• Physics Brony Trolls the Huffington Post

    by
    As if Physics Brony wasn't awesome enough for his presentation, it looks like he managed to pull an epic troll off on The Huffington Post. 

    Trollestia would be proud! 

    (For those of you who don't know who Stephen Magnet is, hit up the FaQ button at the top that no one knows exists!)

      This isn't a isolated incident, a lot of the non-MLP sites that hosted this video mistakenly called him Stephen Magnet.

      hahaha wow, totally didn't notice the FAQ button, but I usually have it open at half-screen on 1920x1080, which cuts the page off just after the submit button.

      Also, the whole "Steven Magnet" thing is pretty hilarious. The escapist is the only one I remember actually putting it in quotes, rather than taking it as his real name.

      Ha! This guy is epic (I think the only way it could get any better is if he had said something about having an unfortunate accident with his beautiful moostache and had to shave the whole thing off). My hat's off to you, physics brony.

      This does bring into question the, er, fact finding ability of news sites, though...

      So?
      Where's the troll apart from him being called steven magnet?
      Cause the ecapist and other links used before called him that too, because his "twitter" has this name.
      Is there something else I'm missing?

      The best part is is that no one is aware his name isn't Steven Magnet.

      Nobody uses the FAQ button because most FAQs around the internet are updated once and then forgoten about. I think most people just ignore it out of habit more than anything else now.

      This. I mean, with a silly piece of news like this, it's hilarious, but when you think about serious stuff, the poor accuracy of the actual facts is frightening.

      Anyway, cheers to poni invading everything.

      I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO EQD EXPLAINING THAT ALL THE PRESENTATION CAN BE EXPAINES WITH TAQUIONS BUT THEY NEVER ANSWERED ME... OR PUBLISHED MY EXPLANATIONS.

      quantic phisics. Taquions can make something lighter because some part of the atomic mass is in another dimention, also explains the sonic rainboom:
      [2012-07-05 13:50:51] Claudioman2009 - Theorists have ...
      Theorists have argued that nothing in principle prohibits the existence of a third class of particles that travel only at speeds exceeding that of light, such particles, called tachyons [Gr. tachys,=swift] may exst although no evidence for them has been found (except for rainbowdash feathers).In the terminology of the theory, the particles that travel only at the speed of light are called luxons, and those that travel at lesser speeds are called tardyons.Like the original theory of relativity
      [2012-07-05 13:49:58] Claudioman2009 - Taquion=tachyon: ...
      Taquion=tachyon: elementary particle that travels only at speeds exceeding that of light. According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light is the limiting velocity for all ordinary material particles. Particles having nonzero rest mass can approach, but not reach, the speed of light, since their mass would become infinite at that speed. On the other hand, particles with zero rest mass, must always travel at the speed of light; they cannot be brought to rest or even slowed down.

      it also has animations related to Taquions that are very similar to RD Sonic Rainboom.
