New research from Betoota University suggests world peace could be on the way - and it might just start with a T-shirt. 

The Advocate caught up with Dr Brendan Chen, the lead researcher of the team behind the discovery. 

“Obviously, we’re living in unprecedented times, you know,”

“You have a global war, a national fuel crisis, an upcoming budget that's causing a great deal of unrest,”

“But we really do believe the secret to world peace may lie in this T-shirt,”

The initial hypothesis came after Chen witnessed local woman Kimberley Sanders on the 889 bus wearing the shirt that reads “Bookstores. Cats. Life Is Sweet.” 

The 32 year old says she hadn't even thought twice when getting dressed that morning.

“When I put it on of course I was thinking like wow, this one really has a sweet message, I wish more people would kind of live their life thinking this way, but that was kind of where it finished,”

For Chen, however, that was just where it started. 

“You know in all my time, I never really thought the answer could be so straight forward,”

“But it really is. We really need to drop the whole politics thing, the whole government thing,”

“As long as cats and bookstores exist, we’re okay. We really will be okay,”

“Life is sweet.”

The team is currently preparing to present the findings to the United Nations next week. 

“We're really hopeful this will be it. The answer to world peace,” Chen said.

More to come.
