What if quantum physics don't even fucking exist and the concept was actually invented specifically for new-age fuckwits to use the word "quantum" haphazardly in their seminars while nonchalantly peddling their quantic crystals to simpletons?

the public use of the word "quantic" and the scientific use are really different ^^ Every quack coming with a product with ridiculous claims justify it by "yeah it's quantum stuff". You can replace it with "magic" and the result would be the same
Scientific quantum theory is actually a well studied and well-known thing, that has been proved to work countless time. The computer in front of you is one of the proof of that

I was kidding . But the quack use of the word "quantum" actually is derived from the scientific one. They just appropriated the word to some supernatural shit and treat is as truth.

it's kinda similar of the use of the word "theory", that is pretty much completely different for the public and us

There was an episode of Top Gear that made me appreciate some of the skill involved in Nascar.


I would guess there is no real attachment to F1 here in the states, Nascar just grew organically and took over.

Unique is a strong word. Random mutations not taken into account, there are 23 chromosom pairs, which makes 2^23 possibilities (8 million). Since there are ~250 million sperm cells released, a number of them are the same.
(probability of one of the possible combinations not to in the 250 million is close to 0)

For eggs, a woman produces only 500 mature eggs or so during her lifetime (out of a few million available). Probability of having twice the same egg is low, but surprisingly enough >1%

If god made everything, shouldn't everything be sacred? After all, everything is a genuine expression of gods exact will, how could anything not be sacred? How can you, as a mere human, dare to show the utter arrogance to judge the value and importance of any of gods creations?

Are perpetrators of rape as much of victims as the ones they choose to rape?
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/179/6/482
If the main reason a rapist rapes someones is because they suffered neglect, sexual abuse, and trauma as a child, doesn't that make them equally a victim?
Please help me get in contact with the Pats organization because I'd love to personally deflate Tom's balls.

Well I think that labels like those are unfortunate because you're never just a rapist or a victim. Either way if a person rapes someone they'll still be be labeled a rapist in reference to that act in particular, the reason being no one gives a fuck (understandably) what were their motivations or underlying causes. The "tough childhood" and the repercussions of that are viewed separately.

Context can be used to "justify" (sort of) any act. I think there are limits to how much that can be used.

Why does an exothermic redox reaction like kerosene + oxygen release heat? Like, why do the hydrocarbons in kerosene contain more energy than the H2O and CO2 byproducts? The energy is stored in the covalent bonds? It's reversing photosynthesis essentially?

How is RP-1 different from JP-1 (or JP-8)?

It has to do with the breaking and making of bonds, yes.
It's all about the Standard enthalpy of formation and my guess, without even looking closely at the reactions and individually calculating stuff, is that when the formation of the H2O and CO2, the bonds the O2 undergoes with the carbochains of kerosene, the heat (or energy) created from that reaction, is greater than the energy needed to break the carbochains and the ones in the O2.
Has to do with electronegativity, valence and volume of the molecules I guess.
