Science Myths that You Still Believe...

This video is #sponsored by Foreo.

The irony of Foreo sponsoring a video about science…

[v.m.]

I don't think the sponsors were told what the video title was...

[PR_]

There are 6 kind of states:
Liquid, Gas, solid, Plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate & cats

The irony of an LED facemask being a sponsored product on a video about science myths...

Schrödingers cat goes even deeper than that. It wasn't really intended to explain qauntum physics but rather to demonstrate the seeming absurdity of it by applying it to non particles.
The way schrödingers cat is used commonly these days also creates the misconception in people that the observer needs to be a human. The experiment wouldn't work at all since the cat, and even the geiger counter itself would also be observers. Basically any kind of interaction with a particle is an observer

Propioception - I had a nerve injury in my elbow (the "funny bone" nerve.) I had virtually no feeling in my left hand. It was so bad that I had no idea where my hand was in space. I had to visually locate my hand in space to prevent from shutting in in my car door frame when closing the door. Kind of scary.

Simon...I put my light mask on which made my cat jump into a box which fell into the tub full of water where I was making underwater toast and I am pretty sure he got hit by a few nutrinos. Not quite sure of what to do next...

[CatSErious]

I actually thought that mask commercial turns into a joke

In all fairness the amount of shit that has happened to animals in the history of science, the idea of schrodinger's cat being a real experiment isn't that outlandish

Knowledge is knowing that water is an electrical insulator, wisdom is not putting it in an electrical insulator salad

[jamesdriggers]

so water everywhere actually does conduct electricity, unless you go through the long and arduous task of purifying and de-ionizing it.

It is also rarely noted that Schrodinger conceived the "cat experiment" as a means of mocking the seeming contradictory terms of quantum theory b/c, obviously, the cat cannot be alive and dead at the same time, it's merely a question of if you *know*. It has become turned around as an example of the quantum states and effects.

I thought u had learned from the whole "become a lord or lady" ads

Simon finally sold his soul. I hope/trust they payed well.

My mom has a well-developed sense of when I'm engaging in...intimate activities. Probably 90% of her phone calls hit during those times 🤣

A video about scientific misinformation sponsored by an LED skincare mask. I do love irony.

[mikefochtman]

Fun fact about water's lack of conductivity: Large commercial generating plants (up in the hundreds of MW range) have the generators cooled by constructing them with hollow tubes for 'wires'. Then water is pumped through all the tubes that make up the windings. This water has to be kept extremely 'pure' with demineralizers, but it is very effective and removing the heat from within the windings.

Please stop being a shill for pseudo-science products as it runs counter to your brand and creates an air of untrustworthiness.

I can detect ultraviolet light. I just have to expose myself to a potential source, then wait and see if the skin peels off :-)
