Two Minutes to Midnight
CAC physicists don't understand metaphysics, so they'll never research it
Has to be a Breh scientist who would be able to tackle it
Can it be proven, or falsified? I think not, and unless it can be, any self-respecting scientist would view it as throwing time, effort and money down a hole. There have been a bunch of scientific studies done on astrology which has shown it to be bullshyt, so that's close enough for me.
Not only that, but all the evidence is anecdotal, at best. For every instance like this where momentum was a factor, there are hundreds upon hundreds of sporting events where a team scores, yet is unable to capitalize. That's more psychology than anything else, which is outside the boundaries of physics.
