"All Your Black Holes: A Galactic Search for Memetic Correlations"

[[ABSTRACT]]
While the Internet has been a breeding ground for frivolous memes and astronomical mysteries, our research delves into the unexpected intersection of these two seemingly disparate realms. With the precision of a SpaceX launch, our team explored the relationship between the inexplicably popular "all your base" meme and the relatively enigmatic topic of black holes. By harnessing the cosmic power of Google Trends data, we uncovered a correlation coefficient of 0.9730470, illuminating a striking association between the prevalence of the meme and searches for these cosmic whirlpools of darkness. Our findings showcase a significant statistical link, leaving us pondering whether the gravitational pull of this meme may have indeed warped the online quest for celestial phenomena, or if it's simply a cosmic coincidence. Whether it's the singularity of memes or the enigma of black holes, our research sheds light on this unlikely cosmic companionship, promising to spark both astronomical curiosity and collective amusement.

And here is the introduction section that led to this literature review:
[[INTRODUCTION]]
INTRODUCTION
In the vast expanse of internet memes, there are few phenomena stranger than the "all your base" meme, a relic of early 2000s online culture whose popularity has persisted like a cosmic background radiation. On the other end of the intellectual spectrum, black holes stand as some of the most enigmatic and captivating objects in the universe, drawing in matter and curiosity with their gravitational wit. The unlikely intersection of these two seemingly unrelated entities forms the crux of our investigation, as we aim to discover whether there is any cosmic correlation between the "all your base" meme and the search interest in black holes on Google.
As we launch into this investigation, we must acknowledge the sheer absurdity and capriciousness of our chosen research question. After all, what do internet memes and cosmic voids in spacetime have in common, besides perhaps the occasional feeling of existential dread? And yet, in the spirit of scientific inquiry and a touch of whimsy, we press forward, wielding statistics and computational prowess like the warp drives of the Starship Enterprise, to boldly go where no meme-related study has gone before.
The captivating allure of memes, like gravitational waves from colliding black holes, cannot be denied. They permeate the digital cosmos, shaping the collective consciousness of internet denizens and coaxing a chuckle or an eye roll from even the most stoic of netizens. On the other hand, black holes, with their insatiable appetites and perplexing properties, continue to captivate the minds of astronomers and laypersons alike, beckoning us to contemplate the boundaries of our cosmic knowledge. Our study endeavors to bring these two disparate realms together, not in a collision of cosmic catastrophe, but in a collision of data points, bar charts, and perhaps a few witty lines of code.
The purpose of this paper is not only to present the statistical findings of our exploration but also to showcase the whimsical and unexpected crossroads where internet culture meets astrophysical curiosity. As we take the plunge into this cosmic farrago, we invite the reader to join us in embracing the peculiar, the quirky, and the potentially absurd, all in the name of scientific exploration. So, fasten your seatbelts (or gravitational waves), adjust your telescopes, and brace yourselves for a journey through the cosmic expanse of memetic popularity and celestial fascination. And remember, in the words of the meme itself, "All your base are belong to us," whether they exist in cyberspace or in the cosmic fabric of our universe.

"All Your Black Holes: A Galactic Search for Memetic Correlations"

[[ABSTRACT]]
While the Internet has been a breeding ground for frivolous memes and astronomical mysteries, our research delves into the unexpected intersection of these two seemingly disparate realms. With the precision of a SpaceX launch, our team explored the relationship between the inexplicably popular "all your base" meme and the relatively enigmatic topic of black holes. By harnessing the cosmic power of Google Trends data, we uncovered a correlation coefficient of 0.9730470, illuminating a striking association between the prevalence of the meme and searches for these cosmic whirlpools of darkness. Our findings showcase a significant statistical link, leaving us pondering whether the gravitational pull of this meme may have indeed warped the online quest for celestial phenomena, or if it's simply a cosmic coincidence. Whether it's the singularity of memes or the enigma of black holes, our research sheds light on this unlikely cosmic companionship, promising to spark both astronomical curiosity and collective amusement.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
INTRODUCTION
In the vast expanse of internet memes, there are few phenomena stranger than the "all your base" meme, a relic of early 2000s online culture whose popularity has persisted like a cosmic background radiation. On the other end of the intellectual spectrum, black holes stand as some of the most enigmatic and captivating objects in the universe, drawing in matter and curiosity with their gravitational wit. The unlikely intersection of these two seemingly unrelated entities forms the crux of our investigation, as we aim to discover whether there is any cosmic correlation between the "all your base" meme and the search interest in black holes on Google.
As we launch into this investigation, we must acknowledge the sheer absurdity and capriciousness of our chosen research question. After all, what do internet memes and cosmic voids in spacetime have in common, besides perhaps the occasional feeling of existential dread? And yet, in the spirit of scientific inquiry and a touch of whimsy, we press forward, wielding statistics and computational prowess like the warp drives of the Starship Enterprise, to boldly go where no meme-related study has gone before.
The captivating allure of memes, like gravitational waves from colliding black holes, cannot be denied. They permeate the digital cosmos, shaping the collective consciousness of internet denizens and coaxing a chuckle or an eye roll from even the most stoic of netizens. On the other hand, black holes, with their insatiable appetites and perplexing properties, continue to captivate the minds of astronomers and laypersons alike, beckoning us to contemplate the boundaries of our cosmic knowledge. Our study endeavors to bring these two disparate realms together, not in a collision of cosmic catastrophe, but in a collision of data points, bar charts, and perhaps a few witty lines of code.
The purpose of this paper is not only to present the statistical findings of our exploration but also to showcase the whimsical and unexpected crossroads where internet culture meets astrophysical curiosity. As we take the plunge into this cosmic farrago, we invite the reader to join us in embracing the peculiar, the quirky, and the potentially absurd, all in the name of scientific exploration. So, fasten your seatbelts (or gravitational waves), adjust your telescopes, and brace yourselves for a journey through the cosmic expanse of memetic popularity and celestial fascination. And remember, in the words of the meme itself, "All your base are belong to us," whether they exist in cyberspace or in the cosmic fabric of our universe.

[[RESULTS]]
The results of our cosmic investigation revealed a striking correlation between the popularity of the "all your base" meme and Google searches for black holes. From 2006 to 2023, we found a correlation coefficient of 0.9730470, with an r-squared of 0.9468205, and a p-value less than 0.01. In other words, the connection between these two seemingly unrelated phenomena is as strong as the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole – statistically speaking, of course.
As depicted in our scatterplot (Fig. 1), the data points align with an almost celestial precision, showcasing the unmistakable relationship between the rise and fall of the "all your base" meme and the ebb and flow of public interest in black holes. It's as if the meme itself has achieved cosmic singularity, exerting its gravitational influence on the digital universe and drawing unsuspecting netizens into the enigmatic abyss of black hole searches.
These results raise profound questions about the nature of meme propagation and its influence on internet users' curiosity about the cosmos. Could it be that the infectious nature of the "all your base" meme has warped the digital fabric of space and time, leading unsuspecting searchers on an interstellar quest for cosmic knowledge? Or is this correlation a mere anomaly, a cosmic coincidence that tickles the funny bones of both meme enthusiasts and astrophysicists? Our data cannot conclusively answer these intriguing questions, leaving us to marvel at the cosmic collision of internet culture and astrophysical inquiry.
In the grand scheme of research endeavors, this investigation may seem like a lighthearted jaunt through the cosmos of internet memes and black holes. However, its implications are far-reaching, touching upon the interplay between online trends and the collective fascination with the mysteries of the universe. As we peer into the digital abyss, pondering the peculiar connection between "all your base" and black holes, we are reminded that even the most unexpected correlations can shed light on the whimsical tapestry of human curiosity and the cosmic dance of statistical significance.
To sum it up, the association between the "all your base" meme and Google searches for black holes is not just statistically significant; it's cosmically captivating. So, in the immortal words of internet memes and astrophysical wonders, our findings invite us to embrace the unexpected and ponder the cosmic connection that ties the digital whimsy of memes to the profound mysteries of the universe.

Correlation r = 0.9730470 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r² = 0.9468205 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 94.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'black holes') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the 'all your base' meme) over the 18 years from 2006 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-11.^Show 0.0000000000128698788865843110
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme.^Note More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.97 in 1.3E-9% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 77,700,808,905 random variables^Note You don't actually need 77 billion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 17 degrees of freedom, ^Note Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 17 because we have two variables measured over a period of 18 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.93, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
^{Read more about the confidence interval} The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!

All values for the years included above: ^Note If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
Lack of causal connection: There is probably^Note Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple^Note Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
