And then they used the word "could" which made it all meaningless blather and conjecture. Science for likes and clicks, who needs a fuckin' hypothesis, amirite?

who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis

everyone. Its how theories are formed,

but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.

Well, it's not a simple page with science journalism, it's the official page of the European Space Agency (ESA), not TikToc or YouTube. It's certainly a hypothesis, but for sure it's not something that cannot be taken seriously.
