Wasn’t there a big budget biopic on Oppenheimer that released last year?
I can’t recall the name of it… But it was for sure centered on Oppenheimer while he helped develop nuclear fission weapons.
If anyone can remember the name of that biopic that focused on Oppenheimer, please let me know, it’s killing me.
There was a really big popular movie last year, I think it was called “The Barbie Movie”
The splitting of the atom was only referenced in a single line in that movie and it wasn’t Oppenheimer who did it. Then Fermi’s first nuclear reactor was only briefly mentioned in one scene. Oppenheimer developed the nuclear bomb specifically.
So you clearly missed the point of the exercise, thank you for debating all the minutia of my joke to me.
Have a great day!
The punchline of your joke is that the answer is Oppenheimer, but it isn’t. Your joke just doesn’t make sense lol
What is a nuclear bomb but a single-use, disposable nuclear reactor?
Oh well sure lol.
But if you want to isolate “The moment nuclear technology became known to man”, the splitting of the atom or the reactor that was built before the atom bomb are probably what you’re going to go with.

I am 99% sure that film was called “Lise Meitner”
No i believe it was the one called “Big Explodey”
Dude went to see Barbie a second time to seethe about feminism. Entirely missed Openheimer. “Too long, too sciency.”
Curse you. You stole my outtake.
“In other news, Carlson fell asleep ten minutes in to Oppenheimer, and Barbie made him uncomfortable.”
He saw Barbie and thought it needed more spanking.
He was concerned Fat Man had diabetes.
Of course not. That would require him acknowledging women in science. That would be Marie Curie.
Maybe he is insinuating that women are demons
He nay be insinuating that jews are demons. Many of the most famous early nuclear scientists were jewish.
That would be on point for him.
I’m not defending Tucker here but no it was not Marie Curie.
Well you have the guy who found uranium, the guy who ran electricity through a vacuum, the guy who found pitchblende, and then Marie Curie who did the experiments with refined pitchblende to create X-ray machines.
If you want to talk specifically about nuclear energy and weapons then you’re probably looking for Rutherford. But he wouldn’t even be conducting those experiments without Curie, Röntgen, and Becquerel.
Either Rutherford or Fermi are who you’d probably credit for that given moment.
The thing is X-rays are absolutely nuclear science too.
Are they though? X-rays are emitted by electrons, not nuclei. They’re like, nuclear technology-adjacent. But if you had to pick just one moment in time, that moment is not x-ray technology
Okay. You do you.
How most dumb people reason.
I have no personal experience of this thing, so it must mean it’s not real.
If i dont know, nobody knows.
This is just something that I will never be able to comprehend… How can someone be so completely incurious?
He knows better. It’s an act to make money. It’s all about the real god, Money.
God money’s not looking for the cure
God money’s not concerned about the sick among the pureYeah, in this case, sure. But I guess I was talking about more in general. These people are out there. I would wager that there are millions of them in the US. At least.
Yeah. Some of them are dumb. But all of them have been fed decades of bullshit “news” and are indoctrinated.
For sure… But it seems like a whole different level of indoctrination than just like “being a Christian” or whatever.
Like, you have to be OK with ignoring objective reality. It’s just something I have trouble grasping.
Yeah, the real question about him: Does he accept his payoff in rubles, or is he the kind of two-faced mercenary who demands dollars? (I know my guess.)
I think this is just a roundabout way of blaming the Jews.
Academics : exists
This fucking guy : “no one in the entire world knows when nuclear power was first theorized, and then confirmed by several experiments”
How most dumb people reason.
I have no personal experience of this thing, so it must mean it’s not real.
If i dont know, nobody knows.
you are now banned from Atheist Memes.
People aren’t atheist because they have no personal experience proving the existence of a god.
Atheism isn’t a belief system.
The lack of evidence for a god is why atheists exist.
Personal experience and evidence are two different things.
Atheism is a belief system. It is the belief that there is no deity.
The scientific approach is agnosticism. In the absence of evidence, or what one considers evidence, the scientific answer is “i don’t know”.
Personal experience and evidence are two different things.
And a lot of what we consider to be scientifically proven, are theories, which are subject to constant change. The best example probably being atomic models and how rapidly they developed in the early 20th century. However that Bohrs atom model of circular movement of electrons around the atoms core was succeeded by more detailed models and the circles being disproved, doesn’t mean Bohr was any less of a scientist or evidence based researcher.
Meanwhile except for very few physics experts we all just accept that orbitals are the best approximation we have right now, because we read it in some book.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. It’s not a belief that one doesn’t exist.
There’s a distinction there. You can look that up. You will find you are mistaken.
P.s.i find your willingness to trivalise scientific research and discovery as “some book” intollerable.
In the context of my original point, the difference between a scientific theory and some political monstrosity not believing something because they have no personal experience of the subject is incredibly large.
Don’t try to legitimise that clown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism
Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism
Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact. It can also mean an apathy towards such religious belief and refer to personal limitations rather than a worldview. Another definition is the view that “human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist.”
Aside from that, whether you accept and believe scientific discoveries remains a subjective choice. In social sciences like history or economics it often happens that two contradictory views are equally legitimate. And again the look in the past is valuable. Many scientists were ridiculed, sometimes even persecuted for their ideas to be outside the consensus of their time.
Assuming that what you consider the accepted truth because it is the accepted opinion of our day and age could proof equally fallible like the ancient Greeks and Romans ridiculing the now accepted germ theory, for which we have ample evidence thanks to the development of microscopes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease#Greece_and_Rome
So your original ridicule is perfectly viable. It just not only applies to the statements of Tucker Carlson, who i probably despise equally as you do.
I have loved ones that I very much care for that I have to do these mental dances with. Certain groups or cultures of people may have a bias towards only looking at scientific evidence that promotes their hypothesis, well established institutions can sometimes be “stuck in a rut” but I would include people like graham hancock in that group. Science is a beautiful thing though, new data and experiments doesn’t care what your belief structure is. Your germ theory is a beautiful example where thought was put into a hypothesis and was slowly formed over time with new evidence. Religious and spiritual aspects do not require this with belief. What was the last study done by a religious scholar that a deity exists? What was the last religious text that was changed due to discoveries or experiments that were done?
It’s important to realize that scientific study is a rigorous system and not everyone follows it to the best of their ability. Slamming a label on like “whether you accept and believe scientific discoveries remains a subjective choice” is not a valid statement.
The basic difference between objective and subjective information is that objective information is based on facts, while subjective information, or a subjective perspective, is based on opinion, emotion, or feelings.
The very fact that you’re using subjective choice to look at scientific data means you’re not actually following the scientific method (explains how something goes from hypothesis-theory-law). It’s ok to have a hypothesis that’s different from mainstream, it’s not ok to declare being subjugated because you aren’t following the method to show your data and claiming it must be a law.
If you’re going to dance around the science/spiritual circles you need to have proper respect for both parties when communicating directly (if you want everyone to understand what you’re talking about). One example is “Energy”, means two very different things when talking to an electrical engineer or a new age “star child”. The distinction needs to be made for sound scientific communication that doesn’t impede someones belief.
I highly suggest checking out “The Hidden Story That Defines Our Modern Era” from Like Stories of Old. This is a prime example of how you can bind modern communication and stepping into the religious/belief structures of our history while maintaining respect for everyone.
Richard Dawkins argued that agnostic is a meaningless term. He said that anyone who is given irrefutable proof of the existence of something and still refuses to believe is a fool and that non-theist is the better term for people that don’t buy into the whole god thing.
The real question is: and???
So we’re harvesting demonic forces to power our shit?
That’s fuckin’ metal duuuuude. If you’re trying to make nuclear sound bad you failed.He’s an psychopathic idiot who laughs like a maniac on speed. I’m pretty sure his idea of research is “I spent 15 minutes not understanding the wiki.”
This is how you get modern Doom
TFW you’re 13 and your dreams are coming true
He’s talking to evangelicals who react when you use the word “demonic” about anything. They hold great political sway, and they have proven that they will go against their own moral interests to nurture their political interests.
Case in point, watch them get in line to vote for Trump today, despite him being the antithesis of evangelical behavior and values.
In case anyone wants the answer, it’s late December 1938, when two physicists went for a walk in the snow near Stockholm to discuss findings a colleague sent via letter.
Further reading: Lise Meitner – the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize
Given Tucker’s views on women, I don’t see a discrepancy
Eh, I don’t even want to give credence to Carlson’s garbage by repeating it. But even if we imagine Otto Frisch was somehow there alone making drawings in the snow, we still know when it happened.
Of course we shouldn’t do that. Meitner was by far the more experienced scientist and expert on the topic.
They are just saying that any of the scientists could/would become the “demon” arguing against is just a lesson of futility
Womb demons tricked her into discovering neutron radiation
it’s late December 1938
Lise Meitner – the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize
What a lady, what a night.
Demon cores aren’t literal.
WHAT THE FUCK
Play with my screwdriver daddy uwu
It’s making me smile know what just happened to you after reading that comment and wondering what a demon core could possibly be.
NCD
isisn’t leaking enough
Been a lot of “demon” talk from him lately. Tucker’s literally turning into Alex Jones before our very eyes.
I have never met a person who can isolate the moment when Tucker Carlson became Alex Jones. So, where did it come from exactly? …it’s very clear to me both are demons.
There is no known point in time where Tucker Carlson and Bill Hicks were in the same room. Do your own math.
Oh man, I’d love to hear Bill’s views on Fucker.
Courting the same demographic
I think you mean demongraphic
Demongraphic
I guess they kicked him off Fox. A heir has to eat, may as well grift the elderly.
Reportedly he has a very worth of $50M. If that was just in investments getting 4 percent a year, that would be $2M annually for doing nothing. Kind of gross to stoop to that level for money when you have so much.
thankfully tucker has never been kind of gross
I’ve got the impression that Tucker Carlson is going after Alex Jones his audience. Tucker Carlson peddling crazy conspiracy theories right when the chickens are coming home to roost for Alex Jones, imo that’s no coincidence. Tucker never was stupid, he just has no morals, so he never had a problem with publicly stating stuff that he personally didn’t believe in. Grifters gonna grift.
That’s my initial thought as well. The weird thing though is he’s already rich, he could bugger off into obscurity and live a life of luxury, but it seems like he just craves attention.
That is a PERFECT representation for the God of the Gaps fallacy. Like dude hit the definition right on the head gosh dang.
That guy IS a demon. He is prentending not to know for manipulative reasons.Same kind of rat as the blond UK fuckface, you know the one.
Bore is
Ah yes, the ol’ “if I don’t know something, then it MUST be X” argument.
Substitute X for whatever ya like! Demons, ghouls, demon ghouls…the possibilities are endless!
Dude my brother-in-law.
Fuckin’ aliens built everything! Baghdad Batteries? Aliens. Pool of mercury in a pyramid? Alien Power Cell that we don’t understand yet.
Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…
but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.
Did Bill O’reily skip the third grade?
Andrew Shultz origin story revealed
I see!
There’s only one explanation
Pakleds: “Tucker Carlson is smart. He makes the news go.”
“I have never met a person who can…”
Who the hell are Becquerel or the Curies!?
This is a technique of theirs “I’ve never met _____, therefore ____.”
Everybody knows Marie Curie was a woman and woman’s contributions to science just don’t exist or even register. Women scientists are literally the devil. /s
Marie Curie didn’t discover fission; that was Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch and colleague Otto Hahn. But yeah, same problem. Meitner was left out of the publications and overlooked for a Nobel Prize.
well if women scientists are the devil then nuclear science WAS developed by a demon. checkmate atheists /s
Demon wranglers
