@neiltyson@scifri discussion with Robert Carpick from U Penn. Best theory is related to friction:http://sciencefriday.com/segment/02/07/2014/ice-science-a-slippery-quandary-for-physicists.html … -
@neiltyson@scifri Key takeaway is that we still don't know. And thats more interesting.

@neiltyson@Denny_Morrison FacePlants tend to do the same thing ! -
@Royal_BLT@neiltyson Id wager the ice doesn't melt so much during a face plant which is why the friction between face+ice causes rash/burn

@neiltyson If time is relative, does that mean I've been dead for trillions of years? -
@GeekFurious@neiltyson no you fucking idiot what does that even mean -
@unofficialjoel@neiltyson The fact that you don't know what it means makes you calling me an idiot priceless. -
@GeekFurious@neiltyson science isnt about meaningless speculation, it's about understanding what literally exists, not your hypothetical BS -
@unofficialjoel@neiltyson It was a philosophical statement about the nature of being. Relax, lunatic. -
@GeekFurious@neiltyson I don't think you know the slightest thing concerning the nature of being
