What is a Scientific Fact, that while you know it has been proven true, still seems impossible?

@RickiTarr I’m going to put my pedantic hat on, and say nobody argues about facts (at least nobody you want to spend any time with).
But we do love arguing about what they mean, and if that meaning seems impossible, you need a better imagination!

Before Archimedes starting shouting Eureka, I suspect he said wtf?

@BashStKid BUT YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION LOL

@RickiTarr You’ve seen through my cunning plan, drat!

Ok, then;

- so all the calcium in my bones was created in a supernova?

- so this worm is probably an ancestor of mine?

- so quantum algorithms are mostly solved in parallel universes?

- so my retina is stuck *behind* all the blood vessels?

- so my memory is easy to trick, we’re all prone to bias, and I’m not an independent observer with perfect recall?

Especially the last one, I think.

@BashStKid @RickiTarr Some people can actually see the blood vessels sometimes.

Shame we can’t all be as well-designed as the octopus. 🐙
@BashStKid @RickiTarr They have a really short expiration date, so there is that.
