Big Science

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don't know what "fossilized algae" refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

I think in this case the meaning is already effectively watered down. At this point it'd probably be easier to just give up and make a new term for pedophilia that is just for pre adolescents, and let pedophilia be the term for all "under age of consent" stuff (as is the current modern usage).

Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion

To all the people downvoting: "Law of Attraction" is not a lay person's way of saying "Law of Gravity".

It's the belief online that "if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff" (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.
