Wanna hear my theory about how the existence of purple aliens proves the existence of blue and red aliens?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Plot Twist: We ARE the aliens that had to escape a failed climate and found this planet called Earth, now we are destroying another planet's climate.
Since a thing we made up to model the world around us works the way we expect it to. this proves the world around us works the way we extend it.
Nah.
Well, yeah, except (if I remember correctly) it's the change of energy that adds up to zero. Energy can not be added or destroyed, only transformed. Matter and anti matter particles emerge and disappear in the foam together. AFAIK there is nothing that supports the net sum of energy being zero.
It doesn't prove anything.
0 = 0 + 0
0 = -123 + 123
What? Wait! So you're saying -69 + 69 = 0 ?
Even better, 69 - 69 = 0
Oh shit. You're right. My mind has been blown.
Even better
lim(x to + infinity, 1/(69^x)) = 0
I've been out of calculus for too long to remember integrals.
Y'know that we made math up, right?
Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.
Of course, dear.
It might sound neat, but it's certainly not a proof of anything.
OP just solved quantum physics.

/jk lol wasn't really serious with this post anyways
A quality shower thought requires a constant water flow to sound convincing in your head. It falls apart the second you turn the water off.
Nobel prize shit.
