Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Ugh. Shit like that makes me gag. Science is beautiful. Don't ruin it with your 8th grade poetry.
I think it was cute
Sorry to disappoint you. Most scientists love poetry. People that can express the principles of our fields beautifully are our heroes. Watch talks by eminent scientists: they are more often than not exceptional communicators as well as thinkers.
Is this you?
Alright, I'll bite. Why did that make you lose interest? Do you think it's not right, and are you familiar with Quantum Field Theory?
I didn't assume anything, bud, I asked you two questions. The reason I wanted to know if you're familiar with QFT is because the analogy of song makes sense to me, in the context of QFT, and one reason to dismiss the analogy is if you don't know anything about QFT and think someone's just spouting hippy-dippy bullshit. I wanted to make sure it wasn't that.
It's too bad you don't like the song analogy. Maybe we'll find something on an even smaller scale shaped like dicks and then it'll be Quantum Dick Theory, and if someone comes up with poetic language to describe the universe in dicks that'll be popular too. That seems unlikely because of maths I don't understand, but whatever 🤷♀️
But, you don't like it because it stops making sense to you at some point. Cool. Am I allowed to ask what that point is and why it doesn't make sense past it, or do you just wanna tell me to go jerk off again?
Right, so you've got all this experience and knowledge and all you want to do is complain that people get it wrong, you don't want to do anything to change that by say educating someone who's engaging in good faith. Consider my mistake noted, I'm no longer interested in anything you have to say about anything. You're not old, you're horrifically rude and unnecessarily aggressive. Good day.
I feel like the main reason you don't appreciate the song is because you don't own a vibrator strong enough to really vibrate your whole body.
But that's only the half of it, you should really look up and listen to the Song of Warm Gravel. We have a lot in common with warm gravel. We are both atomic in nature and warm to the touch. Much like we share 99% of our DNA with asparagus or whatever it was, our song is very similar to the song of warm gravel.
I thoroughly love that you say you're unsure if I'm being sarcastic.
So someone that understands it better than you is jerking themselves off when they explain it to someone else?
Did you also think all of your teachers were jerking themselves off every day in front of the class?
You said you don't understand it. Obviously they understand it better than you do.
"I don't get it, so it's dumb" is not the thought process of a learned individual.
Edit. Lol Lemminary here decided to DM me a long ass rant after all their comments were removed.
