So what if multiverse is eventually proven and in the cascading discoveries in science’s greatest moment we find that major tenants of religion were largely correct all along, our understanding of life and death are rewritten, a sentient being’s sense of humor is revealed, etc etc
Neal Stephenson’s Anathem got me woke on the multiverse

And given who awarded it to him (as his sole discretion), one can question whether it was based on any sort of objective merit.
If we’re sticking to facts, of course.
You’re right. “Awarded” is a better term.
True, but you could say the same about any of them, including Obama’s last recipient, Joe Biden.
No argument.
But as it’s clearly subjective, I, for one, don’t see any fact that DoW made up.
