Entropy is blown out of proportion? Yeah right it's as fundamental as energy, it ought to be taught more.

entropy is literally a crucial tool for doing thermodynamics. if you were able to pass undergrad thermo you should realize it is crazy useful

spotted the young earth creationist

anyhow, blown out of proportion:
>superposition
>entanglement
this stuff is mathematically trivial but humanities majors who write popsci drank the quantum woo woo kool aid

This concept is NOT blown out of proportion, in fact, what kind of pop-sci are you fucking reading that talks about entropy of all things?

Wojacks are popsci, btw, they appeal to the same crowd.

Funny how the Pop science cucks are always the ones who had an interest in science but weren't capable of actually doing the hard work that it takes

black hole physics is really interesting anon. as ‘t Hooft says, the black hole is the most fundamental “laboratory” for gravity and quantum mechanics.

i agree however that Katie Bouman publicity was a huge pile of crap

Yea and your average normie isn't gonna understand that. I'd wager majority of them would be blown away if they learned about most shit in chemistry/physics. I don't see it talked about much desu, and it is pretty cool so I give it a pass.

Fully overblown though is def. quantum mechanics

Yeah when you consider that it only applies to the whole universe over all time, not locally.

Bruh...You're either into STEM stuff or you're not. Trying to glamorize it to appeal to midwits creates the cancerous pop-sci shit we are dealing with now. Actual STEM fields are as badly understaffed as they have ever been while these cockroaches masturbate themselves to shit you learn about science in K-12 education
