To be fair, I bet most, if not all, cosmologists would agree that they know far less than they don't know. The title of the article is a bit sensationalistic from that point of view, but then I guess "Cosmology has some big details to work on" isn't nearly as catchy.
100% there will be multiple class action lawsuits regarding this. Whether it's right or wrong going to be people that will wanna see if they can throw something against the wall and make it stick.
I've been developing since 2000 in some form or other and have gone from a true believer who thought the internet would save the world, to someone who thinks it's had an immeasurably negative impact on any number of levels.
That said, comparing it to smoking is not broad enough. It's more like social media (and by extension the internet) is more like the 'new water' - a fundamental aspect of living whether we like it or not at this point. For instance, even if you don't partake in social media, the top political figures of the day are, and thus your life is being directly affected one way or the other.
Besides Facebook banning search engine indexing of itself the search functionality of Facebook itself is terrible. I belong to several groups and I've seen numerous examples of content, which I know is in the group, not showing up in search results while using very straight forward and matching searches.
I can't speak to why others downvoted you. However, your comment says nothing. I have no idea what you think about this; but I do know that your comment adds nothing to the conversation.
He is making clever implications by omission. Break it down, by the words he uses... I won't spell it out, but the OP finds some facts in the story unusual to the point of 1 in 10000 coincidences happening with 1 in 10 frequency in the context. It is a valid observation, even if it does imply a different worldview.
gizmo686 - For you this may be true. I don't think you can speak for everyone that comes to this thread though. I've said as much as I feel comfortable and safe to say given how hostile the internet and 'discussion' about certain subjects have become in general.
Yeah, well I ended up with more upvotes than downvotes in the end. So apparently your 'very good reason' was not widely shared. Thanks for trolling anyway. Can alway count on the internet to provide plenty of them.
Without going into specifics that would surely prove to be incendiary to some, this whole thing makes me feel like some portion of the world has completely lost it. If you feel differently than me or hostile towards me for saying so, that is your right, but I wanted to have at least one comment on here for posterity for anyone else who feels the way I do so that they do not feel alone.
