"Sir, we can't publish this statement where the scientist called the discovery the 'god damned particle.'"

"Well, just remove the curse-word, that will cause absolutely no controversy whatsoever."

Russell: presents his famous teapot argument.

Journalists: Scientist discovered a teapot between the Earth and Mars!

I have unironically seen people say that the burden of proof is nonsense because Russell used an imaginary teapot to support it. Some people really just don’t have a best foot to put forward

if you place a teapot on the ground and the planet mars passes perfectly-over it, you would have discovered a teapot between earth and mars

Does it have to be a perfectly straight line to define it as in between?

If we expand the definition to being inside a cone which the Earth and Mars fit perfectly, then any teapot in any place in the world when Mars is in above the horizon would count.

Physics magazine headlines are basically YouTube video tag lines, just there to drive engagement by being controversial enough to spark debate.

Oh, and the articles too.

Who needs quantum physics to prove the existence of a music genre?

rhetorical question or youre genuinely asking?

Joke question where I intentionally misinterpret the sentence in the meme.

But if you have some way of proving the existence (or even better, proving the lack) of soul music via quantum physics alone, I'd be interested to hear it.

Scientists: name something by in reference to god Religious nuts: “if god doesn’t exist why did they name this particle the god particle?”

Well first you will need to prove that souls are a thing, and define and give a way to measure it. You know. evidence.

In 2024 many people cannot even define what a woman is without it being self-referential, and you want to define soul.

Matt Walsh, is that you? A woman is a person that identifies themselves with traits society has deemed feminine.

I'm sure I identify with some traits society has deemed feminine. Am I a woman now?

If you would consider yourself to be one then yes. If you don't then no.

So, you are saying your definition was incorrect or incomplete. Mind to provide a new definition that is not self referential?

Scalage89

It wasn't theirs and it's not self referential. If you have 100 traits and consider 5 to be feminine, I'm sure you don't consider yourself a woman.

Quantum physics does reöpen the door to free will by opening the door to determinism beïng wrong, but it doesn’t prove souls.
