@PhysicsHawk I get random books whenever I go to the library. I don't seek out books on 90s comedians, but I can learn things about the effects of drugs and how that derails one's future. Learning occurs in many ways, and branching out into crazier topics promotes learning.

@PhysicsHawk This just shows that our attention is interfered with in different ways. Some people may be able to focus without problems when someone is chewing food in their ear, but I know it's hard for me to do so. The same can be said about discussions with music as well.

@PhysicsHawk By sheer number of attempts, it makes it more verifiable, but I also believe the dedication it took to do this also makes it better as well. Feynman didn't feel it was necessary to make crazy claims like the other guy did, but he did seek to find out the answer.

@PhysicsHawk We could conclude many things based off of one result, but that wouldn't make them true. It wouldn't be smart to retest it, nor would it yield similar results. Counting while having a fever sounds like a dumb idea, anyways.

@PhysicsHawk Oh, everyday. It's too easy for me to say that but it's good to have friends that like to discuss things (and not be afraid to give their own opinions) so I don't get complacent with my thoughts. It could be about sports (favorite players), or anything else.

@AwesomeMan582 @PhysicsHawk Stumped, Andrew, you have stumped me. My most intelligent response is: I don't know, and I don't think I can know.

@GrahamR39014690 @PhysicsHawk That's what you think...

@PhysicsHawk French Class.
We would learn the words for food, then the next class we would learn which countries spoke French, and were then tested only on the population of Haiti.
A shame, because it is a beautiful language if taught right.

@PhysicsHawk Some things are mysteries to me, but not for others, which is something I take solace in. While I'm not sure how cells work, I am comforted by the fact that some people do. Most advanced scientific concepts puzzle me still as well (like quantum theory.)

@PhysicsHawk Patterns make up daily life, everything from weather to political polls, or money, and stocks. Patterns are highly scientific in the way that looking to the future is all logical, so such thinking could lead to scientific progress.

@PhysicsHawk That's true, I just think the difference would be the hesitance to postpone yet again. While losing money and support would be bad because of a third postponement, losing astronauts because of faulty equipment would be worse.

@fields_40_ @PhysicsHawk Well said Drew! I agree!

@PhysicsHawk It’s always mild to hot in Florida, and on that day, it was 36º outside. It still is the coldest day on record for Cape Canaveral, of course, nobody expected it. I thought they had pushed the launch multiple times, so they were under pressure to get it done. #feynmanchat1920

[kb @kbjunior11]

@PhysicsHawk Oh, absolutely. I wouldn’t say I have too many experiences with doing so, but I know sometimes I ignore smaller assignments in school and put them off until the last minute because they aren't priorities, and I have done well on them before. #feynmanchat1920

@GrahamR39014690 @PhysicsHawk Good point Graham! I bet they didn't want people to find out holes in their operations, especially because public opinion on NASA isn't necessarily the best right now.

@PhysicsHawk I think they wanted to avoid him being a controversial figure, and that criticism of a tragedy like that wouldn’t go over well. So I can understand, but they are writing the book on what he’s said, so a request from him surely shouldn’t be turned down.
