The idea that SSRI antidepressants work by increasing serotonin levels. If that were the case, why don't they start working immediately? Instead, most people don't see positive effects for several weeks.
Plus the idea that SSRIs work, period. They only work slightly better than placebo, and they count them as "working" as long as they help with a single symptom. So if they don't help your depression at all, but they do help with your insomnia, they put that in the "it worked!" pile. That's why suicide risk sometimes increases on SSRIs. They do nothing for your crippling depression except increase your motivation, so before you were depressed and couldn't accomplish anything, and now you're depressed, but also have the wherewithal to follow through on your suicide plan.

I don't think that we currently know enough about physics to say for sure that faster than light travel is impossible.
I think it's likely that there are still scientific breakthroughs to be discovered that will make currently impossible things possible.

Psychiatry and psychiatric drugs. But it is hardly scientific anyway
It's a statistical science. While other branches can be all like "splitting atoms will definitely give you an energetic reaction" psychology is like "this helps in 60% of cases so we're gonna try it on you ".

The prompt is dangerous and indulgent for anti-science idiots. You don't "believe in" science... Science is. You can choose to believe in fairy tales, conspiracy theories and other made up shit like religious dogma, don't causally equate the two categories - ESPECIALLY not while naming science directly. Maybe say, "what's a thing that you can't believe it's real?" If you need to post.
I see your edit, but it's still a bullshit post, OP.

It took me awhile to accept it. But apparently planting trees on the wrong area could actually contribute to global warming. E.g. Planting on areas, traditionally has no trees, while reforesting would contribute to lowering temperature.

I learned that from a recent documentary of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park from Vice.
