AI Thread Summary
The National Geographic program "End Day" explores various doomsday scenarios for humanity, including viruses, meteors, and catastrophic events from particle accelerators. Viewers express frustration over the dramatic presentation of these scenarios, especially since the show concludes with a disclaimer stating that while the events are theoretically possible, they have been exaggerated for entertainment. The program's approach raises concerns about the balance between engaging storytelling and factual representation. Many feel misled by the sensationalism, as it presents a bleak outlook followed by a reassurance that such events are unlikely. Overall, the discussion highlights a disconnect between the show's dramatic content and its closing reassurances.

I just saw a program called end day from national geographic. Its about the fate of human kind. What do you think the most likely scenioary is? They showed virus, and meteors, and a particle accerorlator machine gone mad which created huge black holes that took over the planet (They said this last one wasnt possible)

ahahahha i just read a disclaimer on this show that basically went 'although these stories are possible, we have made them more dramatic then they actually are'

What hte hell kinda crap is this. They basically show an hour of doomsday scenarios and then at the end go "oh none of this can happen, don't worry *cut to credits*"

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
