Absurd, aimless theory


Explanation:
If we try to translate literally such expression, it will be as follows: Colorless, tasteless and odorless theory, which makes no sense in English. Therefore, the meaningful translation would certainly be: Absurd, aimless theory.

totally baseless theory/ absolutely baseless theory

للدلالة على كلمة لا لون ولا طعم ولا رائحة، يجب أن نستخدم ظرفًا يأتي في الجملة قبل الصفة لكي يقوم بهذا المعنى، وأعتقد أن البديلين
totally baseless theory/ absolutely baseless theory

يقومان بهذا الغرض
