maybe if you weren't such a social inept fuck, you'd be blabbering about your physics to your friends instead of complaining about how other people get the credit.

u mad?

>Implying the people you describe aren't the powerless proles who do nothing but provide manual labor and infrastructure for those of us intelligent enough to not subscribe to such idiocy.

nope.

information is meant to be shared and passed on even if it is just the conclusion.

Stop being petty. Its about the science not the recognition remember?

Non-sciencefag here. I am usually the guy parroting the documentary. I don't think anyone gives me credit for 'discovering' anything since they know I'm just telling them about the documentary.

I think what irks you is that because the documentaries are popsci, it's dumbed down for all non-scifags to understand. But don't worry OP, I respect your field and knowledge. I just want to share something interesting to my friends.

>>10245431
>implying intelligent people actually subscribe to that belief

Or... you could be happy that people from the general public have taken an interest in the rudimentary facts of your passion? Certainly you could hop in on the conversation and pick up where the documentary, by necessity, left off

Not yet, though I'm planning on studying chemistry this fall.

>>10245476
You're still an idiot for talking about a subject you HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA OR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS YOU FUCKING PRETENTIOUS IDIOT HIPSTER!!!

Are you a motherfucking linguist? No? Then who the fuck are you to comment on what people say!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaand ive been trolled

3/10

>Implying uarentmadbro.

>>10245498

I am not a hipster by far. But it's called being a good conversationalist. I read the paper, watch documentaries, and watch the news. I'm not a science major but I like science a lot. I just do not think I would like to do it as a career choice.

>>10245509
Well since I've actually worked my ass off in university for years, I can prove that I am an intelligent individual and can comment, intellectual, on what others say.

>>10245567
>I'm not a science major but I like science a lot.
Then you are a fucking idiot that thinks he's intelligent knows and everything, and gives false understandings and information to other idiots who'll credit you for it.

>>10245589

Are you kidding me? I tell them where I get the information from. I don't claim to invent or discover anything. They know I'm not a scientist. I don't get what's your obsession about crediting either. I said over and over again that I do not claim invention or discovery. Jeez, you're quite high strung.

>>10245641
You're spreading what you heard like you think you everything about it, when you don't, you obviously don't, and should leave this shit to people that actually learned it on their own in a university.

Since you didn't respond to me in the thread you made on /sci/

Not really sure why you're so mad OP, you don't deserve recognition either. The only difference is that you have a deeper understanding of the subject at hand in general, and could elaborate on it in much greater detail.

However, neither of you actually discovered this information in your research so neither of you deserve any credit for your knowledge, that doesn't mean that you could impart that knowledge to someone else, such as the other guy who learned from the Television little anecdotal things about science.

Until you come up with your own new and inventive theorem and back it up with evidence such that it is accepted by the scientific community to be a valuable and verifiable contribution to science you have no right to look down on someone else simply because the method which they used to gain that knowledge was different than yours.

I know what you mean, OP. I worked for years to get my master of fine arts in film and I hear people talking about what they think is a good movie. Fucking jerks don't have any business watching movie when they can't appreciate it on as many level as I can.

>>10245668
But I've actually worked hard in university and experiments and labs to learn everything I can about a certain scientific field. So I have more merit to teach it to other people and talk about it and make them understand. Not some popped-collar douche that watches Kaku and quotes everything he says. Only people who've actually done and learned science should have the right to talk and make others understand, not random idiots that have no clue of what they're talking about.

sure is self centered elitist fags in here

>>10245712
>getting mad over people talking about what they think is a good film
>think that your opinion is any better than theirs
>all opinions held of a film are subjective to the person themselves, and therefore are never wrong

>>10245655

you think I sit a person down with a notebook and start drawing up crazy formulas? I do nothing of the sort.

I ask 'hey did you see that documentary with Morgan Freeman? it's pretty good, check it out. it deals cosmology and it's quite interesting to see the theories on how the universe came to be.'

I do not pawn off anything as my own. I do not know what person you're referring to that irked you enough to make this post, so maybe next time you're in a group conversation with the guy you should speak up and correct him.

>>10245716
You mad because you got no friends?
You sound like a massive egotistical dickhead.

>>10245767

Poster is correct. I think this hate stems down to a much more personal level. I think the OP is referring to a single person that pawns off knowledge as his own, possibly someone that has taken the OP's love interest. Therefore extreme jealousy and rage are surfacing.

>>10245763
>implying that was a serious post and not just making fun of OP

>>10245716
So you'd rather peoples knowledge be stifled because they can't ask their coworker or father about how something works, just because that individual isn't 'worthy' of imparting that information to them, since they aren't a qualified professional in that field?

You'd rather I didn't tell my friends about an interesting book I read or program that I watched, and then if they ask about it, I'd have to say "Well you have to read/watch it for yourself, I'm not qualified to talk about what was written/said"

If so, then you're a cancer on society and should just stop with any plans you may have that involve being a scientist, because it sounds like you'd rather gain knowledge for the sake of recognition and fortune, rather than to give people a better understanding of how the world works. What difference is there between someone who reads a book or watches a TV program who then tells someone else about what he learned from it, and that other person having watched/read it themselves. Nothing. Just because someone isn't 'qualified' to talk about something doesn't mean they shouldn't.

So OP, I suppose you've never commented on any field other than your own? You don't give people computer advice based on what you've read on the internet, because you're not an engineer or a software developer. You wouldn't help someone with their math homework, because you're not a mathematician. You wouldn't dare to comment on a book you read or a movie you watched, because you've never taken a course in academic criticism. And I'm sure you don't vote, that would be ridiculous given your lack of political science degree!

I'm a professional physicist, by the way. Sure, it annoys me when people horribly misinterpret science and act like know-it-alls (quantum mechanics=time travel LOL!!), but I have a remedy for that: I correct them. And if they just mention that they saw an interesting documentary, that's great, I can have a conversation with them about something that we're both interested in - and it's always good for the ego to have a conversation like that where you're clearly the most knowledgeable one.

>>10245368

Bratislave, jes' to ti?

>>10245958

Wait, I think I just got trolled hard...

But I know there are people out there who really believe what OP's saying, and they piss me off.

OP basically reminds me of all the needy and bitter aspies I tend to come across in a physics lab at college or something. The kind that wants to prove their intelligence is better than every person that didn't accept them before, to prove that they're better than this way because they can't do it yet the aspie can, the ones that always complain and go nuts when it comes to pop. sci. and somebody reducing a certain law of physics or mathematics function into layman's terms. They were annoying and made you feel embarrassed to be in the same major as them.

Though there are two things I found solace in with these types over time. One, they change and stop caring by the time they become a grad student, let others do what they want. And two, sometimes I would troll them by breaking complex scientific theories or laws into layman's to anyone that asks me about it, and what said aspie's squirm as you do so. :)

I felt sorry for people like OP at first when I thought about how bad it must feel to have your work being paraded by other people. When I read the thread I felt bad for people like OP for a different reason, you're paranoid and possessive as hell.

OP, I am currently studying for a bachelor in physics, and later on, a PHD. I will have spent MANY hours, just as many as you, learning the math behind the fanciful words you hear in those "popular science" type shows. And you know what? I'm glad shows like that exist, and I'm glad people pay enough attention to them to have even a basic level of understanding as to what science has done for humanity. Science is a journey in understanding the world around us and using that knowledge to aid mankind. If you have a problem with the common man appreciating science for what it is, then you are no scientist.

p.s. say hello to your hand for me.

OP's post is why hate science majors.

>>10245655

Maybe if you would leave your cave of arrogance and fleshlights, people might get a chance to hear about your genius.

Contact a newpaper. Tell them what you have done. Then, post pics.

I had a friend who got into an argument with my physics professor about black holes. My friend watches discovery channel. My professor wrote his thesis on black holes while working in a particle collider. Guess who won.

You're just parroting everything as well, but from different sources.

It's exactly the same thing except you're a whiney bitch?

Sorry if people aren't as interested in your particular field of study as you are and would rather a easy to understand conversation on the subject from somebody who won't act like the superior faggot you seem to be.

>>10246621
The friend?

>>10246621
Your professor should have known better than to take on the brilliance of the Discovery Channel. Maybe he'll learn his place and keep his mouth shut next time.
