In real life is there something that is literally just f**king magic?

@Carver It's always been fuckin' magic xD

@Jackaloftheazuresand Woop, woop! 😝

@Majorlatency Yeah...it's a movie that proved you can kill 90% of the characters and just not bring them up ever again.

@Fangirlsarah1996 It's certainly something. I'm sure there's applications for it, we just haven't thought of any good ones yet.

But the Earth is visibly spherical, and coffee is delicious! Though really, I personally think it actually has more to do with Quantum Field Theory getting increasingly strong supporting evidence suggesting that it's true and that discrete information doesn't actually exist. But that's a whole other matter.

@UndeadPrivateer Just think about the future, when we have so many excess resources that we can waste them on rubbish research like that and "maybe" get results "maybe" we'll invent a new kind of toaster, who knows?

That's just the media polluting your brain with mind control coffee.

Then again I'm not sure why finding out how the universe began is so important, it's been here FAR longer than us, probably so long that we were still a twinkle in the Milknebulas eye and the universe just didn't care.

(I know that makes sense but I felt like using that "Milknebula" pun but couldn't fit it anywhere)

@Fangirlsarah1996 Learning the origins of the universe is important because it teaches us fundamental principles of physics which then leads to other discoveries. One can use such logic to literally discredit every piece of work ever made by humanity, because in the grand scheme of things we're basically nothing and have no influence over much of anything on our greasy wet little rock drifting through space, but that doesn't help anyone. If you want to improve humanity's technological development, fundamental physics is definitely a solid place to start.
