When you see somebody for the first time, your brain fires off so many synapses and your senses process so much information in an instant that you basically know whether you're attracted to somebody in just seconds. Ted-Ed explains the science behind this and it all boils down to which mate has better reproductive qualities for your future offspring, or better put, who you want to bone.

I love that no matter what scientist say they're alawsys right.... At least until they figure out they're not.
All they've got to do is spout anything, say they figured it in a "study" and it's gospel truth.

that is (simply put) how the scientific method works.

if they have evidence to support it then they can make the claim.
without evidence, all you have is basically religion
-relax, im kidding.

And that's the thing. What they call evidence is quite subjective in many cases.

Does anyone know what "formant spacing" means in terms of vocals?
Posted on 5/9/14 at 9:14 am to SlowFlowPro
It's all about phermones and reproductive compatibility. Our noses pretty much determine who we bone.

that is the thing about the method though.
they put their results out there for others to repeat their experiments and either confirm or disprove their results.

I'm on my iPhone so you've got to do your own homework. But I'll at least give you on prime example. About 40 years ago scientist were convinced we were heading to a new ice age. They had irrefutable proof this was coming. They even had Time magazine do a special issue on the impeding frozen wasteland that was to be our world. Fast forward 40 years and now it's the exact opposite and once again they've got the proof.
Time and again we see scientists make this claim or that claim and as soon As people see that word "study" attached to it, they accept whatever they're being told as though Moses himself brought down the news from the mount on high.

Sort of. Not really.

And that's why not really. Most things remain a theory of some sort even if they are incredibly likely to be true. Darth's preception as scientific theories being represented "gospel truth" is where his concept goes wrong. There's simply evidence to believe that something is the most likely explanation. If new evidence comes along, it's time to reinterpret the explanation.
Only basic scientific principles are viewed as "gospel truth." And of course the gospel by some people.

Well no fricking shite. I hope they didn't spend too much time researching this one.

That sounds good and agree it's supposed to go that way. but considering how the global warming/climate change debate has gone it's patently obvious things don't actually work that way.

that is a lot of media hype there too, and let's not forget politicians talking out of their arse to support their agenda.

but girls SWEAR it's not about sex

So who don't you like? The scientists or the people who claim studies are truth. In your first post you went after the scientist making the claim, but in this one you seem to dislike the people. Or is it both?
Scientists have to defend their publications til they either prove their point or it is refuted. That's part of their jobs and the reason they research things.
Can't help you with the people, people believe a lot of dumb shite.
