    To be honest, this is a pretty dumb meme. Those last 2 boxes could be labeled almost anything. Dark matter, dark energy, gravitons, extra terrestrial life, etc.

    But hey, at least you tried!..I guess.

      Dark matter, dark energy, gravitons, extra-terrestrial life… those are all things that are theoretically possible, and the proof of their existence may actually be found in your lifetime.

        have you seen the crazy stuff they’re doing with the JWST? like seriously. It’s mind blowing.

    I’ve asked theists so many times- if their god has a direct or indirect effect on the universe, it should be detectable. How do we construct a god detector?

      I’ve tried before. They usually just default to the god as first cause argument, maybe point at the universe and say look, there’s your proof right there. It’s useless.

        Do those alternate dimensions have a direct or indirect effect on the universe? If so, that effect should be detectable. Same with a god. It’s about what it does to the universe. There certainly are physical theories which posit that higher dimensions have an effect on our universe and they are supported with evidence.

    Am I allowed to nerd out and add dark matter to this? I just wish more people would consider modified gravity. 🤓

      I say “Dark Matter” is a bug in our world’s program, there is no way to make sense of it from in here.

    Why are all the memes on this instance so freaking stupid? Thank goodness it has its own sub. Could you imagine showing this sort of hackneyed drivel in public?

      Hackneyed drivel, like a billboard with a big red X through that image of man evolving from ape, and in big bold red letters ‘NO! GOD CREATED!’ You mean hackneyed like that? Because I’ve seen that billboard in public and I’d rather see this any day of the week.

        That’s just idiotic. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather the other side of a debate make themselves look stupid? How do you make your point when you have idiots in your pip gallery holding up shit like this?
