I just read this article and I found to be both hilarious, interesting and a bit scary at the same time hehe:

Theoretically, sure, is it possible to ever disprove? Nope. Not science, but food for thought...

I do hope people aren't paid to think about these things.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against this line of thinking, but if my taxpounds are going to be spent on things like universities and grants and stuff, then I'd rather they spend their time researching something that could actually benefit mankind, not something which is intrinsically unprovable.

No problem, I'll add more sarcasm tags the next time!

Edit: To elaborate more: The linked article transcript is so simplistic it's actually very scary someone might get paid for such basic ideas.
