Oh really O.K.? Well why is it that from space you look and it is blue and everyone says that it is the ocean that is blue, yet on Earth when you look up it is blue also. So what the heck are you looking at? The ocean or sky? Are we under the ocean? Are there 2 oceans one above us that is suspended in the air and one under us?????
What's going on? I think someone's hiding something!!

Well, scientific studies show that your eye flips images "right-side" up. So are we really walking upside down all the time? Is that why our bodies are made up of 70% water. So are we under water? Is the water the sky and that's why the earth is blue and everyone says that cliche "your head's in the clouds" to hide it? I WANNA KNOW!!!!!

Forget about all that stuff. We're actually all inside my head. I've been kept in a box, under someone's nightstand, for twenty some-odd years. Sure, they give me a little water and a peice of bread every now and then but I'm just waiting for a good chance to break free and take back my normal life as a mental patient.

Or how about the biggest conspiracy of all.... that there is no big conspiracy, explaining everything, and that what you see is what you get. Everything that's claimed to have happened, did happen, and there's no grand explanation of why things happened, why people acted the way they did, no puppetmasters pulling the strings. Everyone acted alone, randomly, and stuff just happens for no real reason, and no grand design.
The scariest conspiracy of all.... that reality is just that.

So, do those canny Scots folks know who put the "Aye" in the pyramid? Is Baphomet really a small village outside Peebles? Who are those little green men hanging around Rosslyn Chapel? Dear oh dear.

Duo, if you haven't realised yet that the US has taken over Japan (and all those little islands along the Chinese coast), then you may be forgiven for promoting this theory. Pokémon exist in order to separate children from their (parent's) money, and they're doing it now, not later. People became helpless in 1982.

and i've found another theory...why is it that we can see crystal clear pictures of galaxies millions of miles away but we still can't get a good picture of pluto or uranus.

Take a high powered telescope, the kind you'd use to look at the moon. Then use it to watch TV. Kind of out of focus? It's too powerful for something that close. Now take the same telescope and take a look at the edg of the universe. Can't make out all those galaxies? That's cos the telescope is too weak. The problem is the vast majority of telescopes we have are either too strong or too weak to take photos of Pluto and Uranus (and Neptune, which is conspicous by its absence, particularly since it is presently the furthest planet in our solar system from the sun). We prefer to use probes to look at them. The only reason Voyager II (which brought back fantastic images of Uranus by the way) didn't go to Pluto was that Plutos vast orbit had taken it so far away from its flightpath that Voyager would never be able to get to it. I think Pluto's orbit takes about 257 years.
And by we, I do mean WE. I am in control of NASA. We are reverse engineering UFOs. We killed Kennedy because he, the Pope, the Queen, Henry Kissinger and the Skulls are all in league with the Bilderberg Group and the Hapsburg dynasty to create a One World Government, headed by the Priory of Sion, whose seat will be at Rennes-le-Chateau. We were forewarned by this by an alien who crashed at Roswell, NM in 1947, after he accidently was sent hurtling through time by the Tunguska Blast of 1906 (caused by Nikola Tesla, who was covering up the existence of Yetis, who were planning to help Anastasia escape the Russian Revolution to set up a new Czar dynasty). We could not allow a One World Government as this would interfere with our work in the Military-Industrial Project. The MIP must rule the world, through releasing plagues, causing natural disasters and brainwashing people. We founded Sony, and are using personal stereos and MiniDiscs to wipe peoples minds. Any cartoon show ending in "mon" has a similar effect. Don't worry though, the End Times are coming, and I'll make sure everyone has a seat on the space shuttle to heaven to escape it.
Which just about sums up my thoughts on conspiracy theories. Nice bedtime stories, but when you think about them really...

yes, i heard about that! it was on TV, about how a cross (like jesus's) was etched on the lens. in the photos, the scratch should have been on top of everything since it was closest to the camera. well, the spacemen and flag covered up the cross in more than one photo, so they think that the government just put pics on top of the photos of the moon that were taken by robots! wierd, huh?

Has the future already happened? Are we living in the past. Is all time parallel, so that as I am writing this, livingston and Stanley are meeting at Ujiji, Macbeth is doing in Duncan, William is conquering, Hitler is drinking Pils in a Munich Bierkeller and complaining that no-one will buy his paintings, and the Spaniards are inquisiting people. "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Maybe that works, maybe it doesn't. Maybe the whole of life is like the Tardis. Maybe we are all awaiting the coming of the Great White Handkerchief.
Maybe the Earth really is Flat. It doesn't look round. You don't fall off if you live in Oz (Lis back me up on that one). Maybe the circumnavigators went round the circumference of a circle, and not a sphere (or oblate spheroid). Maybe History is an invevtion. Maybe I should be locked up.

Huh? I'm not quite following what you're getting at.
For all of you who are interested (that'd be what, none of you?) I used to believe. I used to believe in conspiracies, and alien visitations, and government coverups. I now admit to possibilities, but not to belief. I have become cynical and jaded, which is not a good admission to make at the age of 21. I still have an interest in these stories, but only for what they reveal about human nature.

April 20th, 2001, 04:57 PM
Blimey! I didn't read the Illuminatus trilogy 'til I was 23! Mind you, I discovered cynicism bigtime at 24. Now my only interest in conspiricies is, like Scots', psychological, and archaeological, but only in a quasi-armchair sort of way.
I used to be really concerned about big conspiracies, but after going to some warzones, I figured that my energy and brainpower would be better spent elsewhere. Sure, there's some big secrets that some people don't want us to know, but dealing with what we know is quite enough without looking for more crap. And if I discovered THE BIG ONE? What could I do about it? Conspiracy theorists, on the whole and in my experience, overestimate their own importance.
If you spend too much time thinking about UFO's, just remember this simple fact: There are two possibilities, either there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, or there is not. Either fact is astonishing. Get over this astonishment and go and do something useful.

What the dickens makes you think I'm in favour of the Russians? I don't hate them, I certainly don't have any great love for the the perverse form of communism that manifested there (I think Joe Stalin was a monster). It did produce some good technology, however, just like Italian fascism produced some good architecture. Ever see that Mir space station which crashed a few weeks ago? Russian. Good solid Russian technology. Boy, was NASA jealous.
So, do you have something against the Russians then?

If the moon didn't rotate on its axis then we would see all of its sides. Try it. Place an apple on a table and walk round it (since all motion is relative this is the equivalent of an object that does not rotate on its axis orbiting you). You get to see all round the apple. The reason we only see one side of the moom is that its rotational period on its axis is exactly the same as its orbit around the earth, and the direction of its rotation means it always keeps the same side facing us. This coincidence is of itself the subject of conspiracy theories. Another conspiracy theory is the fact that the size of the moon relative to the sun is the same as it's distance from us relative to the suns distance from us. This means we get perfect solar eclipses, which are essential for the verification of certain theories of quantum physics. The conspiracy theory related to this is that aliens positioned the moon so that when we discovered quantum physics we'd be able to test it. Cool huh?

Wasn't quantum physics demonstrated by the Ultraviolet Catastrophe?

Yep Ada but I think I am just as cynical as you and thats why we would argue great together! The only part that sucks is we would go on forever http://www.dumblaws.com/ubb/wink.gif

i'm so happy that this many people had theories that they wanted to talk about.... i never would've guessed that it would have gone this far...

yes but see what happens when we get on the theory subject! We all start bickering with one another and we shouldnt do that! But yes, we all have our own theorys, everyone does!
