The Air Travel Bubble Hypothesis

Every time two countries announce an air travel bubble, one of them will see a spike in corona cases closer to the flight date, dashing hopes of paid travellers, who would nevertheless be consoled that they would be given first priority for the next fight if they were not to cancel their booking.

On the one occasion when the air travel bubble hypothesis was apparently proved wrong, the decades-old Soviet plane that was carrying a few dozen Russian mercenaries and terrorists was never heard again after take-off—had the ATB hypothesis struck in a more deadly form?

family rod hypothesis

The belief that children who are abused (emotionally, physically or sexually) inevitably go on to abuse any children they have themselves. Thought up by an abusive and deeply narcissistic parent who wanted to dismiss any misgivings on their own or their offspring's part as the idealism of green and inexperienced minds, and who held to the belief that if everyone does something it must be OK. Truly adult minds are not impressed by such phony reasoning. If the family rod hypothesis were true, the human race would rapidly be descending into violent dysfunction, with new traditions of bully-boys being established as the old ones persisted. A rather dangerous idea in the age of the multi-megatonne thermonuclear warhead, don't you think?

Like all redneck bully-boy cowards, John taught his kids the family rod hypothesis.

reinforcing the hypothesis

To act drunk even when you're not.

When Dave started tripping over things, we guessed that he was drunk. When he starting mumbling to himself later, it was just reinforcing the hypothesis.

Hypothesis

Those big ass things at the zoo that swim and go on land sometimes

Guy 1: you see that hypothesis eat that watermelon in one bite.
Guy 2: great googly moogly that hypothesis must be packing
Guy 1:*snickers* he’s not the only one.

Guy 2: *blushes softly* oh he he. I have a hypothesis of what it might look like.
Guy 1: you dont have to guess. *pulls guy 2 closer*
Guy 2: you wanna take this somewhere private
Guy 1: there’s nowhere private, I don’t know if we can *gets discouraged*
Guy 2: I think I might have a spot
*Guy 1 and 2 hop in the hypothesis’ mouth and have extremely passionate sex.

Hypothesis of Retrocausality

A speculative framework proposing that retrocausality—future events influencing the past—is a real physical phenomenon, not just a mathematical curiosity. The Hypothesis of Retrocausality suggests that time's arrow is not fundamental but emergent, and that at deeper levels, causation flows both ways. This could resolve quantum paradoxes (like wavefunction collapse), explain non-locality, and even open possibilities for time-symmetric physics. The hypothesis is not yet proven, but it offers a elegant way to think about quantum mechanics: the future and past are in dialogue, each shaping the other. It's a radical reimagining of causality itself.

Hypothesis of Retrocausality "Entanglement seems to connect particles across time as well as space. Retrocausality hypothesis says: maybe the future measurement influences the past preparation. Not spooky action at a distance, but spooky action across time. The universe might be a four-dimensional block where past and future are equally real—and equally causal."
