Don't let the world know about the word "coelacanthiform", what backup username will I use now whenever Coelacanth is taken?!

Yeah sorry about that, but dude, get a bidet.

I believe him, I was probed at a bar in Tijuana.

UFO expert says he knows why an Alien ship is heading to earth

A Harvard professor has proposed that a bizarre interstellar object speeding toward Earth might have been dispatched by aliens

What the actual fuck.

knows

might have

Disgusting "journalist".

And shame on OP for repeating this nonsense.

I've got my towel. 👍

I have already agreed to be thrown into hyperspace, what is your plan?

I'm rooting for Vogon constructor fleet's lead ship. Gotta make bypasses y'know.

Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969; ISBN 1-57586-162-3) is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay's work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has.

Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I languages having only the colors black (dark–cool) and white (light–warm). Languages in Stage VII have eight or more basic color terms. This includes English, which has eleven basic color terms. The authors theorize that as languages evolve, they acquire new basic color terms in a strict chronological sequence; if a basic color term is found in a language, then the colors of all earlier stages should also be present. The sequence is as follows:

Stage I: Dark-cool and light-warm (this covers a larger set of colors than just English "black" and "white".)

Stage II: Red

Stage III: Either green or yellow

Stage IV: Both green and yellow

Stage V: Blue

Stage VI: Brown

Stage VII: Purple, pink, orange, or gray

I've read similar, but the question surrounding a genetic component seems to have gone unanswered throughout. There's a strong correlation between genetics and language, especially ancient ones, given the relative isolation. How do we know that these languages don't just largely reflect what the speakers could physically see?

I don’t know about this study, but we have other linguistic examples of this. From Homer we get the wine-dark sea and I think I’ve read other things talking specificallt about blue being a late-emerging distinct color in a lot of languages.

How did they discount genetic factors? We're the same tests performed on close relatives who were multilingual?

Those orbs were once clearly visible to the naked eye here on earth on a near daily basis, usually around the Star and Sun, but are they anomalous or a natural phenomenon?

only saw two orbs but were not glowing

That's why they've been abducting cows! To make popcorn butter!

Clearly running on an internal combustion engine! /s

Is it a sexy alien?

Whoa that's a compelling idea. I guess NASA won't be making this one, though.

I'd hope at least some of them are watching us like a nature documentary, specifically the ones where you watch a lion chasing an antelope

Yes just like that : 😎🍿

Beards nice

which would make the image completely irrelevant

Isn't that image (the thumbnail) a depiction of the inflation theory formation of the universe? And this new theory says that isn't a factor and that the creation and expansion of the universe can be explained purely via gravitational waves?

It's possibly I'm missing something since it's still early for me, and I'm getting distracted by other things.

the article doesnt even mention the pictured "dark energy expansion" wtf i wanted to learn cmon man

Eh don't really care, it's all bollocks

Do you really think so ? 🤔😄😁
