Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Their argument isn't "we didnt steal," or "we broke no laws by using their stuff without permission" ---- their argument is "but if you hold us legally liable for stealing their stuff, itll be super expensive for us :( "

Why aren’t you in my bed right now?!?!

This is the hottest thing I’ve seen all day. And I saw a picture of Worf in a speedo earlier (ok I’m not into Worf but it works for the joke).

Seriously though. This look is fucking amazing! I love the jacket. It’s so sick! And the make-up, nit screen quality, but still damn great for home amateur stuff.

Behold, the digital artchery glove!

MIT’s groundbreaking window panel, a passive, zero-power device, extracts drinkable water from desert air, offering a revolutionary solution for water-scarce regions.

Resembling a sleek black pane, it uses a hydrogel matrix with an origami-inspired design, embedded with glycerol and hygroscopic salts, to capture moisture at night and release it as vapor under sunlight.

In tests in arid Death Valley, a single panel produced over 160 milliliters of clean water daily—enough for a small family with just a few panels.

Unlike earlier designs, this system neutralizes salts, ensuring the water is safe to drink without filtration. Lightweight, affordable, and scalable, it requires no electricity, pipes, or pumps, making it ideal for off-grid communities, remote villages, or disaster zones.

With over 2 billion people facing water scarcity, MIT’s collaboration with humanitarian groups for a 2026 rollout could transform access to clean water globally.
