Why do our terms suck so much?

>alpha radiation
>beta radiation
>gamma-ray
>x-ray
>Neutron radiation

None of these terms besides the last one tell you anything about what it is or what it does.
You might as well call the x-ray a Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen ray, since it at least teaches you who came up with the dumb thing.

Have you ever completely disregarded a scientist's work because of his religion?

I just refuse to accept anything from Einstein.

His contributions are completely useless. I downright think he stole the photoeletric effect from someone else. The relativitistic comes from Poincaré-Lorentz works on optics. All his oppositions to Bohr in the Solvay summits were failures. Einstein's contribution to kinetic theory of gases were all bust with plenty to better works replacing and forcing him to review his work on viscosity, per example. The Brownian Motion was, as it's in the name, a phenomenon from Brown.

I just hate how Einstein is shilled all the time as the greatest of all time. He wasn't. By all metrics he was a massive failure. Even his photoeletric Nobel was a joke, he basically got that by reading Planck's paper and working in a patent agency where he had a lot of time to read other people's work and steal ideas.

I just can't help but agree with Lattes, the discoverer of the meson-pi, who was a former jew. Einstein was a fraud and did not contribute anything to science as to be compared to Planck and Schrödinger.

How to retain more information for academic purposes

No.13450548 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I regularly lose arguments about all types of topics not because I do not know anything about them, but because I forget very crucial details or the sources of the information. Also I often help fellow students at uni understanding topics they struggle with just to end up with worse grades in the same subjects as them because I simply forget details during the exams.
Are there ways to combat this? I'd like not taking drugs and I don't think it is due to my lifestyle, because it is even happening when I live healthily and not locked up due to corona for prolonged amounts of time, although that makes it worse.

Hoping to squash a terrifying discovery

No.13444289 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Was just contacted by a friend about a potentially terrifying discovery pieced together about the vaccines regarding Illumina sequencing of the genome, reuters, FDA and pfizer.
Im brewing more coffee and trying to dig through again but wanted to share what was presented to me in the next post as it isnt my specialty and maybe I just am spooked.
I didnt expect a discovery like this to come from /pol/ but I wanted to share it here despite the fact that some may dismiss it due to the source and also due to crude language at times.

Why don't we just engineer a plant that takes up C02 at very high rates and plant a lot of it?

If all that stuff about Rising sea levels is true why don't we just dig Giant holes in the Ocean to drain all the water into them?

What is the medical definition of life vs the legal definition? Is the legal definition based on science or just some arbitrary bullshit to mess with the laws?
