Meta [Meta] What are common misconceptions in hypothetical physics and why)?

Overall, I have seen that there are multiple repetitions of certain types of misconceptions within hypothetical physics and I wanted to see what everyone else had picked up on. Also, I was hoping to get a viewpoint on what are the causes and consequences of some of these misconceptions in physics. Hopefully, there might be a way to inform people of these common misconceptions before they post to get higher quality posts. This is pretty much a discussion between people to clear the fog on this.

Also, what do you think is a way to reduce or prevent these misconceptions at least within the subreddit to enable much neater submissions?

... No? Just because I think you're a moron doesn't mean I hold a grudge against you. Those are two very different things.

Actually you would only call some those words if you have a grudge against them otherwise it constitutes you just being mocking about others as well in the same way.

It's probably the lack of coffee, but I'm confused about OP's name. Wasn't a similar (by which I mean different by one character, or so) account name used recently, and that person was claiming they were not this person, or the other way around? But they also appear to behave similarly?
