Enrico motherfucking Fermi, motherfuckers.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That is a PERFECT representation for the God of the Gaps fallacy. Like dude hit the definition right on the head gosh dang.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago

That guy IS a demon. He is prentending not to know for manipulative reasons.Same kind of rat as the blond UK fuckface, you know the one.

[–] graphene@lemm.ee 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I think that maybe losing his job at fox news phased him more than he let on

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

He expected to be his own brand, like Musk or Trump or Limbaugh. When he realized he was still just another faceless interchangeable mouthpiece, that definitely fucked his ego.

[–] kinsnik@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail...

but i would say it is either the Curie's experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi's reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.

Most well paid clueless man, maybe

[–] Unknown1234_5@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, would love to see him, Eric Weinstein, Terrence Howard, Eric dubay, James tour, and Billy Carlson stuck in a room that they can't leave until they can prove one of their worldviews to be plausible. Would be the most entertaining thing ever watching them argue while pretending they agree with each other bc they have to pretend they are all thinking the same thing or their whole "mainstream academia" thing falls apart.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 44 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Of course not. That would require him acknowledging women in science. That would be Marie Curie.

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 14 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe he is insinuating that women are demons

[–] Atrichum@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

He nay be insinuating that jews are demons. Many of the most famous early nuclear scientists were jewish.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

That would be on point for him.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I’m not defending Tucker here but no it was not Marie Curie.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Well you have the guy who found uranium, the guy who ran electricity through a vacuum, the guy who found pitchblende, and then Marie Curie who did the experiments with refined pitchblende to create X-ray machines.

If you want to talk specifically about nuclear energy and weapons then you're probably looking for Rutherford. But he wouldn't even be conducting those experiments without Curie, Röntgen, and Becquerel.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Either Rutherford or Fermi are who you’d probably credit for that given moment.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is X-rays are absolutely nuclear science too.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Are they though? X-rays are emitted by electrons, not nuclei. They’re like, nuclear technology-adjacent. But if you had to pick just one moment in time, that moment is not x-ray technology

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

Okay. You do you.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 18 points 12 hours ago

Pakleds: "Tucker Carlson is smart. He makes the news go."

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 39 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

The real question is: and????
So we're harvesting demonic forces to power our shit?
That's fuckin' metal duuuuude. If you're trying to make nuclear sound bad you failed.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This is how you get modern Doom

TFW you're 13 and your dreams are coming true

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

He's an psychopathic idiot who laughs like a maniac on speed. I'm pretty sure his idea of research is "I spent 15 minutes not understanding the wiki."

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 11 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

He's talking to evangelicals who react when you use the word "demonic" about anything. They hold great political sway, and they have proven that they will go against their own moral interests to nurture their political interests.

Case in point, watch them get in line to vote for Trump today, despite him being the antithesis of evangelical behavior and values.

How most dumb people reason.

I have no personal experience of this thing, so it must mean it's not real.

If i dont know, nobody knows.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago

I think this is just a roundabout way of blaming the Jews.

more anti science rhetoric

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

HOLY FUCK! HAS ANYONE TOLD JAMES CLERK MAXWELL?!

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 39 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I've got the impression that Tucker Carlson is going after Alex Jones his audience. Tucker Carlson peddling crazy conspiracy theories right when the chickens are coming home to roost for Alex Jones, imo that's no coincidence. Tucker never was stupid, he just has no morals, so he never had a problem with publicly stating stuff that he personally didn't believe in. Grifters gonna grift.

[–] Sporkbomber@lemm.ee 8 points 15 hours ago

That's my initial thought as well. The weird thing though is he's already rich, he could bugger off into obscurity and live a life of luxury, but it seems like he just craves attention.

[–] genXgentleman@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Someone needs to put him in a rubber room now.

How convenient it would be to believe that the immense forces of destruction we are capable of did not originate with us

I cannot isolate the moment when magnets were known to humans. Magnets = satan.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

It's like toothpaste, how does it work? When was it invented? Clearly demons at play!

My son when he was 6 probably.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

If anything/one is demonic it's fucks like Tucker Carlson.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

Oppenheimer, Einstein, Bohr. What is this guy smoking? Wait, wasn't this guy a news anchor not too long ago? Can people this stupid and uneducated really make it as a news anchor!?

Looking at the content of the message and the name of the source, I thought this had to be satire. But the site seems to be an actual news site, and other news sites corroborate the story. Which brings me to the question I wanted to ask:

What the fuck‽
