What scientific study are you waiting for that'll just shit on everything we've once thought to have believed in?

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

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

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.

I would like something proves the “interconnectedness of all things” as Douglas Adams put it……something that proves individualism is a disease or a flaw, that could be eliminated, unlocking whole earth potential.

I would settle for evidence of Gaia theory that proves if humans don’t get our shit together, Mother Earth will give someone else a chance .

That the Big Bang is just one of many bangs

Communicating with animals.

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

We find out we need douchebags because our their assholery emits some kind of pheromone or something that repels imperialist extraterrestrials

Edit: some series did something like this, right?

P = NP

Aspartame cures cancer, but only when ingested in soda.

Pi equals exactly 3.

The most effective, universal vaccine is based on asbestos.

A consistent model for the expansion of the universe that explains the different rates observed

I think you have something there with the booger theory. Please do testing and report back.

I think it’ll be wild if AI actually becomes incredibly intelligent. I’m thinking specifically about materials and what crazy new one AI could dream up but at a level that would require it to actually think and not regurgitate some LLM data it scraped.

Gravity + velocity: the practical applications of time travel. That or anything investigating anything to do with sentient energy because that will shit all over 99% of every religion.

The breakdown between quantum and classical physics is proven to be optimizations in a simulation and then everyone kinda shrugs because it's real enough and scientists are driven up the wall trying to figure out some sort of way to actually use this knowledge for any purpose

The actual impact of mankind on climate change, taking all other factors into consideration

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.

I consider Extended Wigners Friend Problem Experiment to be quite fascinating. This experiment has already been performed, but I expect its results to be fully understood by the masses. And I am not proffesional physicist and want to understand it better too by myself. a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality The results of this experiment call into question one or more assumptions about the existence of objective reality, freedom of choice, or locality. All three cannot exist together. But personally, I think that the second and third points have been checked a lot of times, so no matter how improbable it may seem, the first point is the most likely. But what it really means remains to be understood.

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?

The Earth is flat.

What is dark matter?

Like a fairly realistic one: measurement exclude a cosmological constant as the explanation for cosmic acceleration in favour of a quintessence scenario.

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.
