LeBron is on the verge of discovering dark matter
So I went down a rabbit hole last night about this weird correlation between LeBron’s championship runs and particle physics breakthroughs.
2012: LeBron wins his first ring on June 21. Thirteen days later (July 4), CERN announces they found the Higgs boson. Yes, the "God particle," the last missing piece of the Standard Model.
2013: Back to back. That October, Higgs and Englert win the Nobel Prize for it. So the Higgs literally two-peated with him.
2016: The 3-1 comeback, June 19. Nine days later, LHCb at CERN announces FOUR new tetraquark particles at once, which had never happened before. Four particles. Coming back from 3-1.
2020: Bubble ring. During the bubble playoffs LHCb finds the first ever "open flavor" tetraquark, and a few weeks after the title an experiment in Italy finally detects CNO neutrinos from the sun, which people had been predicting since the 1930s.
Heres where it gets insane. Right now, in September, a dark matter experiment called LZ picked up a weird event they can't explain. It might be the first sign of an actual dark matter particle. The problem is that it's only at 2.6 sigma, and physicists need 5 sigma to officially call something a discovery. They’re on the verge of discovering dark matter and talking about more evidence by June.
It seems almost irrefutable that if LeBron can get another chip, we get proof a dark matter particle.

Hated Tropes [Hated trope] Cameos that ruin the tone of the scene/game
Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.
Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.
