I like the idea, but it won't work properly.

Because click revenue, of course.

This violates science so hard I'm looking at my degree with pity and shame that things like this, despite all the information out there, continue to be perpetuated.

This would totally work.

Holy fucking shit. I read three comments and my head literally exploded. Someone tell me it's going to be okay.

Hence why I stay here where it's safe. Good luck picking up pieces of your head.

I looked at the story and a few of the comments before I had to look away, but from what I gather it is like the conveyer belt runway BS from a couple of years ago? There is only one response:

A high school physicist could make the same mistake nearly every commenter makes. But it's not a closed system.

I've actually started searching the Kinja interface (sic) to look for a way to anti-follow certain authors. Andrew Liszewski , everything you post will be tainted and questionable to me from now on.
