Photosynthesis is one of those things that you usually learn about in a simplified way when you're little, that we grow up kinda taking for granted that we "know how that works."

But the process is actually so spine tinglingly bizarre, that if you heard about it for the first time as an adult, you wouldn't even believe it.

Plants are just transmuting light beams into highly complex molecules of sugar. By using the light as a fuckin' battering ram to shatter molecules of water apart. And we're just like "oh yeah, they do that, no big deal" as if that's not a seven layer bizarro dip of what the fuck.

Dark Theories #1

What if the multiverse theory is actually real? And what if our separate realities are in fact entangled on a quantum level? Would that mean, that when we get a random headache, that means that one of our other copies in one of the parallel universes just died? Would that mean that any random pain in our bodies comes from one of our parallel selves having gotten injured in that spot?

Would that mean that people who never experience random pains are simply the only copies of themselves in existence across the multiverse?
