Nothing too serious, i want to hear your petty, your eccentric, your off beat takes.

Humans have no clue about anything that has happened millions of years ago.
The so called scientists are making up stories, assumptions, and extremely wild guesses about that topic, but they would never admit it.
For example, astrophysicists know very well how flexible time itself is. But when it comes to old ages in earth’s history, all the estimates assume that everything has been working in exactly the same manner and speed as it does right now. And that’s just one of the wild guesses.

You are correct, in my opinion, and yes you are the right hand side guy in this context.

I do not mind the insinuation, but if this is the case then the middle text must be made different! I simply do not agree that humans know with near certainty what occurred millions of years ago.
Maybe i am both the leftmost wojak and rightmost wojak, since their fundamental belief is in unity. A superposition wojak. I can be stupid at times but i manage to be smart at other times. Good day sir!

You have to consider the scope of the knowledge we are able to obtain about the deep past. We certainly know nothing about the particular events of a given day 2 billion years ago, but we can determine lots of broad/granular knowledge based on the available evidence.
When it comes to physics, we are able to verify both the accuracy of models in the present and the consistency of these models with evidence from the past, all the way back to the inflationary period after the “big bang”. The universality of physics across time and space is generally a necessary assumption to seek any understanding of the universe across time and space. This does not, however, mean that this assumption is baseless. A universe inconsistent with this assumption would almost certainly produce evidence of this inconsistency, which has never been shown to be the case. To the contrary, tests of universality on observations from the distant universe based on physical constants measured here on Earth have only ever been consistent with universality.
We can wax philosophical all day about the unknowability of all things outside our own minds; but ultimately we must work with the tools at our disposal, fallible though they may be, to understand our world. The same tools that allow us to know that a ball will fall when thrown also allow us to understand the early, and distant, universe.

The real thing the US fast food market is missing is Indian food and it could be a serious game changer in terms of providing healthier / vegetarian options.

I want a fast soup restaurant. Very healthy vegan soup, which may take a while to make, but it’s already made in the morning so it’s fast.
