  4. Re:Anything but on Nobel Prize For Medicine Awarded, Physics Soon To Follow · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Nobel prices in the sciences are usually very conservative. I don't think we will not see a Nobel price for dark matter until the responsible particle(s) has been discovered.

    Do you think the price for a Nobel Prize will be significantly higher than the prize itself?

    Its state doesn't matter, because it changed when it was observed. My guess is either alive or dead. Radioactive cats have eighteen half-lives.
  12. Cognitive dissonance. on The Wrath of the Apple Tribe · · Score: 1
    Confucius^WWikipedia says:

    Cognitive dissonance is a psychological state that describes the uncomfortable feeling between what one holds to be true and what one knows to be true. Similar to ambivalence, the term cognitive dissonance describes conflicting thoughts or beliefs (cognitions) that occur at the same time, or when engaged in behaviors that conflict with one's beliefs. In academic literature, the term refers to attempts to reduce the discomfort of conflicting thoughts, by performing actions that are opposite to one's beliefs. [...] Maintaining conflicting principles (e.g. logically incompatible beliefs) or rejecting reasonable behavior to avoid conflict can be increasingly maladaptive (non-beneficial) as the gap being bridged widens, and popular usage tends to stress the maladaptive aspect. Cognitive dissonance is often associated with the tendency for people to resist information that they don't want to think about, because if they did it would create cognitive dissonance, and perhaps require them to act in ways that depart from their comfortable habits. They usually have at least partial awareness of the information, without having moved to full acceptance of it, and are thus in a state of denial about it. This "irrational inability to incorporate rational information" is perhaps the most common perception of cognitive dissonance, and this or another example of extreme maladaption would appear to be underlying many conceptions of the term in popular usage.

    O, RLY? AFAIK Venus has no or negligible magnetosphere (and that - solar induced) and is significantly closer to the Sun, yet its atmosphere is thicker than the Earth's. Don't parrot, read this.
