Quarks? Big bang? Spaghettification? Seriously, who makes up this stuff? For example…

Red Sprites

Sounds Like…
Little woodland creatures who live in mushrooms and have an awkwardly lopsided gender ratio.

But Are Really…
Upper atmospheric optical phenomena associated with thunderstorms.

Biomats

Sounds Like…
Organic hemp yoga mats infused with indigo crystals.

But Are Really…
A layer of Precambrian goop, the fossils of which contain evidence of some of the earliest animals.

The Red Queen’s Race

Sounds Like…
Um… Naboonian?

But Is Really…
A hypothesis which states that, for an evolutionary system, continuing development is needed just in order to maintain its fitness relative to the systems it is co-evolving with.
