This is the announcement that was being hyped up in that aliens or time-travel thread a few days ago.
The announcement is that the scientists who were studying gravitational waves found gravitational waves. This was perhaps a bit overhyped.
To be fair, it's a very big experiment and it's nice that they got it all to work. They also found more gravitational waves than expected.
It would probably make scientists happy if people could congratulate them on their own terms
I think these results are very cool, but the level of hype built up around it was still irresponsible.
yes Michio kaku and friends seem to upset the real researchers quite a lot
What does Michio Kaku have to do with anything? Several of the actual scientists involved were tweeting about how earth shattering this will be.
you don't think mr god particle saying quantum mechanics research will lead to teleporters before 2100 contributed to people making this about aliens, etc
the real researchers in my usage there is interchangeable with "the ogs"
There is no person I have consistently despised more than Kaku the entire way through my progression from insufferable STEMlord to barely sufferable leftie. Futurists get the wall.
He has stochastically destroyed so many conversations.
Tfw scientists announce they've made a major discovery but it's just some nerd shit about gravity and there's still zero sexy green-skinned alien babes fascinated by the strange human custom of blowjobs
