I’m not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

    Hollow earth theory is one of personal favorites, mainly due to how batshit insane it is, and how unhinged the supporters are. They make flat earthers seem like functional members of society in comparison.

    For the uninitiated: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth

    The Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial interior space

        The only thing I know Edmund Halley from is an audio drama I listen to. Is there a conspiracy surrounding this astronomer?

          No it’s just he’s a very famous man. It’s like saying before Stephen Hawkins died he had a conspiracy theory.

          Though really it would me more like Einstein saying quantum mechanics is wrong. It’s just a scientist making a hypothesis and then being wrong about it. But the fact it started by such a famous person is kinda cool.
