The theory of a “flat Earth.” Most commonly in the minds of uneducated persons, people who are stubborn and people who will always believe for what they believe in.
The Geocrometricalistic Theory is in the middle of an undisciplined argument in democracy against the people and the scientists that form an emotional barrier on how wrong this method is.

A sheep mentality on how well music played in a nightclub or at an event is responded/reacted to depending on how busy the place is, and nothing to do with the music at all.

Category theory, *very basically*, is the study of functions. ANY functions. ANYTHING that changes some object to another object is fair game here. Because of this FUNDAMENTAL property of "changing stuff into other stuff" being everywhere (lambda calculus, programming, normal math functions, even) it can reason about MANY disciplines of math, programming, and even language! So basically, it's universal tools for many things. Pretty useful! :)
My buddy has a PhD in pure mathematics and says.. "Studying category theory is like eating your vegetables." Not sure what that means but it has never left my mind. // Also it is technically composition not functions but shh we don't want to scare away the people who just saw this definition straight away

An easier way to say Theory of mind.
In psychology, mental theory refers to the capacity to understand other people by ascribing mental states to them. This includes the knowledge that others' mental states may be different from one's own states and include beliefs, desires, intentions, emotions, and thoughts. Possessing a functional theory of mind is considered crucial for success in everyday human social interactions. People use such a theory when analyzing, judging, and inferring others' behaviors. The discovery and development of mental theory primarily came from studies done with animals and infants. Factors including drug and alcohol consumption, language development, cognitive delays, age, and culture can affect a person's capacity to display theory of mind.

The theory that (regarding any upcoming physics test) you either know it or you don't. Not to be confused with the Ridings Postulate, which states that you either know it or you don't regarding ANY test, not simply physics. Applying these ideas often results in failure.
Me - "Dude, I have a physics test tomorrow! Fuck!"
Ridings - "Same. But I'm not studying, according to my theory, the Ridings Theory - in physics, you either know it, or you don't."

The scientific and philosophical theory stating that at any point of its' existence- there is at least one tomato either submerged, or floating upon any of the worlds oceans.
Me: "I'd like to introduce you all to Aflo's Theory-"
Scientists: "Oh? What is it?"
Me: "It is a theory stating that at any given moment- there is at lest one tomato in the ocean."
Scientists: "-And what, pray tell, is the purpose of this theory?"
Me, now revealing the backpack of tomatoes I brought to the beach: "Gazpacho."
