LOL, I was just reading this book on biology about the mating habits of finches, storks, and she-wolves :

Quote "Every animal mates only with a member of the same species. The titmouse seeks the titmouse, the finch the finch, the stork the stork, the field mouse the field mouse, the dormouse the dormouse, the wolf the she-wolf, etc."

Basically, when they go on about meme stuff like spooky action, many worlds, dark matter, etc.
They like to sound like wizards.

Oh, that sounds dumb. I’d rather just read about the hard, established stuff. Dark matter should be relabeled “Dark Gravity” since it’s a bizarre and misleading assumption to call it “matter”.
