Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.

    Solid proof that the source of all life on this planet actually began on a different world. The critical components came here via a comet or even an spacecraft that inadvertently dropped it off. Should screw with a lot of ideals

    A high-resolution picture made on nearby “neutron stars” or nearby “stellar black holes”.
    Like dark matter and the big bang they don’t exist and
    so whatever they’re looking at will never conform to their theories.
    Both of these type of objects are stars larger than jupiter with the latter being the largest class of supergiants.

        The more detailed pictures will be of these type of objects(stars),
        the harder it will be to ignore their large sizes
        and thus theories about them.

        Too many of these space objects are not behaving as they should have,
        and so any crutch theories about them will be crushed.

        Stars simply don’t work the way we think they do.
        Planetary and star formation simply doesn’t work the way we currently think they do.

        And the clearer the pictures are of these space objects,
        the more clear it becomes that what scientists theorized
        of what they thought they were looking at, just isn’t it.

        One of them that should have alarmed scientists,
        but hasn’t, is how comets suspiciously look like asteroids,
        pure rock, while they should have looked very icy with
        some dust sprinkled on them.
        You might even say that they look the same, but are just
        traveling in different orbits.
        And that would explain why the Philae lander’s harpoons
        wasn’t able to penetrate “the ice” and instead bounced back.

    If it turns out there really is no free will. What will happen? Do we get a kind Utopia? Or fascism where you are mistreated based on your lot in life?

      There’s no functional difference, unless you can accurately predict someone’s actions, and to do that you’d need to predict the environment in which someone is making choices as well, which requires omniscience. So, there’s no functional difference.

          Yes, but if there is true free will, the universe would not be perfectly predictable. If it is, then there could not be free will. Luckily, it isn’t.

            I would say deterministic rather than predictable.

            I think the universe is deterministic and that there isn’t something inside our heads that bypasses determinism and creates free will.

              But we know for sure that the universe is not deterministic.

              From a fundamental level, it is probabilistic.

              Simple experiments can show this chaotic action.
              Take for example the dripping tap experiment. The time for next drop cannot be predicted by knowing the timing of the previous drops!
              This is not a random process, there is a pattern, but it is also clearly not deterministic.

                We can’t predict it because we can’t possibly know everything. But unpredictably isn’t the same as randomness or implies nondeterministic behaviour.

                  If you are really interested, look into the uncertainty principle.

                  At this point in science we are as convinced as is possible to be; that the universe is probabilistic in nature.

        Remember the reasons we have punishments? To discourage further misdeeds. Also, to restore justice by inflicting suffering on those who deserve it. Punishments would still be dished out for pragmatic reasons, but retributive punishment would be rendered entirely meaningless.

        It would also shatter all sense of acomplishment an individual could have. All that would be left is maybe a perverse pride in knowing you where born “better” than others.

        I don’t think society would survive if it was a common knowledge.

    Causal relationship between social media and degradation of basic critical thinking skills. Not just tiktok, anything in which people are primarily communicating asynchronously and has a “reward” (likes, upvotes, etc)

    So Reddit/Lemmy for sure included

    I’ve got a couple that roll around in my head, radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point. Assuming we don’t burn ourselves off this earth in the next few years I think we’ll see some progress on this. Moderna is known for their COVID shot, however they have basically eliminated melanoma with a tailored injection. Last I looked at it, it was in it’s mid stage or something and was almost 100% effective.

      Radiation therapy is bad. We know that, its a last resort tool to fight cancer. Once we find something to finally kill cancer before getting to that stage, i hope to see no more use of such treatment.

    COVID originated in the swamps of the deep south.

    Edit: obviously, not really, but we shouldnt be too quick to judge where it came from.

      Were you around when the Fort Detrick conspiracy was going around? Obviously not true but has more evidence than the Wuhan shit so was fun to use to push back against that.

    Microplastics and penile length. Seen some studies recently though lol.
