Hypocrisy

>>7891621
How is that Hypocrisy? Pushing the importance of science is completely in line with having the opinion that science is important. Not having a degree there just means that he doesn't think he'd contribute anything to science or that he might be better at promoting science with his TV show Mythbusters.

Anyone who wears a lab coat in front of a camera will be called a scientist by the media.

Actual scientists and their work are of very little interest to the general public, especially at the level of individuals (barring historically important characters like Einstein and Newton because they teach about those guys at school).

Even I, as a lowly Physics undergrad, couldn't tell you the biggest names currently in the field. Because nobody really cares about the individuals and the personalities, just their work.

Does it surprise you that people who focus on getting their face (via their program) on as many screens as possible are better known than the people who do the actual science?

Hes not known as science guy. But hes known as cool experiments you can't do in your garage guy which is absolutely fine.

>>7891676

Planting arrows in ballistic gel is not science.

>>7891762
No single action is science. Building a goddamn particle accelerator isn't science either, since it doesn't involve creating and testing hypotheses until you turn it on.
Mythbusters does science on their show, at least in 50% of their episodes. They make a hypothesis, test it, and propose an explanation, accounting for errors. It's not technically useful, but it stands that they advocate for science by using the scientific method to test hypotheses (myths).

We don't know any names in the field because they've become uninteresting even to us. We care about the big projects and massive feats of engineering, and that really can't be credited to an individual. The days of the renegade scientist working by their lonesome to contrive some new physics is over.

>>7891686
he says "I play a scientist on TV" all the time. Look it up.

Whoever argues that he is a "hypocrite" or whatever is pathetic. That's like pointing out that someone is a bad driver and they reply "you don't even have a car!" Childish.

And yes, I'm projecting

It seems like it's just OP that has a problem with it, and /sci/ is mostly making fun of him.

>>7891671
you dont need a degree to be a scientist. If you follow the scientific method you are a scientist. Science isnt a regulated industry like medicine or law it just seems that way because science is generally so complex only those with a degree can make contributions. Nevertheless you do have backyard astronomers who discover comets and weekend botanists who study previously unknown plants

It honestly sounds like you're just ass mad.

He does science-like things on television without having a degree and you're pissed off about it? Christ, what an autist.

Something that's actually infuriating is someone I know who went to a tech college for lighting work. Someone else asked him what he does for a living.

Actually, Mythbusters follow the scientific method, trying to falsify hypotheses.

You may have complaints about the experiment design, but it's science nonetheless.

>>7891494

If true, it wouldn't surprise me the littlest bit.

I always vaguely liked the idea that the show existed, but it never clicked for me. Dad used to watch it quite a lot. He claimed that they had to fire the "hangers-on" at one point due to budget or something.

Also, he claimed that Adam and Jaime had had a falling out. I must have misread their personalities, because I sort of figured that the two at least liked each other.

Of course, this isn't always the case with a creative duo. The musical-composers Gilbert and Sullivan couldn't stand each other, and they would work by corresponding with each other rather than meet in person.

you dont need a degree to make you good. the paper doesnt mean nothing

>>7892558
Couple seasons ago they got rid of the "Build Team" to save money on the budget and continue doing the show.

Adam and Jamie have always said they aren't friends outside of their work relationship. A lot of the early seasons had the producers adding in fake drama between the two.

guess what cucks, this actual well-respected scientist didn't even finish his B.S.

Adam Savage doesn't claim to be a serious scientist; he's an experimenter and a technician, and he's actually pretty damn good at his work.

>>7891494
>Yet he is a famous "science guy".
Who told you that?

They wouldn't have made any money to stay on air with scientific show if it didn't involve something 'redneck'.

GhostBusters did.

>They are methodological about their experiment and do a good job to explain how this will give them results on the myth.

>They explain both the math and science and have consultants.

>Divide between confirmed plausible and busted which shows that experiments can be inconclusive

>Talk about the technical process of gathering the data and analyze

>Have repeated many experiments when fans confronted them with other variables to consider

>Make it so dam cool the general population loves them

They are mucho more better than black science man in showing the actual process of science because it shows the difficulty in getting meaningful results and all the shit you have to consider. Haters are first semester undergards who are buttmad about the having to calculate the standard deviation of 100 data points by hand.

>>7894880
Then you probably shouldn't listen to them, as they are just butthurt that their team naming conventions got put to better use.

What is the difference between pop-science and real science ?

You do pop-science for you and to earn money. People don't learn anything.

You do real science for people and not to ear money. People learn a lot.


I hate pop science guy and pop science media.

>>7891494
At least he's not annoying, Neil deGrase tyson and Dawkins are way worse

My grandfather was a certified engineer designing public transit systems in the 70s. He never even had a high school diploma. He taught himself up to precal level math and worked for a journeyman electrical engineer for 8 years until he could pass the certification exams.

You need to be smart to be an engineer, but not every engineer needs a college degree. Its just enforced nowadays because the markets are so saturated and competitive.

>>7891494
When has he ever been presented or shown himself as a scientist?

>>7897716
Never, this thread is bs.

>>7891793
I've only seen self important undergrads share opinions like this. Anything that promotes a scientific approach to everyday situations and popular beliefs is a god thing. Especially to people not literate in science.

I've published papers on the physics of spaghetti noodles.

You don't need a degree to be a scientist. There's a certain beauty to solving practical problems through brute experimentation.
Not everyone has to torture themselves with this shit, right? I like a world with writers and musicians, plumbers, pawn shop owners, and people who just like to blow shit up in the name of science.

Besides, I thought the show was very clear that he's just a nerdy demo guy, and that the autistic walrus that tricks people into thinking it's human is just an autistic walrus.

No one became a household name when we discovered gravitational waves.

But I also believe that it also may have something to do with most scientists being introverted and are incapable of getting the media to care about them for more than 5 seconds.

Do you really think Hawking would be as famous as he is without his a crippling disease or his computer voice?

>>7892074
tu quoque

>>7897931
It should be though.

Great minds accomplish a great deal more when they are challenged by and aided by their peers. Seriously, it has been shown that scientists and engineers who are effective in written and oral communications are much more employable and perform way better in their jobs.

>>7892729
There's most likely a ton of people doing a lot of shit more with no degree than what the suckers on this board do with a degree.

Doing experiments really is just iteration with a purpose so, who gives a shit. It's not like it takes 10 years to get the scientific method down.
