element which doesn't fit nicely into the known laws of physics

You might be offended but you really do need this; you’re an uneducated idiot spouting nonsense and you should stop.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You might be offended but you really do need this; you're acting like an asshole when a simple correction would've sufficed.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Please be my guest and spend your life correcting misinformation spouting morons on the internet instead.

The morons don’t listen or learn and only pollute online spaces.

So no a simple correction would not suffice and you would know that if you were paying attention.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're still acting like an asshole.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And you’re responding like a moron. You have failed to engage at all on the topic of misinformation and instead choose to defend spreading brain rot.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You’re still acting like an asshole. Blocked.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good, that was always an option.

I'm sick and tired of "being an asshole" being a reason to be dismissive of someone who is correct. Have all my upvotes

[–] weew 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've got ogmios tagged, they have a history of espousing bullshit as "fact", usually with some religious bent to it. Their science education likely came from a pastor and I doubt they'll ever sincerely try to actually learn science.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fair enough. Still, there's no reason for the other guy to act like a dick.

Down boy. You are correct that I made an error there, talking off the cuff late at night about some of the coolest things I learned while actually getting an education in STEM. Water behaves in some really strange ways, such as being so slippery in solid form by maintaining a thin layer of liquid on the surface, or having vastly greater surface tension than other liquids.

Go use your super powers to help people who are actually in danger, instead of slinging insults at random strangers who use one word wrong while discussing their interests.

It’s not one word it is the entire thrust of this claim

doesn't fit nicely into the known laws of physics

Carbon and H2O have been studied extensively, they are well understood and your claim is counter to that.

If you had issues understanding it or believe it isn’t intuitive then that’s fine but a blanket statement that physics models are ‘broken’ when it comes to water is ridiculous.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My dude. You came into a thread where people were happily discussing interesting things and started shitting all over the walls.

Get help.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Your incorrect non-answer to the question helps no one.

Your shitposting is the issue here.

Get educated.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is a forum for discussion open to the general public, not a scientific symposium. Get some perspective.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So you went from ‘mr STEM’ to ‘shitposting in public is my right’.

Well I agree, it’s a public forum, being called out on your bullshit is part of the fun.

Get over yourself.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Didn't go from anything to anything. Both are true. And you're still causing far greater problems than anything you've solved.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The problems are your hurt fee fees and they're more important than the facts are they?

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Have you seen how much of this post is you arguing with multiple people? You're doing far more harm than good here.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You could have just said you don't know why those carbon rings are there or even (the horror) kept quiet.

Instead you posted bullshit and got called out.

I don't care beyond telling you that you are full of shit and should know when to shut up.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I used one word in error. What I posted was not bullshit.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I used one word in error.

Wrong as I have already clearly stated.

Carbon... which doesn’t fit nicely into the known laws of physics

This is complete and utter bullshit and the fact you don't understand this is really damning.

Remember the actual question?

What’s a carbon dust shell and why’s that cool?

Carbon is well understood and behaves as expected. Science can and has explained why those carbon dust shells are present in the JWST image.

So you didn't address the question, you were wrong, and you've continued arguing about it because that's what morons spreading misinformation do.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Carbon still fits into the laws of physics you nonce.

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not neatly. It defies many standard rules, as explained in that link. It's super cool!
