EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

It took me awhile to accept it. But apparently planting trees on the wrong area could actually contribute to global warming. E.g. Planting on areas, traditionally has no trees, while reforesting would contribute to lowering temperature.

I learned that from a recent documentary of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park from Vice.

The prompt is dangerous and indulgent for anti-science idiots. You don't "believe in" science... Science is. You can choose to believe in fairy tales, conspiracy theories and other made up shit like religious dogma, don't causally equate the two categories - ESPECIALLY not while naming science directly. Maybe say, "what's a thing that you can't believe it's real?" If you need to post.

I see your edit, but it's still a bullshit post, OP.

Quantum entanglement. Having two particles latched in the same state even if separated by light years distance is something I currently cannot believe. Maybe too dumb, but my belief is that it 'has' to be some experiment error.

It’s got to be Dark Matter. So many astrophysicists have spent so much time thinking about this stuff and all they’re really sure about is that there must be much more matter in the Universe than we can see, and yet we never actually seem any closer to knowing what it is. In conjunction with Dark Energy it just leaves the layman with the awkward possibility that maybe our model of The Universe is just fundamentally flawed somehow.

For me it's the origin of the universe. This shit has to be a simulation.

The singularity that supposedly lies inside black holes is more likely just a result of a huge gap in our understanding and a dead end in general relativity.

Birth order effect on personality.

It smells like predetermined horoscope nonesense.
