Study Concludes "Planet" Was Just Stellar Spots
Kligat writes "Back in January, it was reported that the youngest planet ever to be discovered, about ten times the mass of Jupiter, was orbiting the eight- to ten-million-year-old star TW Hydrae. Now a Spanish research team has concluded that TW Hydrae b doesn't exist, and that cold spots on the star's surface actually produced the dip in brightness instead of a transiting planet. Not as cool as if a planet had actually been there, but refutations are science, too, right?"
Pfft... All Your Shit's Are Belong To 'Tards.
And on a serious note, it is "Your", your way is: "You Are Shit Is All Retarded." but that kinda works with some help: "You Are Shit Foo! You Is Like All 'Tarded Mofo"
Because TECH is not SCIENCE. These appear to be somewhat intersecting sets at best.
Furthermore, Computer Science is in its pure state much more akin to a branch of mathematics than anything remotely resembling a Science.
It's not hard at all to understand how you would up in IT with an anti-scientific mind. It's also not terribly hard to understand why a bunch of IT folk shaved their heads and committed mass suicide to attempt to hitch a ride on a comet given there isn't sufficient science to suggest that might actually work.
Sometimes I wonder if programming to many isn't more closely related to magic than science. And indeed, there are many aspects of IT work that seem much more art than science.
I have no clue what you just said, but I like your sig... so I wish I had mod points. :)
