Anyone have any hypotheses that they think could be scientifically confirmed, but which you are not in a position to actually do the sciencing yourself? (Try to exclude any hypotheses that are liable to kick off GD/Pit threads, please.)
Here’s two of mine:
Traditionally, the theory has been that people with symmetrical features were better looking because they were more healthy. Apparently, this has been disproven. In its stead, I am proposing that the lead cause of ones features becoming distorted is through extra manipulation having to be applied to get your skull out of the womb. Symmetric features are a side effect of a larger pelvic gap, and thus a signal that these people bear genes for good, safe births of large-brained children.
Traditionally, the theory has been that life needs water. Personally, I believe that a stewing cauldron of changing chemical reactions is the real key to the spontaneous formation of life. As such, I think that Venus is a more likely habitat for life forms than Mars.
