I understand making things accessible to people, that's a good thing. But dumbing it down to the point where it doesn't make sense is insulting to the masses IMO. This is fundamental stuff that people should know and it should be correct. I had to turn it off cos some guy was going on about atoms evaporating and being blown out of the solar system

you would be amazed at the basic knowledge that people in general have no conception of existing. Just the basic stuff like 'longest river' and 'difference between virus and bacteria'

Asking people about superposition or entanglement is just too far outside their reality. Remember, they are not all INTJ or ENTP.

Did you ever watch what the *bleep do we know and down the rabbit hole? I found it so difficult to watch due to the constant switching between proper explanation and cartoon bollox.

PLEASE PHYSICS (cant call to god coz he aint there) LET NOT THE TWIN SLIT EXPERIMENT BE EXPLAINED YET AGAIN!

I ended up watching youtube MIT and Harvard lectures on Quantum Mechanics to get shot of the fluff. That was alittle bit and also way way above me sometimes which is exactly what edumacation should be.


Simple truth is Brainbleaching is well underway and accurate knowledge is not needed for most of the drones.

It's The Thames! Everyone knows that, surely

and 'difference between virus and bacteria'

One can be "friendly" the other is only hostile

I found it cringe worthy, but I think its needed as most kids these days lack a basic drokking understanding of the world.

On a different note, I'd love to go on the zero gravity plane. $4950 + 5% tax a go tho

It is currently anticipated that the vehicle will be ready to carry private passengers on commercial space flights from late 2014 onwards, but, due to the developmental nature of the flight programme, this timetable is subject to change and the dates on which space flights will actually commence, or whether they will commence at all, cannot be guaranteed. In the event that the X-COR programme remains unable for whatever reason to undertake space flights with private passengers as at 31st December 2016, the Promoter will offer the Winner an alternative cash prize of £41,000 , such offer to remain open for acceptance by the winner for 28 days after it is made. In the event the winner chooses not to accept the alternative cash prize, he or she will be entitled to the space flight reservation upon the terms and conditions of SXC which will be provided to the winner.

Still requesting info on proper space trips. I don't think I would go on anything associated with Lynx. They can't even make a deodorant that appeals to anyone over 12.

T&Cs say if you don't accept 41k in place of space flight they will give you more T&Cs... Which presumably aren't available/haven't been written yet

What are you trying to say about me Donald?
