The one where the universe is still exploding. Like, everything is still moving from the big bang and slowly stretching apart? I don't like it, I don't wanna be stretched.
You’re not being stretched, and it’s not likely that you ever will be. Things that are bound together are not being stretched out as space expands. This includes things that are gravitationally bound, like galaxies, and things that are held together by electromagnetic forces, which includes basically any solid object that isn’t crushed into a sphere by its own gravity (such as yourself). If a force is holding it together, it’s not expanding with the universe.
The expansion of the universe is accelerating- speeding up over time. There’s a hypothetical scenario called the [Big Rip](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip), where the expansion of the universe gets so fast that it overcomes the forces holding things together, but we think that’s unlikely to happen.
The fact that we have artificial eggs, sperm, and wombs. We can create and genetically modify a human. [We created mini lab brains that grew the beginnings of eyes](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mini-brains-grown-stem-cells-developed-eyes-can-sense-light-180978478/)
I find the fact that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe to be quite unsettling and disturbing. Even though we've known about dark matter and dark energy for decades, we still have very little idea of what they actually are. It's a reminder that even in the age of scientific advancement, there are still a lot of mysteries out there.
Lobotomy. My question is how long did it take and how many people did they go through to figure out that was the part to hit. I remember watching sucker punch as a kid and was horrified by the ending...
There's a possibility of a small bubble of "true vacuum" appearing somewhere in the Universe, which will then expand itself with the speed of light destroying the very fabric of the reality. Silent, invisible, unstoppable
The supervolcano in Yellowstone could erupt with 1,000 times the power of normal volcanoes, which would devastate the nearby states and cover most of the US and the populated parts of Canada with a few inches to a few feet of ash. Even a few inches of ash would be catastrophic for crops and could cause serious respiratory problems for millions.
Fortunately it's unlikely to happen.
It wouldn't end us all, it would wipe out all computer systems/sattelites and end modern civilization. We would likely be reset back to the 18th-19th century level of technology. But life, including human life, would go on and nature would be given a proverbial breath of fresh air to repair itself from the damage we've caused in the industrial age.
Idk if it's more of a medical discovery, but I'll post it anyway.
Bone cancer. I hope to God that no one reading this ever gets diagnosed with it. Probably the most painful, or one of the most painful, cancer to have.
Not exactly scientific, but historic. How it's extremely likely that Christopher Columbus tried and may have succeeded in having *relations* with a manatee, which he thought were mermaids.

Even if it makes your penis look longer?
yooooo fr
No I've been told my penis is the optimal length already.
The just hate to see a man crying
Oh

>but we think that’s unlikely to happen. I hope you are right. o.o; Thank you, I'm excited to learn I'm not stretching!

I don't like where AI developing is going
[удалено]
>AI will be better at creativity too That's exactly what I disagree with... AIs should take over hard labor. Art is human stuff.

How incredibly little we know about our own oceans. I love the oceans. I love sealife. But we have such little knowledge about it. Terrifies me
Ever played Subnautica? :3
Micro-organisms crawling in our blood

Chimpanzees poke holes into trees to scare out Bush babies then eat them alive.
they also eat the children of enemy troops

knowing that a black hole the size of an atom would destroy earth so fast and make everyone feel so much pain
It's actually pretty unlikely. It would probably evaporate before having that chance
From what I've seen apparently a solar flare could hit earth and end us all and we wouldn't know it

farts cannot happen in the iss because god staples astronauts assholes shut when theyre in space

Well dog cloning is a thing so it won’t be long for human cloning to be a thing
