The Flat Earth Society

But Einstein said the whole universe could be flat. I guess most people take for grantie that the universe dimensions are equal x=y=z, but the universe could be as flat as paper, where for example x=x, y=x, z=1/1,000,000,000,000,000(x). And since the whatever equipment we use to measure will change it's dimension deprending where it's pointed we could not tell whether or not if we exist in an equal-dimension or flat universe. But I heard a few scientist talk about hte universe as either being flat, or flat and curved, like a bubble, either way by believing the universe is flat they vindicate The Flat Earth Society. It's a flat spherical Earth in a flat Universe!

Though I do understand the point you're trying to make. Unfortunately, as you probably already know, there's no way to prove it.

That the russians are developing

Any David Icke followers here?

You gotta watch it with an open mind

9/11 was orchestrated by the U.S. Government

The Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked by NASA

The whole Area 51 thing

It probably wasn't an organized hit though, I'm sure it was just a random act of violence that lead to misguided retaliation killing.

These are some of my favorites. I don't know if I have anything extra to add. 5-10 years ago, I used to read Alex Jones crap and be interested in Illuminati, Bohemian Grove, etc. but not so much any more.

I like Huey from Boondocks blunt approach: "Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan is the devil, and the government is lyin about 9/11"

I think the 9/11 conspiracy is my 'favorite', or most believed in at least. The gov't had planned similar false flag terror attacks before, as basis for Cuba intervention for example, so I don't put it past them. I was only 14 or so during 9/11 but it never really added up for me. I don't think a plane hit the Pentagon. I think the WTC was hit by planes but also set to demolish, especially the separate building 7.

I think the moon landing might have been faked, but it's hard to keep such a big secret. I do believe we know have the ability to do so, but I'm not confident we really had the ability to that in the 60s.

Moving past that, I think Courtney Love killed Cobain. Many disagree, and I'm not really heavily invested in this one because I was in middle school when it happened and I just want to believe Love is a murderous ****.

Bermuda Triangle is dope. I believe in that, in a way, though haven't thought of it in ages. Area 51, also. I think there's some alien tech being developed there. I really enjoyed Simon Pegg/Nick Frost/Seth Rogen in the movie Paul for this.

Here's one that isn't listed yet: Atlantis.

This guy is hilarious.

Area 51 does exist, it's just a matter of what goes down there.

Not sure if serious.

do you guys remember gary mckinnon the dude who hacked into nasa and says he found ufo stuff?

Quote:

WN: Did you find anything in your search for evidence of UFOs?
McKinnon: Certainly did. There is The Disclosure Project. This is a book with 400 testimonials from everyone from air traffic controllers to those responsible for launching nuclear missiles. Very credible witnesses. They talk about reverse-(engineered) technology taken from captured or destroyed alien craft.
WN: Like the Roswell incident of 1947?
McKinnon: I assume that was the first and assume there have been others. These relied-upon people have given solid evidence.
WN: What sort of evidence?
McKinnon: A NASA photographic expert said that there was a Building 8 at Johnson Space Center where they regularly airbrushed out images of UFOs from the high-resolution satellite imaging. I logged on to NASA and was able to access this department. They had huge, high-resolution images stored in their picture files. They had filtered and unfiltered, or processed and unprocessed, files.
My dialup 56K connection was very slow trying to download one of these picture files. As this was happening, I had remote control of their desktop, and by adjusting it to 4-bit color and low screen resolution, I was able to briefly see one of these pictures. It was a silvery, cigar-shaped object with geodesic spheres on either side. There were no visible seams or riveting. There was no reference to the size of the object and the picture was taken presumably by a satellite looking down on it. The object didn't look manmade or anything like what we have created. Because I was using a Java application, I could only get a screenshot of the picture -- it did not go into my temporary internet files. At my crowning moment, someone at NASA discovered what I was doing and I was disconnected.
I also got access to Excel spreadsheets. One was titled "Non-Terrestrial Officers." It contained names and ranks of U.S. Air Force personnel who are not registered anywhere else. It also contained information about ship-to-ship transfers, but I've never seen the names of these ships noted anywhere else.
WN: Could this have been some sort of military strategy game or outline of hypothetical situations?
McKinnon: The military want to have military dominance of space. What I found could be a game -- it's hard to know for certain.
WN: Some say that you have given the UFO motivation for your hacking as a distraction from more nefarious activities.
McKinnon: I was looking before and after 9/11. If I had wanted to distract anyone, I would not have chosen ufology, as this opens me up to ridicule.

I think the Sonny Bono theory is my favorite. Interesting stuff. I like conspiracy theories mostly for entertainment value, but some have a substantial amount of supporting evidence.
