I never realized there were enough physicists on here to bring this to 12 pages.
And as you might expect, to someone with a real education in physics, this thread contains a lot of bad ideas about how physics actually works. As someone with training in anatomy and physiology, it has a lot of bad ideas about how the mind and body work.
People believing in things I don't believe in doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when they abuse subjects for which I'm passionate (physics, anatomy, physiology) to support their beliefs. Much of what has been said in this thread about physics and anatomy is simply wrong. It's frustrating to read this stuff because there's so much of it that it would take me all day to refute.
That's the problem with pseudoscience--it's much easier to take some big words from science and construct smart-sounding stories. It's easy to convince people that there might be some truth to it. But to explain why that idea is wrong is much harder, because you have to actually teach the person the real science. Real science is less digestible than pseudoscience to the layman.
