Make a list of things which are studied in Astrophysics, that while may be in astronomy, is more emphasized in astrophysics than regular astronoy

@Jm31xxx But we already know antimatter exists. We know what it is and how it works. And we know dark matter exists but we haven't exactly determined what it is.

So you stopped listening to people because they were right?

@AgapeLove there is a divide between classical Newtonian physics and quantum physics. Both models of the universe work, but not at the same time.

@Jm31xxx Incorrect. The divide is between relativity and quantum physics, not classical physics.

@BlueMetalChick no I stopped listening because it was obvious they're stealing stuff from cheap Sci-Fi novels

@Jm31xxx The science fiction novels stole it from real science. Are you actually trying to say antimatter isn't real? This isn't a new thing, we've known about antimatter for longer than you've been alive.

@BlueMetalChick it's just an attempt to paper over scientific shortcomings

@Jm31xxx So successfully conducting experiments and making new discoveries is a "shortcoming." Of course.

@BlueMetalChick if by "successfully" you mean [i] successfully got the government to give me money[/i] then maybe it's not a shortcoming

@Jm31xxx Antimatter was discovered in 1932. But you "stopped listening to astronomers" when they "started talking about antimatter."

So you're, what, almost ninety years old, and you were listening to Paul Dirac and Carl Andersen discuss the possibility of antiparticles before the Second World War started?

Maybe you should research these things before you make shit up. Just a thought.

Maybe a more reasoned approach considering he's 31-35?

@BlueMetalChick was it discovered in 1932? I didn't know that. Please post pics

@AgapeLove This is what my sister calls the "bullshit conspiracy of big science." People do this most often with climate science. They flip the conspiracy on its head. Deniers will claim that "big science" is a thing that exists, and that researchers are trying to push a fake narrative so they can keep getting big money grants from the government. Oh, those greedy scientists and their $20,000 yearly grants.

Now, the conspiracy is correct, but from the wrong side. Because it's really the phony scientists funded by the fossil fuel industry who are the perpetrators. They push a fake narrative that climate science is NOT real, so they can continue to profit off their own products.

@SW-User

@BlueMetalChick astrophysics?

@Jm31xxx Pics of what? Be specific, Bob (Incredibles reference, +10 points)

And, you also mentioned dark matter. Something else you didn't know, dark matter was first theorized the year after antimatter was discovered, in 1933, by Fritz Zwicky in Switzerland. He called it "dunkle materie" which is German for, literally, "dark matter."

So once again, you're a nonagenarian who used to follow astronomy and theoretical physics until it got too ridiculous because they were ripping shit off of science fiction?

Maybe we could talk about dinosaurs and the great flood again! 😃

@AgapeLove The government funded the moon landing, the discovery of the polio vaccine, and the creation of the internet.

But fuck those things, that's all big science bullshit.

@KayraJordyn Oi...let's not. I really started to question your mental health after last time.

@BlueMetalChick Yu might accept critique, or might not, but if you want serious conversation don't end conversations with conclusions you've given them.
