I predict a new bestseller spiritualized book on quantum physics hitting bookstores soon. Only this time they won’t use oriental mysticism, but medieval RPG fantasy…

Considering how the woo-peddlers jumped all over quantum, they’ll have a field day with this.

I predict there will be a move to defund physics departments and outlaw teaching of high school physics, as it clearly involves magic and witchcraft.

I laugh, but you are probably right if this gets reported on by the fascist echo chamber. Also, was this originally publshed a month ago? I mean, this is May 1, not April 1.

Has anybody tried to figure out how the ever-lovin’ hell The Simpsons seem to have a direct line to the future? I have questions!

I’m guessing it’s how they always had a few history nerds on the writing staff (going all the way back to when they had a certain history major from Harvard named Conan on the writing team)

Well that’s not going to help anyone who’s trying to get Science taken seriously in political realms.

Ok, so in physics, having new names that “make sense” is out of the question because the phenomena themselves barely make sense, and nobody understands them anyway. But physicists should be forced to outsource the naming to sci-fi authors who might at least come up with some impressive sounding technobabble.
