TP. 78 ACADEMIA CHESS

The theory of Tired Light was first proposed by Astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky in 1929. This theory proposed that photons traveling through space were bound to strike physical entities that also moved in space and, thus, lose momentum because of the collisions; just like everything else in the physical world. Because of this phenomenon, the Universe is actually estimated to be 26.7 billion years old, nearly twice the age of the currently accepted 13.8 billion years old. It seems that Astrophysicists will say anything in order to get recognized for something of importance in their lives. Scientists are humans, and humans are all about egos, so we are faced with the constant arguments of what is fact and what is fiction. Over the ages, unscrupulous scientists have fudged data to support their theories in order to get published in accredited scientific
publications. The clever ones had believable theories that were accepted for years until another authority debunked their claim as false. This is known as Academia Chess, where the game’s rules are based on deceit, disguise, and lies, all in the name of notoriety. Similar to sales, the biggest bullshitter with the right looks and straight face gets paid the most. Money and Fame is the ultimate reward. So, for any Astrophysicists out there looking for a satisfactory career, here are some ideas for theories that might get you published if you can supply an ample amount of creative, believable bullshit.
VAMPIRE LIGHT: photons stealing energy from other moving particles, just like Dracula draining blood from his victims.
NEGATIVE TIME: time traveling backward that prevents other universes from crashing into ours.
MAZERS: Weapons composed of black hole matter, also known as dark matter, that shoots out infinite mass and annihilates all that it hits.
The list is endless. With a little imagination, your hypothesis could result in a big fat trophy to be displayed proudly on your mansion’s mantle.
