many analytical persons are not good at handling real things. it was said that some physics labs will "forbit" certain theoretician entering the lab because equipments would magically be broken after they left

Agreed.
After hours spent dealing with power supplies and address line pins burned out from previous semesters, software looked a lot brighter than hardware.

I'm worse. Several years ago, I had needed a single solder for a home project. I went to the tech area and a tech volunteered to do it. I wanted to frame his work when he was done (and he did it so fast, we may have gone back in time.)

it super fun, but your right when it comes time to test and something just isn't working correctly and after hours of reviewing code, you look back at the board to find a cold solder point that sort of works sometimes.
it's even worse when making your own PCB's and pulling your hair out to find a little bit of tracing bridging two circuits that you didn't catch during board cleanup.

When you suppose, you make a supposition.
When you hypothesize, you make a hypothesis.
When you theorize, you make a theory.
But what do you get when you surmise?
How does one make a conjecture?

Surmise and conjecture can both be used as nouns or verbs.

You get a surmisal.

You get a conjective.
Those are the noun versions.
Spread them around on the Internet far and wide and they'll get included in the OED (eventually).
I mean a few years ago canceled was speeled with one l and now they do it with two cancelled.
Also, the dictionary finally gave up on irregardless and just made it mean the same thing as regardless.
Don't even start on flammable and inflammable.
Also people send me email and say, "please see the below chart". Which we all know is wrong.
They should be saying "please see the chart below".
English is quite pliable. Just keep pressing on it and it'll bend to your ways.

Don't you just love it when non-scientific sunshines write about highly technical issues? According to this article the speed of light is 186,000 MPH.  NO! Sunshine - it's about 186,000 miles per SECOND! More accurately it is 670,616,629 MPH!

It's msn.com. What do you expect, intelligence?

Since MSN almost certainly chooses news articles to re-publish using an AI, it is proof that AIs can be Artificially Dumb too.

So, what is the speed of dark?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It is well known that dark is faster than light.

186,000 miles per hour is the speed of light in a Telstra fibre ...

Getting the speed of light right isn't particularly technical, more of a fact you can google in about two seconds per hour (or about 9.46 trillionth(!) of a light-year)

I don't think that the Universe has slowed down, but I certainly have!

Must be a rumor - everyone knows that the only thing that can travel faster than light are rumors.

Reminds me of an article a few years back which claimed the distance from the Earth to the moon was roughly 238,855 thousand miles.
So it's somewhere in the Oort cloud then?
