The Joke:
Since Libet's findings started to trickle out,
There was plenty of nonsense about our free will...
What???!!! My free will is useless? I'll give it up...
Now, how could I - give up something I did/do not have???
----
Before I started it (22 May 2011), there were many forums discussing do we have or not have free will.
After, the most of such forums abandoned the debate...

What Happened?

We were obviously missing majority of freely available evidence that enabled endless debates and we needed something to produce an "aha moment". In this case, my joke provided an "aha moment" in a humorous way...

But this is not the only case:
-----
Dark Matter

As we measured orbital speeds we noticed that stars on the fringes of our galaxy moving faster than the estimated mass of Milky Way permits. To resolve this the mysterious dark matter was proposed for additional mass. And now, we are spending millions trying to detect it - with no results. Furthermore, the dark matter is now considered as given without any doubt...

In my opinion, we need to change how we observe/calculate waves of gravitational pulls... If gravity works in form of gravitational waves - then we can have resonances that increase gravitational pulls - and then we do not need dark matter...

Similarly, we could resolve the even more mysterious "dark energy".

Fine Structure "Constant" (alpha)

Presently, there is a strong belief that physical laws are the same at all localities in the universe...

And yet, the Fine Structure "Constant" varies all over the place. And with that, we have different laws of physic at different localities of the universe. Obviously, we need to radically change our understanding of the universe. (I do not have an "aha moment" for that.)

There are many controversies in the science that need their own "aha moment". So, I open this thread to try to identify what in science needs an "aha moment".
