clara oswald HAS to be gods strongest soldier bc she was in a situationship that started with him saying "you look at me, and you cant see me. do you have any idea what thats like" and ends with him saying "theres one thing i know about her. just one thing. if i met her again, id absolutely know." also featuring the lines "do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference" and "clara, im not your boyfriend" "i never thought you were" "i never said it was your mistake"

literally for every version of the doctor there is a clara. their souls are intertwined. i can't i can't even think rn im dying

Good. I've been suspecting for a while that the universe is much older than commonly accepted estimates. I was just judging based on the time it takes for fusion to occur in the amounts we'd need in order to see the elements that surely exist.

If we can find uranium and plutonium on earth, I can't imagine they'd be exactly unheard of in other solid celestial bodies. To me, this indicates that the process of stellar birth, growth, death and rebirth must have happened many multiples of times in order for there to be the amount of heavy elements that must exist out in the vastness of space.

Thus, I would posit that the age of the universe is well beyond the revised estimate put forth here (^)

I have also suspected for several years now that the age of the earth is much older than we currently guess it to be. This is because of the geological formations I've seen both in person and while flying around on Google Earth. Particularly some of those in Australia.

MacDonnell National Park, right in the center of Australia, has a sort of geological column that appears to have not only found itself lying on its side, but is twisted and folded in a way that I can't understand without including some sort of earth-shattering event. Plus, Uluru itself appears (to my armchair-sitting, untrained eye) to be a fragment of a larger formation (one I might have potentially identified at some point but have since forgotten). It also appears to be laying almost perfectly on its side.

So, not only was there enough time passing (and yes, I recognize that it's mostly sandstone) for sedimentary layers to have been successively formed, but then something further happened that placed it sideways.

Mostly this is just a gut feeling, so I understand that I could be very wrong

Cosmic Paradigm Shift: New Research Doubles Universe’s Age to 26.7 Billion Years

A new study proposes that the universe may be 26.7 billion years old, challenging the widely accepted estimate of 13.7 billion years based on the Lambda-CDM concordance model.

Our universe could be twice as old as current estimates, according to a new study that challenges the dominant cosmological model and sheds new light on the so-called “impossible early galaxy problem.

For years, astronomers and physicists have calculated the age of our universe by measuring the time elapsed since the Big Bang and by studying the oldest stars based on the redshift of light coming from distant galaxies. In 2021, thanks to new techniques and advances in technology, the age of our universe was thus estimated at 13.797 billion years using the Lambda-CDM concordance model.

However, many scientists have been puzzled by the existence of stars like the Methuselah that appear to be older than the estimated age of our universe and by the discovery of early galaxies in an advanced state of evolution made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope. These galaxies, existing a mere 300 million years or so after the Big Bang, appear to have a level of maturity and mass typically associated with billions of years of cosmic evolution. Furthermore, they’re surprisingly small in size, adding another layer of mystery to the equation.

Some theories like Zwicky's ''tired light'' theory, and Paul Dirac's ''coupling constants'' may be one of the possible explanations and putting the ''cosmological constant'' under possible revision.

twelve spending 4.5 billion years punching through a 20ft thick wall of azbantium, a material apparently 400x harder than diamond, dying repeatedly in the process, all so he could get clara back... like whether you see them as platonic or romantic you cannot deny that he quite literally loved her to death

once again in my "thinking about twelve and clara" hours (aka all the hours)

i know they're literally the same person because . he IS the same person but like. i like twelveclara more than elevenclara

I did it. I finally beat this game.

14-year-old me liking a ship where one of them changes the past and risks all of time and space to save the other vs. 23-year-old me liking a ship where one of them changes the past and risks messing up the future in order to save the other. time is a flat circle.

*sigh* Went down a rabbit hole of looking for trivia, and once AGAIN, people just cannot let any female character have anything.

Scientists proposed a novel idea on Wednesday that could solve two of the world's mysteries at once—one that passes over our heads every night, and one that sits far below our feet. The first mystery has puzzled everyone from scientists to inquisitive children for millennia: where did the moon come from? The leading theory is that the moon was created 4.5 billion years ago when a would-be planet the size of Mars smashed into the still-forming Earth. This epic collision between early Earth and the proto-planet called Theia shot an enormous amount of debris into orbit, which formed what would become the moon. Or so the theory goes. Despite decades of effort, scientists have not been able to find any evidence of Theia's existence. New US-led research, published in the journal Nature, suggests they might have been looking in the wrong direction. Around 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) below Earth's surface, two massive "blobs" have baffled geologists since seismic waves revealed their existence in the 1980s.
