What if I said that John Lennon was not killed by Mark David Chapman.

Instead, he was whisked away by aliens at the last second and Chapman shot a stand-in.

Lennon is actually working on a new album and playing to an adoring public on another planet. He's also glad to be free from Yoko at last.

It's not very likely, but it IS possible...based on what we know of Yoko.

Alien intervention is an unlikely scenario due to the expanse of the universe and the interstellar distances.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
