03"/>
Okay so i googled him and watched a few youtube videos.... it's safe to say that ruined my day.

I feel a bit naieve but o well, i'd rather had not known the extent of humanities stupidity.

Try to preserve that naivete as long as possible. You will be a better person for it. When you are ready to be initiated into the ranks of those who have experienced the true depths of human stupidity, expand this box.

Not only that, but the World Trade Center towers were "dustified". As in "reduced to their component molecules, no solid steel was recovered from Ground Zero, entirely vaporized".

And they maintain this delusion even in the face of photographs showing solid steel at Ground Zero.

Wasn't this part of some potholer video about techo bable?
I'm not sure about potholer, but there was a video with this mixed in and star trek and I think another vid like this just comparing them to star trek techno bable.

BTW, has anyone noticed that websites that give evidence of a conspiracy usually are designed horribly? I think there is a negative correlation between the stupidity of the conspiracy theorist and the website layout. I mean its not like they can't hire someone to do it, or they can't learn it themselves.

There are three different groups that have this characteristic, at least from what I've seen on the web:
1. Teenagers with the internet experience as wide as your standard house pet. They have non-matching animations, very loud and messy backdrops and font changes every two sentences and such.
2. Conspiracy theorists. Their pages usually are a tad more toned down, with perhaps just one or two fonts and colors, but the overall page is still without any structure, just like you'd expect if a .txt-file was copypasted into some html-tags. A lot of images and possibly sources, but still a very hard to read or get a good picture of what they have as content.
3. Religious nutjobs. All the "you're gonna burn", "jesus is coming" and "atheists are devil worshippers" kinda pages are at best, with some calm and gentle color-theme, but more often than not these pages also resemble visually those conspiracy guys.

There must be a correlation of some sort, but perhaps it'd be best to stop the offtopic.

How can anyone, and I do mean anyone from the animal kingdom and some of the more cunning forms of mineral, stay in that room with a straight face? I mean really, she is mashing up all forms of strawmen from the modern and ancient fields of science and it sounds and looks like the audience is just nodding in approval? It's damn near scary, unless they've been brainwashed to just absorb everything without questions.

The answer is in your signature. ;)
