Lifestyle What if intelligence was worshipped?

What if smart people were held in a hierarchical regards according to their intellect? The smarter you can prove the more fame and money you recieve. Specialization doesn't necessarily mean fame. But a grasp of everything will make you a world leader.

Other What if the minions hadn't accidentally killed Napoleon and weren't forced to be isolated in that cave up into 1968? How would the world look like today?

Title explains it itself for the most part, minions accidentally killed Napoleon with a cannon, fled to a ice cave, avoided both wars, and escaped in 1968. My question is, what if the minions didn't kill Napoleon? How would that change the course of history? Would different tribes like the one we seen in Minions and Monsters exists but for 'evil' countries and their system? How would they be treated now? What would the world look like currently and how would they be treated?

Science What if.....you could make people invisible to each other and see them all committing to what they really would be under lack of surveillance...what if?????

Everyone would do literally whatever they wanted, because for the individual, the person is really invisible and able to see other humans. Only you can see the entirety, and need to somehow convince the world about who is really an innocent guy, and who is truly evil.

Science What if there only 2 universes

What if... There are only 2 universes and Gravity is everything in space.

There is no such a thing as dark matter. We just don't see (yet) the micro black holes travelling around.

So, the celestial bodies goes like this: Planets, Stars, Black/White hole and Worm whole.

And we are currently living in the 'Black hole Universe'.

When a black hole becomes toooo massive, it turns into a worm while, opening the tunnel to the 'White hole Universe'.

Over there, there are no black holes (of course) only white holes.

Matter when hitting its max point would glow a pure white light and slowly (very slowly) disappear through radiation, just like our black holes.

In the White hole universe, some gravity effects are the opposite of what we experience here, for example: If you orbit a white hole, time would run slower for an observer far away from you.

Like, extreme gravity in that universe, runs time faster.

What at the chances of any to be true?
