Science fails again: Faster than light neutrinos not so fast afterall

pretty much this, tesla is the scientist for people who dont actually know anything about science
meh, tesla was ok, honestly I think the best physicist ever was newton, he simply decided to come up with physics all by himself

I love Tesla so much I would tell him with lasers from my eyes, but that comic needed an editor so badly it hurts. Fucking annoying.
Tesla was a pretty poor scientist all things considered. An electrical engineering genius, sure, but he thought Einstein was poop (thought to be fair everyone did) and believed in the existence of the luminous aether.
Also, masterful title, Oblivion.

Ha, happens all the time OP. They'd have you believe that they're always right, but it couldn't be further from the truth. If you listened to everything scientists said, you wouldn't even be able to gaze at the Sun or have a drink with a nice bottle of NyQuil before bed. Don't let any 'scientist' tell you what is or isn't right and definitely don't let them tell you how to live your life.
That isn't a cycle at all! It's a line. It's The Science News Line.
I am off to write a strongly worded letter to the content creator.
This made me chuckle more than it should have.

science is proving science, and your point?
I don't think 'these people' would ever consider their views as gospel. Academia are trained to be very critical about their own work and others.
well, if you are ill, you can listen to your doctor or you could try treating yourself.

Sarcasm is difficult to detect in writing. Especially if you don't know the person writing it. So its not really "obvious" that the OP was being sarcastic because people do exist with that viewpoint... unless you too are being sarcastic?
Nah it was pretty obvious. Unless you are a non-native speaker.

I loved the snarky, sarcastic op.

That's not true. If you can detect sarcasm in real life social situations, you should be familiar with it on the internet.

Are we now going to start downplaying Tesla? This thread has definitely taken a turn for the worse. The man was always an engineer first and would often see things fully complete in his head, and then from there he'd attempt to build it.

Some scientists are right, some are wrong. Science as a whole progresses.
I'll give you a general rule: One experiment made by one lab going against a 100 years old dogma is always a bit fishy and has to be carefully checked and rechecked. That's how it works in science and that's what happened here, so yeah, science still wins. Don't there there's any physics textbook out there which was edited to "some stuff can travel faster than c".

Nothing wrong with Tesla but a lot of people overhype him, especially those who don't actually view his works in context.
