Terence Howard : I already solved this, here's a drawing I made.

[BushidoBush]

I listen to these shorts and then go do my best Terrence Howard impression at work the next day 😂

[bushal]

My ignorance is vast, my understanding meager yet I’m captivated. I’m glad I’m not alone.

[FredHerrman]

It’s so cool that we can hear these guys talking about this stuff so accessibly these days. Maybe the only good thing about social media.

[techbro_]

Even being wrong can teach us a lot! That's the beauty of science!

[FatherofFFD]

When you’re out of your league in a high stakes quantum physics discussion, you’re left with making game show sound effects.😂

"Captain we ended at the other side of the Universe, the coordinates are off by a factor of a google" 😂

[burritobowl]

the three of them are so good together

[Renatus_Eruditus]

LMAO🤣 Chuck referencing The Price is Right murdered me instantly😭😭

[billyvonbean]

As a dark energy theorist, i theorize it would be easier to see it if we just turned on the lights

[joelonsdale]

A gap? A GAP! Quick, stick a god in it ...

[weRarmy_weRBL]

whenever I think of myself as someone with an above average brain... I come here to listen to this guys...and that idea flees quickly!

[short]

This is over my head, but I love to listen.😅😊😳👌

[StealthTheUnknown]

Yup, I was about to point out that QM has always been in disunion with our understanding of gravity as a whole, and dark matter is itself merely an attempt to explain how our observations of gravity fail; it simply extends from that disunion. That’s not at all surprising.

[andrejsasd]

It feels like "theory for dark energy" gets more and more incredible and fantastic, just like 19th century theories about aether (ether) as a medium for transmission of electromagnetic waves

[MC-brgk]

The set of Terrence Howard’s is larger than we think.

[RocEsxoTv]

I don’t know nothing that’s going on but I’m sooo interested & can’t stop watching!

[qiwfucn]

😮 Wait.. I can explain.. I just saw & heard this answer on Star Trek last night...

[jessepearce]

I hope the Flerfs don’t see this. “See, gravity doesn’t even exist. We told you the earth is flat!” 😂

[cristianoo]

Going very very very wrong is a good sign, because it means that you just did the opposite of what you supposed to do, And once you discover the inverse of it, then you'll have a precision of 10^-123, which is an absolute perfect fit.
