"F*cking magnets, how do they work?!"

***WARNING: POST CONTAINS MUCH BILE AND RAGE**

I realise that I can come across very agressively when I am pissed off about something I am passionate about. And that my views are my own. If you are looking for an entierly polite and sensible LJ post to read today I suggest you move along, I am not looking to offend anyone. I am just venting.

I can totally agree with this, I'm honestly just weirded out by people who can't accept science and the scientific method but easily accept things like say baking (well I just tweak it a bit if the cake isn't right and remember it for next time, or ask another cook how they've seen it work or how they think the eggs/flour interaction works) or painting (well if I don't think the orange is right I just change the red/yellow mix and remember it for next time, or ask another painter how they achieve effect X).

Seriously, how fucking complicated is that? Try it, test it, if it doesn't work make a note and change it for next time, ask other people looking at the same kind of thing, eventually work out an overall theory of cakes/paints/evolution/giant rocks falling from the sky and publish it so more people can try it, test it, etc.etc.etc.

Incidentally people have tried to fix the "how does that work" problem: http://laughingsquid.com/noisebridge-attempts-to-teach-science-to-juggalos-at-insane-clown-posse-show-in-san-francisco/

I'm tempted to shout about how its not rocket science but hey, it totally could be.
