    Not sure, I guess the idea is that in the film they were saying they faked the space race to get the Soviets to work harder and waste money, but it doesn’t really make sense and I think that’s the whole point. It’s meant to be absurd propaganda.

    spoiler

    Which is why in the movie, cooper isn’t at all mad that his daughter got into a fist fight with some kids over them believing and denying the original real textbooks which explain how man did actually land on the moon.

    What are you talking about, we all know the lunar landings were faked to bankrupt the soviets /j

    Seriously though, best bet for long distance space exploration just like they said in that movie is to find a wormhole. It’s probably the only real way to travel across the universe in any reasonable amount of time.

    Edit: Do people not get the movie reference to Interstellar?

    Would Anomalocaris actually do well in the modern world. I feel like they probably wouldn’t do so well in the modern ecosystems of much more evolved marine creatures. Would get out-competed very quickly, and likely face plenty of other challenges. Being out-competed is likely the reason they went extinct in the first place.

    I think the only thing that is really pumpkin about pumpkin spice is the association with pumpkin pie. Pumpkin on its own doesn’t have much flavor though so it would taste like whatever you put on it. If the combination weren’t used in Pumpkin pie as much as it is, it probably wouldn’t even be called pumpkin spice.

    Let’s also not forget that Scientists are also humans. Humans with their own beliefs and biases which do get transferred into studies. Peer review can help reduce that but since peers are also humans with their own biases, but also common biases shared amongst humans it’s not bulletproof either.

    There will always be some level of bias which clouds judgement, or makes you see/think things that aren’t objectively true, sometimes it comes with good intention, others not so much. It’s always there though, and probably always will be. The key to good science is making it as minimal as possible.

    It’s only science if you’re willing to accept the conclusion the observations lead you to even if they prove your idea wrong, because the point of science is to learn and gain understanding, and that is done by being wrong about things and investigating to find the correct answer.

    It’s no longer science if you’re not willing to accept the conclusions because they prove your idea false, which ultimately is the problem that happens with science deniers, they are unwilling to accept being wrong.

    It won’t float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

    Edit: Melts, doesn’t sublimate, still won’t melt all at once though.
