I got a good laugh out of that. Better stay away from those cubes if you want to be safe from any space-time rifts.

"it?s just a theory."
Please don't misuse the word theory. Please. A theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena.
Why does it matter? In the fight, and yes, it is a fight, for Reason to to triumph over Belief, we need to use the right words in the correct way. Because if we let belief win, we have never-ending religious war.
So there's no such thing as only a theory. Theories are big, solid, sound and strong. They are open to change and even replacement, but they ain't just a hunch.
