On the other hand, the 'doughnut' theory, 'string' theory, etc, are just that, theories or even merely hypotheses.

That just seems outlandish to me.

If it's the case how come the human race are a bunch, by and large, of such selfish so-and-sos?

Well, if we are all the same person, how is it possible to be anything other than selfish?

Is this possible?

Was it past midnight at the time?

I think it was more a thought experiment than a literal "if you look hard enough you may see it" type comment.
