Human imagination is INFINITE!

Try to imagine a new color...

Oh, hmmm... FUCK!

umm ok...

I don't know if Facebook and science mix...

They don't, not really, while that page does have some interesting articles linking to new discoveries, etc. It's mostly full of psudo-scientific humour.
It's not really "Ifuckinglove science" so much as "IfuckinglovesciencejokesthatIdon'tgetbutwantpeopletothinkI'msmartsoI'mgonnalikethispretendtolaughbutsecretlyknowthatIhadvenoideawhatthey'retalkingabout"

Or, on the opposite end, this:

 

 

 

Labeled 'A joke that 90% of people will not get,' yet Schrödinger's cat has became so mainstream many people will understand it just from meme-themed tee-shirts they've seen online. Yet, I make a joke about my surfer friend’s wave function collapsing and I’m the weird one.

Your inference must have been destructive. Haha I am so funny!

 

*sigh* that was lame.

I chuckled at your wave function crack.

 

It does seem that certain aspects of the scientific world become well know not from a search for knowledge, but a widespread grasp of what is quirky.

Even that picture of Albert Einstein where he is sticking his tongue out is a great example.

People have a poster of that all over the world, yet most probably don't know anything about the man aside from he is the E=MC squared guy.

 

I couldn't figure out how to square the C, damn weak ass computer knowledge.

There is a Subscript and err... Superscript... (I think the opposite of sub is super anyways) button to the right of Bold, Italics, underline and Strikethrough.

Excellent.

And so my repertoire is further bolstered.

If you don't want to use SuperScript² There is also charactermap² for the proper one, or you can write it out old school. e-mc^2

When I had a Facebook I did find some of the material/ pictures on the I Fucking Love Science page quite humorous.

Hey.
Humans have trichromatic eyesight. (Three primary colors: Red Blue Green, as we're talking about light).

Some animals (including birds) have tetrachromatic (4 primary colors) sight, and their forth primary color is in the ultraviolet range. Thus that means that there are actually colors out there that we don't see that we may be able to someday through genetic modification.

See, the way that it works is that in your eye you have 3 different types of cone cells, and each process a different color channel, red, blue, and green. Birds have four, red, blue, green, and ???.



(P.S. You just got SCIENCED!)

Yeah, but I don't find that all that amazing, what is interesting is the idea that our greens may be different and your green may be a colour I have never seen before. Now that blows my mind.

Vsauce did an interesting video on that

Science is the best thing that ever happened to humankind! FACT. I'm currently reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins, awesome book.

[No-Danico]

Agreed, very good book. You should read The Selfish Gene next. But keep in mind it was first published about forty years ago. He has an autobiography coming out that might be interesting. I usually hate biographys, but his could be cool.
