Yeah, im in the same camp, kinda. I think those theories are pretty neat and would be cool if true, but i cant bring myself to believe them lol. I would love to be convinced that there is more to this existence than the official narrative.

I am genuinely curious why you feel this way.

The truth about the universe is more incredible, more complex, and more fantastical than the best written fiction. Certainly better than the garbage they shovel on tiktok.

From quantum entanglement to the warping of spacetime. From the forging of the heavier elements in the heart of ancient dying stars to the evolutionary magic that took those elements and made you and I. From how water uses the polarity of its bonds to dissolve things to how our bodies use ATP to fuel our existence. Reality is wonderous.

I will take science over any fantasy any day of the week.

You misunderstand me completely, I'm pretty familiar with the things you are saying. I was just stating that the theories like hollow earth, etc. Would be pretty cool if they were true. Trust me, i am well aware of how wondrous what we know of the universe is and how we've barely scratched the surface of our understanding of it.

The thing I like most about this stuff is how it humbles me, sure I like space and science like most people but I can not understand all the math or interested in how the sausage is made, just tell me some cool shit and show me some pictures.

If people are accredited I will trust them more, if it is some youtube guy I will trust him less.

I love understanding but am also not so proud that I pretend to understand something that I can not back up.
