I mean we all hear about those nut jobs who eat their own shit or kill people and think they're helping them "reach forever into the abyss of conciousness" whatever the hell that means, but what about those of us who just disagree with things like science? The sun is made of hydrogen? How do we really know? None of our equipment has ever been there and returned because the sun is too hot for any earthly metal or metal alloy to survive. I don't know what the sun is made of and hydrogen is just as good a guess as any other so im not disagreeing, however science isn't perfect. That's all im saying. It can't even explain why gravity works. Yes I am saying I am somewhat insane. Im just wondering, just asking you my newgrounds sisters and brothers, is all insanity bad? Think about it.

It's not just a guess. We know what elements are in the sun based upon the light emitted from it. Elements emit light at very specific wave lengths, and as such we can identify what something is based upon the light it gives off, or in some cases absorbs. Side note, that's how we first discovered helium, in a spectrograph of the sun.
As for science in general, nothing in it is a guess. Any theories we produce must be able to stand on there own without any hand waving.
