Muffin theory

A reminder that science proposed theories are often wrong, and rarely publicly admit that they are wrong and like the atom no really understands the true nature any better than before and what we think we know cannot be proven or disproven about the muffin.

The "muffin theory" of the atom is an analogy used to describe the plum pudding model, an early scientific model proposed by J.J. Thomson in 1904. This model was the first to suggest that an atom had an internal structure.

In the plum pudding (or muffin) model:
The atom was considered a sphere of uniform, diffuse positive charge, much like the dough or cake part of a muffin.
Negatively charged electrons (which Thomson called "corpuscles" after discovering them in 1897) were embedded within this positive sphere, similar to how blueberries or raisins are distributed throughout a muffin or plum pudding.
The total positive charge balanced the total negative charge, making the atom electrically neutral overall.

This model was eventually disproved by Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment around 1909. The experiment's results indicated that most of the atom is empty space, with all of its positive charge and most of its mass concentrated in a tiny, dense, central nucleus, leading to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.

Black box theory

Another failed metaphor for understanding the complex and subtle ways of women.

You can never really know what's happening inside the black box (mind) so disregard trying to know, and observe complex behaviour instead. (Self respecting women will avoid men with this paridim.)

invisible string theory

when you meet a person whether knowing them for a while or not and y’all share information about eachother and come across something like an old class photo for elementary school or ya’ll parents meeting at a bar ages ago. From the song Invisible String by Taylor swift these signs usually mean ya’ll were meant to be.
n/a- Omg i you won’t believe it i found an old photo of when my mom used to teach school and you were in her class back in 1st grade.

n/a- stop it no way, the invisible string theory is real

arden theory

The Arden Theory is that no one named Arden actually looks like they’d be an Arden
Person 1: “oh look at this girl, Arden”
Person 2: “her name is Arden? She looks more like a Caitlyn to me…”
Person 1: “totally.”
Person 2: “see? Arden Theory.”

Conspiracy theory

What about Fat-Cock Self-Preservation Theory, Cody? What do you think of that one? The most profound and accurate conspiracy theory on the web!
Hym "How's this for a conspiracy theory: The accusations of liar and grifter do nothing to hurt right-wing pundits EXPLICITLY BECAUSE they aren't intended to hurt them but, rather, deflate the value of liar and grifter accusations in a deliberate attempt to cover for ineffective political opposition. Because sure you're calling them a liar and a grifter but if you can keep them in the forefront of people's minds you can keep out the MORE EFFECTIVE opposition out of the lime light and maintain the status quo. So, denigrating the political opposition ISN'T TO GET YOU TO STOP LISTENING TO JORDAN PETERSON... It to get you to focus on Jordan Peterson instead of me. Because he is harmless and ineffective and I am not."
