Disclaimer: this small joke is not an attempt to claim that the god-of-the-gaps mentality applies to science; the philosophies behind the superficial similarities are very different.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Yeah, always been my problem, too. Joel - 15/06/2010 05:44:30 AM 524 Views
Lederman wanted to call it "the goddamn particle," but the publisher wouldn't let him. Dreaded Anomaly - 15/06/2010 06:26:56 AM 545 Views
Well, we've been pretty bad at name stuff Isaac - 15/06/2010 08:52:09 AM 561 Views
"Giant radiating dyke swarms"?!!! Joel - 15/06/2010 05:57:11 PM 553 Views
Oh, yes, and it's often accompanied by Dickite Isaac - 15/06/2010 06:18:35 PM 537 Views
When giant radiating dike swarms get hot they produce dickite? Joel - 16/06/2010 12:35:53 AM 579 Views
This I can believe. Joel - 15/06/2010 06:02:37 PM 489 Views

right, but it's still out there in the same orbit with the same momentum and positioning moondog - 15/06/2010 08:45:43 AM 674 Views
It had to lose its status or you'd have to memorize several more planets Isaac - 15/06/2010 08:57:20 AM 606 Views
y'all are screwing up my "uncertainty principle" joke dammit! *NM* moondog - 15/06/2010 09:19:11 AM 242 Views
Sorry Totally missed it *NM* Isaac - 15/06/2010 09:45:23 AM 292 Views
I was disappointed they didn't make all the dwarf planets into planet planets. Darth_Katie - 16/06/2010 01:00:51 PM 573 Views
