Abstract: For every lucky/unlucky event you experience, you will experience an unlucky/lucky even of similar magnitude in the future.

The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is a theoritical phenomenon where, whenever something or someone experiences a lucky event, they will experience an unlucky event of similar magnitude in the near future, and vice versa.

The Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange is connected to gambler's fallacy, where the latter is essentially an over-reliance on the former. This does not mean the Law IS gambler's fallacy; one is merely a stated hypothesis, the other is a mistake on the user's end.

The Hypothesis holds some physical value objectively. In most of society, if you do something bad to get something good (the lucky event), you will get caught and punished (the unlucky event). Additionally, going through hardship (the unlucky event) makes you work harder, thus making your future better (the lucky event). Of course, this is merely a hypothesis; inaccuracies are bound to happen.
"Did you hear how Little Timmy got into a car accident the other day? Apparently, his insurance paid him mad stacks after a bit of lawyering up on his end; the Hypothesis of Equivalent Exchange really saved him there."

The Hypothesis of the 11 Dimensions of Reality are a speculative, semi-cosmic framework that expands reality beyond the usual 3D + time setup and goes full multiverse mode. It starts grounded (length, width, depth, time) and then progressively spirals into probability, branching universes, meta-universes, and finally… absolute nothingness. Often used in sci-fi debates, metaphysical arguments, and by people who say “hear me out” before explaining existence itself.

Breakdown:
1–3. Length, Width, Depth – Regular space. You can bump into stuff here.
4. Time – The “you can’t go back but you wish you could” dimension.
5. Probability – Every “what could’ve happened” timeline.
6. Branching Universes – Same starting point, different choices, infinite regrets.
7. Different Start Universes – Same game, totally different character creation.
8. Universe Plane – The multiverse’s group chat.
9. Universe Hopping – Skipping realities without going step-by-step.
10. Infinite PossibilitiesLiterally everything that can exist, does.
11. Void of Possibilities – Beyond existence, beyond potential, beyond “bro.”
“Bro, in Dimension 6 of the Hypothesis of the 11 Dimensions of Reality there’s a universe where I passed that exam.”
“Yeah, but in Dimension 11 none of this even exists.”

TDAH (shortened form of the words "the drug associative hypothesis" - Basically the knowledge and awareness that certain types of media can influence what substances we take- hence example...
Mother 1: Hey, chris is listening to Pink Floyd, so be prepared- he might take LSD sometime in the future...

Mother 2: Hey, Sarah is dancing to rave music, so be prepared- she might take Ecstasy sometime in the future...

Father 1: Hey, Danny is watching The Simpsons, so be prepared- he might take alcohol sometime in the future... oh wait, thats not bad :)

TDAH (the drug associative hypothesis)

Note- This is not necessarily accurate, however the term relates to the lifestyles and media influences associated with the drug in question, and is an easy way of identifying what drug might be craved and taken under the influence of what lifestyle the given person has chosen :P

hollow earth hypothesis

A hypothesis proposed by some that states the earth is hollow and may have people or tiny suns inside of it. Jules Verne used this idea in a story of his, The Journey to the Center of the Earth (sorry I can't italicize on this phone).
Others believe were on the inside of the earth and outer space is inner space. However its proved that space is expanding so that's debunked.
Jon believes the earth is hollow on the inside, so he is an adhereant to the hollow earth hypothesis.
