No, but in other examples, incorrect grammar can make a statement scientifically incorrect.

I’m not saying you’re wrong to believe that people would be upset, perceiving being double charged, I’m just pointing out that if people were upset, it would be irrational, and gave the example of a two-parter with a normal release schedule to explain why.

They are if you just release them a year apart.

Part of me wonders what would happen if you released a movie in two parts at the same time. If it were direct to streaming, that would essentially just be a mini (micro?) series. But in theaters… I’m not sure that sort of thing has been done
- Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS 5 weeks ago:
The whole thing about flat earthers is that they come up with more and more elaborate explanations to fit each individual observation, when Occam’s razor says that the theory that explains them all should probably be the correct one.
Like, they’ll argue about refraction of light due to hot air being the cause for the disappearance of ships past the horizon, and then their explanation for how time zones work is something else entirely, and why we have seasons, and why planes take the routes they do, and all this other nonsense. They all need separate, complicated explanations, and they willingly accept them and vehemently deny the simplest theory that ties everything together.
The actual explanation for this behaviour is flat earthers are a friend group, doubly so for the people who pushed “globeheads” out of their life. So to change their view is to socially isolate themselves

- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 4 months ago:
The difference in relative acceleration implied by the meme is on the order of tens of yoctometres (10⁻²³ m) per second per second.
It’s a difference so small that it would be overshadowed by the fact that you’re holding one object femtometres higher or lower than the other in the gravitational field.
Additional sources of error to consider at this scale might be the heat radiation from the surroundings providing radiation pressure on the object, the sloshing of Earth’s core causing time-dependent variations in the gravitational field, the location-dependent variations in the Earth’s gravitational field, and the difference in centrifugal (yes, centrifugal in this reference frame) force due to latitude differences of one micrometre, and also due to natural variations in the rate of Earth’s rotation over time.

“More recent research has produced a more precise emperical relation, -4.2x^3.761+√(sin(2x²/π))±erf(e²ˣ+37), which produces results which are 0.2% more accurate on average.”

The angle of the arc in degrees is (180π-90)/π², or if you’re a person of culture, the angle is (2π-1)/2π

It is, but like everything imperial, it is cursed. So it still has a degree sign by convention despite being an absolute scale

- Comment on Conversing with Mathematicians 7 months ago:
You can find the value of ln(-1)¹⁰ by examining the definition of ln(x): the result z satisfies eᶻ=x. For x=-1, that means the z that satisfies eᶻ=-1. Then we know z from euler’s identity. Raise to the 10, and there’s our answer. And like you pointed out, it’s not a particularly helpful answer.
- Comment on Conversing with Mathematicians 7 months ago:
Therefore i¹⁰ = ln(-1)¹⁰/pi¹⁰ = -1
This is true but does not follow from the preceding steps, specifically finding it to be equal to -1. You can obviously find it from i²=-1 but they didn’t show that. I think they tried to equivocate this expression with the answer for e^(iπ) which you can’t do, it doesn’t follow because e^(iπ) and i¹⁰ = ln(-1)¹⁰/pi¹⁰ are different expressions and without external proof, could have different values.

Scientific literature doesn’t always take on the observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion form so strictly. A lot of the time it’s “Thiis is the state of the field so far. Hey look what we found, that’s interesting. Conclusion: somebody should look into this”
