It Is Literally Nothing!

[The Nexerus]

Are you saying that nothing is nothing? That's contradictory.

I feel like everybody here thinks they know something, but in actuality we really only know nothing.Boom. Socrates.

So, they think they know something about nothing, and starting to debate about nothing and describing nothing, and in the end will achieve nothing from all this talk about nothing ?

PS: Barioth, LOVE your Sabretooth dragon sig.

Thanks, it's a Barioth, a majestic creature.

Also, it's more like believing you know something about nothing is just arrogance.

It's the age-old problem of scientists, when speaking to the public do you use terms familiar to those in your field, or do you use terms familiar to those in your audience?

If you use terms familiar to those in your field, you confuse the audience.

If you use terms familiar to those in your audience, you amuse your colleagues.

Which is why it's so hard for a proponent of evolution/global warming to explain to the public what's going on, people don't understand the dialect of science (not just the terminology, but lingo, words that have familiar meanings in common language but are used in very different ways in science).

I actually only discovered them fairly recently. That shot of Rhett with the wig I just couldn't resist making my avatar for some reason, and the whole concept of a sensory deprivation tank by itself kind of fascinates me. If any other Youtuber I follow had uploaded something relating to them recently, I probably would've just posted that.

Now I kind of want to try it. They sounded pretty stoned after they got out.

Yeah. I remember seeing a VSauce episode a while back where they touched on this sort of thing, and said something about how, when all your senses are cut off and your brain has no sense of the reality around it, it kind of makes up its own reality. That's why people tend to hallucinate when they do this sort of thing.

Admittedly, seeing Rhett and Link do it has put it on my bucket list. It did look like a pretty wild experience, and I'd like to see what my brain comes up with when it has no reality to work off of.
