In an alternate universe, the Basil Gate Theory posits that the fundamental forces of nature are not governed by the laws of physics, but rather the whims of a capricious, sentient basil plant.
The plant, known as "Basil-9000," is said to reside at the nexus of the cosmos, manipulating the fabric of space-time with an iron fist.
According to proponents of the theory, the strange, unexplained phenomena of the universe can be attributed to Basil-9000's ever-changing mood swings and culinary preferences.
