      Theory has a definition, when we stretch it this far we end up with pedants saying things like “but gravity is just a theory”.

      I theory is the most highly respected type of ‘conclusion’(those don’t really exist in science) because it is Based on rigorous testing. This isn’t even a hypothesis, this is just a bonkers guess.

A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it’s many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

“cosmic horror… is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock… themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries… the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale…”
