Is there a category to ask physics questions based on very little information? Namely a YouTube video that discusses a topic in a way that confuses me that I merely want clarification on?
You can also try and extract the paper, the good posters usually show it in the video.LightningInAJar said:Is there a category to ask physics questions based on very little information? Namely a YouTube video that discusses a topic in a way that confuses me that I merely want clarification on?
It most definitely isn't the case. There is no conservation of energy at cosmological distances.LightningInAJar said:at the universal level that probably isn't the case.
Are utterly not worth conversing with so don't waste our time asking about them. Asking about science topics is fine, but leave that garbage out of it.LightningInAJar said:a number of metaphysical pseudoscience people ...
So where does energy go at the large scale? Is that just a great unknown at this point?phinds said:It most definitely isn't the case.

Why do we even bother?mfb said:Find the best fitting physics section and start a thread there.
It is completely understood. It doesn't "go" anywhere, it just isn't there any more.LightningInAJar said:So where does energy go at the large scale? Is that just a great unknown at this point?
Generally, such folks have no interest at all in facts. They have a point of view and have made up their mind about it trying to tell them otherwise is just doing what in the American military is called pissing up a rope.LightningInAJar said:I only mention the metaphysical folks because they always seem to think they're on solid ground and I'd love a simple reference to how they're not.
I will certainly look up that phrase. Lol. My point is they try to legitimize their ideas using actual science as they might imagine different spiritual topics with higher dimensional math which largely hasn't been shown to exist even in the physical world. Kind of like they're trying to say that science finally caught up with them or some nonsense.phinds said:Generally, such folks have no interest at all in facts.

I don;t think we shoudl be discussing this in Feedback, but a) it doesn;t just not go anywhere, it also doesn;t come from anywhere - it can be non-conserved in either direction.phinds said:It doesn't "go" anywhere, it just isn't there any more.

And in more rural areas a similiar, but somewhat stronger, phrase is:phinds said:in the American military is called pissing up a rope.
That sounds like what we called in collage "a self limiting problem."Tom.G said:against an electric fence
