Good grief, how British of you! *haughty sniff*

OT: Particle physics... -_-
How could you hate particle physics? I don't even understand much of it but I still love it. All those cute little atoms, spinning around.
*sigh*
The X Factor. I swear, while its on all anybody talks about is 'who do you want to win' or 'did you see stupid band y go out last night' 'Oh no they were my favourite' but in a really horrid nasal voice
Exactly!

Now quantum physics... fuck that shit.
As a physicist: My Jimmies have been thoroughly rustled.

That's pretty much it. It can be anything or anyone, even a limitation to what Humans can do and anything that makes our lives harder.

Imagine if [example] never existed, how will that benefit everyone in the world?

I personally choose the need for Humans to sleep. Imagine how many more hours we can be productive (or recreate) each day.

What do you think will benefit us if it doesn't exist? War? Crime? Disease? Yes, those are answers, but they're not interesting ones!

well one could argue alot of good points for sleep as well, like moments of privacy when others are sleeping, or nighttime silence for inspiration or whatnot

there are very very few things that don't benefit anyone, i was going for Ebola, but even that probably lead to breakthroughs in other fields of medicine ... if I pick disease other parts of science would be affected. If I pick hunger, people dying of starvation means eventually less people have more farmland so can prosper etc etc

most bad things make stuff better for people, more people than you would imagine at first thought probably

Justin Bieber/MLP/Nickleback : create commonities of people/outcasts that humans need for interacting, countering loneliness etc etc, in the end that is probably better for mankind than not having them

Religion: millions killed for faith, but also gives people hope etc etc etc

if I had time could refute most things posted here :)

FACEBOOK!

why has nobody mentioned this one yet?!

If you don't use it, people guilt you into using it or assume there's something wrong with you for not using it.
If you use it, people stalk your shit.... seriously, no everyone has to when my relationship status changes, or when some person tags me in a picture! And I hate when people get pissy at me for not attending an event thy invited me to.

Also this Aerostream1908 guy..... he's a poopoo head!

MTV. Imagine the utopia we could build without the likes of The Jersey Shore and 16 & Pregnant killing everybody's brain cells!

I agree with getting rid of sleeping. That's one that's always got on my nerves. I'd also add needing to eat or just anything that the body requires to keep going. Useless faulty piece of crap. Needs constant attention and still breaks down all the time! It would be better if we could all just ignore it and get on with other stuff.

I have to add religion in as well. Don't need to explain that one.

Manufactured pop music too. You know the type. Music that's created and performed by a computer, but has a "pretty" person with a face photoshopped to oblivion on the front of it as the "artist" that exists for no other reason than to create money. All of that can just go away.

Me . I have done nothig note worthy and iv'e caused so much pain to people i think they be better off without me. /disapesr

On a less depressig note , sleep is a good one . How about monogamy ? No more jelousy and divorces no more people being possesive . Just be free to have a good time with whoever you want.

Ah, you're posting normally again :D

Seriously though, without QP we wouldn't have so much bullshit like randomness and infinites and whatever out of the wazoo!

ZOOP ZOP ZIPPIDY DOP WOOBYY WOBBA WOP

*From a book"

"So yeah there's like, lots of shit about QP and we don't even know what we're doing and everything you learned is wrong and right and yeah, electrons are travelling back and forward in time and infinite no.s of virtual particles ar-"
Yes, I had a little encounter with alcohol yesterday. Mix in Escapist, and you have pure entertainment!
But really, QP is being hyped up in popular culture. Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense, with quantum tunneling, particle-wave duality, quantum particle pairs, the uncertainty principle, etc. But trust me, it all checks out. This stuff is all happening, and it's fucking weird. And since it's so weird and unintuitive, it's gotten a stigma of not being real and just "make-believe" by physicist.

Just nuke it or something. All it does is take money and water and make them disappear.

Caramel wagon wheels. Jammy wagon wheels are the pinnacle of the biscuit world, you could never produce a better wagon wheel. Let alone the abomination that is the caramel wagon wheel.

I think I saw a Twilight zone episode like this or Star Trek or both. Anyway the point was that's impossible to quantify. And I don't want to make a choice that could change millions if not billions of peoples life's.

Yeah, i'm going to go with everyone else and say religion.
Not so much it kind of helped unify England in the dark ages, and it it never happens the world powers could be complacently different. And you just can't say if say Brazil was a larger wold power then say England if that's inherently good or not.

It all checks out but there is tons they cannot explain and haven't worked out yet, Uh huh.

Now, this book was 20-30 odd years old but one of the things it said was a set of equations (don't know if they are famous or what) ended up just spiraling off as it always produced infinities where there shouldn't be any.

The solution? Ignore them as if they weren't there. Come on, that doesn't check out.

This was the book.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/In-Search-Of-Schrodingers-Cat/dp/0552125555/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345420348&sr=8-1
I haven't read it, so I don't know what sort of equations is in question. But I know that the book is popular science, and should be taken with a grain of salt. QP will often be portrayed in a sensational way, and I guess that this "spiraling infinity" is a product of that.

Agree with sleep. That's such a deep answer actually. We spend like a third of our lives doing absolutely nothing. Imagine if we could get all the sleep we need within say a four hour period once every two or three days or something. We could work for longer and have more leisure time all in one. The world would be a richer place.
