Conservapedia vs 'Liberal' Physics

Can't believe they made Einstein Jewish to fulfil diversity quotas. This is truly a moment in history.

[enzogamerukbr]

Conservapedia isn’t a gold mine, it’s the whole gold quarry.

[KingCrocoduck]

Also E = mc² WAS derived from first principles. Begin with the Lorentz transformations and the definition of energy, apply it to particles at rest, and boom you're there.

"It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and E=mc^2!!!"

[shpadoinker]

Einstein is doing c^2 rpm's in his grave right now.

[HerculeDevantrien]

It really bugs me out that someone out there put time and effort into gaining _some_ legitimate understanding of E=mc2 (something I've never bothered doing), got angry that it didn't align well with the bible, and then logged on some website to declare it liberal propaganda. The guy accessed knowledge few people possess, and still choose ignorance in the end.

[TheNerd]

1:53 The author implies that the speed of light is variable. He says this as if it's a well known thing. what?

[djhalling]

To be fair, quite a bit of the material in Conservapedia was written by poes. There are jokes that have been in there for years without the organisers realising it.

[jamesspencer]

Reality: questioned by skeptics; rejected by Conservatives

[Deinonuchus]

I'm surprised they didn't pull out the "Einstein was a argument.

[OldSchoolRT]

Feels like a passionate conservative failed a lesson on Theory of Relativity, got kicked out of uni and took out his anger out on Conservapedia while still in denial.

[jacksonheathen]

Just another example of conservatives making their own facts to validate their nonsense.

[fotnite_]

This article is extremely funny, and still up today. One of the funniest things is that the sources section, many of the sources don't even link anywhere and are instead just the author arguing with people.

[bradypustridactylus]

The logical fallacy, The Appeal to Common Sense. Right there. Out in the open. Wow! Doesn't he realize that when Galileo wrote "On Motion, " concerning the physics of falling objects over 400 years ago, that he made "common sense" irrelevant to physics forever?

[gabrielrangel]

Undergrad physics equations are now deeply potical

[Reasonably-Sane]

My Microwave Oven stopped working, because suddenly matter is no longer affected by electromagnetic energy! Thanks for nothing Conservapedia.

[chrisose]

Interestingly E=mc2 drives one of the conservatives favorite toys, the atomic bomb.

[BLARGHALT]

The funny thing is, by this point Conservapedia basically only has two active, sincere users left: Andrew Schlafly, the creator, and Conservative, a *fucking insane* long-time user prone to week-long editing binges.

[darkmetal]

Somehow they made E=mc2 political
Honestly I'm impress

[theupson]

"derived from first principles" is without meaning. science, like any form of study of the actual existing universe, is inductive not deductive. the inability to distinguish between a working assumption and an axiom is the defining trait of a fanatic
