Why do we bother using electrolysis for hydrogen manufacturing when we could just build a large magnifying glass and boil water to get the hydrogen? Pic related

Hydrogen bonded to oxygen. Water's covalent bonds don't disassociate at the energy water evaporates at.

Climate change deniers can pretty much be divided into three categories:
1. People who are upset that their unconscionable hoards of money will be smaller than they expected because of climate-change legislation when they finally kick the bucket
2. People who have been bribed or threatened by Category 1
3. People who have been lied to by Categories 1 and 2

Santa Claus deniers can pretty much be divided into three categories:
>1. People who are upset that their unconscionable hoards of good boy points will be smaller than they expected because of santa claus legislation when they finally kick the bucket
>2. People who have been bribed or threatened by Grinch
>3. People who have been lied to by Categories 1 and 2
Therefore Santa Claus is real. Deniers stay buttmad.

i'm not in any of those 3 categories though

I'm more worried about the people who believe it and don't give a shit.

What do you think about the Alcubierre drive? Is it worth to research?

Everything is worth it to research.
Even if you find out you can't do what you set out to there's a chance something else might get uncovered.

I ask because many claim that warp drive is a dead end.
>>
>>8849821
>>8849854
People claim the warp drive is a dead end because the prerequisite is negative mass.
Negative mass doesn't violate our current theory of how the universe works, but it hasn't been observed either. Only very recently was "effective negative mass" observed.
It is worth it to research? Yes, but if you want to go by the model presented, you need to research how to find or create negative mass first. It's a dead end now because we have no idea how to make that required exotic material.

What can we do to combat the anti-intellectualism surrounding social sciences, economics and humanities? Even many scientists in the STEM fields fall for it. How can we reach out to these people and tell them that science isn't a pick and choose game?

No one cares
What's the safest kind of water to drink? I've been drinking bottled water for years and need to stop.
Is a Brita filtered pitcher ok to use? It's made of plastic though. Is it still bad, or is it ok since water hasn't been sitting in it for a long time like with bottled water? I'm not sure how it works. There's also faucet filter but I've heard they can cause issues, leaking, etc.
Any recommendations?

Just get a reverse osmosis water filter that will remove fluoride.
>>
>>8854227
Too expensive. Maybe in the future but I'm looking for something cheap at the moment. I'd like to get the filtered pitcher but I'm not sure if it's safe because of plastic. I'm considering the faucet filter but I've heard people have had problems with it.

>>8854223
Just drink the water you paranoid fuck.
