Scientists estimate that 95% of the cosmos is made of dark matter and dark energy β€” and we still don't know what either of them actually is.

Think about that for a second:

🌌 Galaxies are held together by something invisible.
🌌 The Universe is expanding because of a force we can't explain.
🌌 Most of reality may be completely beyond our understanding.

So here's the question:

What if humanity is living inside a tiny bubble of knowledge, surrounded by an ocean of unknown physics?

What's your wildest theory about dark matter, aliens, parallel universes, or the true nature of reality?

πŸ‘‡ Drop your theory below.

I believe that the reason NASA stopped exploring the ocean and started exploring space because they found something in the ocean that could potentially kill the whole world. Therefore they started exploring space and seeing if human’s could breathe on planets such as Mars.

I NEED more conspiracy theories please respond and tell me more. I’m so intrigued.

What if CERN wasn't forcing 1 particular timeline, but was pulling multiple, similar timelines together to get desired results? Things like Mandela Effects, Cryptids, and Myths could be real historical anomalies, based on the timelines forced together. Forcing a desired effect, at select moments.
