    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Whether the system is bright or dark depends on the electron spin state - the 'system' I talk about is an electron. If it is spin up lets say, it fluoresces intensely, while it is nearly perfectly dark when it is spin down. The system is 'randomized' by applying a rotation to the electron spin...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Ok, so we've established we can measure light intensity. Now I have a system where there are two intensity levels, bright and dark. I can do a randomizing procedure where I can make it so there's a 50/50 chance of being bright or dark on the next measurement, no matter if it was previously...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Is your argument that if light is involved in any step of the process, then it can't be physics? Do you believe in seeing things with your own eyes or not? Like how do you read forum posts? Seems like 'measuring light' to me. The only property of light that was used for the experimental data...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Well, obviously you don't understand what 'loophole' means in this context. Let's go with your looking-at-houses example. You look at a house, then look at another house, and sure enough they are 50 ft apart. You do this a bunch of times, people come in and verify it, that's all well and good...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Hi Furry, to answer your question, yes there are only two loopholes that can preserve a local, realist interpretation of reality in the face of violation of Bell's inequality. Those are locality and fair sampling, both were closed. Freedom-of-choice is the mega-loophole, but it can't be...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Honestly the first time I ran a heroic I thought I was queued for a normal and didn't realize until I got the bonus at the end. Really enjoying resto shaman after thinking sham was shit and playing lock to 100. Though it doesn't seem the ability squish hit rsham - I feel like I have a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Why wouldn't they keep adding to the garrison or have a it in the next expansion? There's so much that could be built on top of what they have now ... integrating it into guilds somehow, adding more variety of buildings, followers etc. etc. I don't understand why they would just throw away a...

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    4:30 am and I didn't want to wait ~15 min to click a world object anymore. Putting the casual in 'casual guild' I know

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    Thinking of joining up since it appears I pre-ordered WoD while drunk at some point ... does the guild prefer shaman, rogue, or warlock?

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    The buildings issue has been a problem for Civ since time immemorial. It's actually improved in BE because trade routes boost production in your new cities massively - before it would take almost the same number of turns (barring some small improvements) to build your new city as the old. The...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I can see where some reviews were coming from with the lack of life in the game. In classic civ, you are reliving all of history, which is awesome. In Alpha Centauri, they did an absolutely awesome job of designing characters and a tech tree that set the atmosphere. 15 years later I can still...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Sounds great, at the very least it's a different game mode. Always nice to add more ways to play a game that's been out for almost 10 years. Between this and garrisons, it sounds like Blizz is throwing out little tastes of how niche game styles could work in an MMO like WoW. Maybe one of them...
