The Mond one, number three here, makes a lot of sense.
Dark matter always had scenarios where Mond really had no say, right, Steve?
Like the bullet cluster.
There were things that were evidence for dark matter that just Mond, I think, couldn't touch.
It's like, well, how do you explain that then if Mond is a thing?
It just didn't make any sense.
The only arena where Mond may have had something important to say was these vast distances and gravity might be β
in not insignificant ways when you're dealing with thousands of light years or at the galactic scale or beyond.
So I don't have a problem with that at all.
The other two that are tough, the stingers and horns and stingers, yeah, it could be convergent evolution, potentially.
I mean, they basically need to pierce something that could be tough.
They're piercing something
Generally, but then Kara makes a good point about, you know, like horns could have, you know, eventually changed to a sexual display.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they had, you know, also important piercing function.
I don't know.
So this one's tough.
And then the alloy, this titanium thing is interesting.
But I mean, heat treating metal is a complex process.
There's a lot of components to it.
I'm not sure...
