Don't forget Sandy Hook was all crisis actors.
Yeah one of Alex Jones's slobbering fanboys was on this board at that time and informed us in no uncertain terms that Sandy Hook was carried out by government agents. Makes you wonder how someone like that dresses himself in the morning.
There is one weird part of Sandy Hook: the picture of the lady who was crying and it looks like the same person who was photographed at several other disasters. It's just a coincidence, but it is kind of weird.
Conspiracy theories are extremely toxic when people lack the ability to think critically. Otherwise, they can be kind of funny and interesting for pure entertainment value.
How did I forget the "flat earthers"? GREAT conspiracy theory. Good netflix documentary on it as well.
Actually not as far fetched as some would believe. Many physicist believe in a theory that states the entire universe is flat.
The ability to think critically is somewhat controlled by the information we are "allowed" to have access to. Control the outgoing information and you control the conclusions and the narrative for the most part.
They don't believe it's flat, they believe that it is much more 2 dimensional than 3 dimensional. Not exactly flat, but not a ball shape like you would think would have happened if the big bang was a thing.
That and we’re talking two different eras here. One era information travelled rather slow and people werent nearly as connected. The other era we can get information very quickly.
Have you seen the documentary? Those guys aren't working on the same level of intellect what you're referring to. They think its flat because they can't physically see the curvature of the earth when they're standing in a field. It's crazy.
No, thinking critically is a skill set that operates independently of information that one is consuming. Conclusions are influenced and perhaps limited by said information, that much is true, but critical thinking skills are not defined by information, they are techniques learned via education.
So, what I was really trying to say there was, conspiracy theories nearly always assume a conclusion first (i.e., 9/11 was an inside job, the government is evil, some other crazy theory) and then work themselves back towards your viewpoint with often highly circumstantial or even fake evidence. Thats why there are so many of them and they fall apart very quickly when they are subjected to reasoned analysis.
No, completely far-fetched. Planets are completely different than the universe. It's been proven over and over that the earth is spherical in shape.
BTW, when physicists apply the term 'flat' to the universe, they are speaking in relative terms.
How to diplomatically address flat-Earthers:
"Kyrie Irving and I went to the same college," said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. "He may have taken some different courses."
The “patriarchy” is my favorite lunatic conspiracy theory.
They probably fell darn close to how they were designed to fall in a congested metropolis with a metric crap ton of monetary interests all around them in mind, as to remain intact as possible.
objects take the path of least resistance. The path of least resistance was towards the part of the building with the big gash in it. Not straight down.
You can actually see the top 40 or so floors start to topple over until it decides to go straight down.
The official explanation is that it was a pancake collapse and each floor smashed down on the one below it and so on. I find two problems with that.
1.) What happened to the steel beams? The floors should have fallen but the beams should have been sticking in the air if it was caused by the pancake theory. The beam structure
2.) Pancake collapses actually slow down as they hit subsequent floors, not increase; The rate of speed increased with the collapsing towers. No resistance.

So you think the twin towers were designed like a roaring 20's brick warehouse?
Tell me....who survives a head on collision going 120mph....you in the 57 Chevy all steel style machine, or me in the 2018 Kia Optima?
nice red herring.
The towers were built to withstand the high winds and possible plane crashes.
Everyone that is calling people nuts for questioning Nine Eleven should take 10 seconds and watch Building Seven collapse. It WAS NOT HIT by an airplane.
Its funny the mental gymnastics sometimes for certain folks... "nine eleven was definitely not a conspiracy... but all those climate scientists sure are in on one!"

9/11 is definitely a situation where "political science" is defended over physical science.
...and they also designed them to fall in as safe a manner as possible in the case of a catastrophic event. It COULD be that they were not strong enough to take on an air bus going 600 miles and hour.
My wood shop in high school has a really cool project where we would build bridges(mini ones of course) and test the strength of them using weights. At no time did we lob or drop a weight at/on them to test their strength.
How many towers were built and someone fly a loaded down air bus into them to test the air craft crash features? Probably pretty expensive huh? I'm guessing ZERO.
It is one thing that they collapsed at all. 1 tower was hit in the side, 1 tower was hit in the corner and 1 tower was not hit at all.
The other point is the way they fell. They all got hit in different ways or not at all and yet they all fell at the speed of gravity into a nice little pile.
Don't forget the molten metal beneath the towers.

When they want to go faster, jet engines compress the fuel and add air, but it gets hotter, and is a thermal problem.
Going into a story or two of a building at 2-300 miles an hour, with all the fuel mostly being dumped all at once and trapped would cause some serious heat, its not like what we see when a plane hits the gound is has all the air, and is not confined in any way.
Ram jets are exactly how this works, and werent possible until they could make the proper composites to help solve the thermal problem.
Oh and no, skyscapers arent made of those composites.

Thats quite a hypocritical position to be in, and it is all about science anyways.
We can create things down at the lowest nano scale, but some find it hard to accept building steel isnt meant for extreme temps.
I find this extremely scientifically ignorant, with no way out.
The earth is still flat for some, it's always been this way.
The Earth is flat. Go outside and look around.
Well, kind of wavy and bumpy. But not round.
Also never seen a globe with
all of us sticking straight out like porcupine quills.
Plus think about it:. Whenever you drop something where does it go? Down, right? If this thing was a globe all kinds of garbage would be down at the bottom but it's not. Antarctica has less trash than everywhere else

Whats funny is, the very description of short sighted explains this.
Remember the guy that built his own rocket, yet claimed the earth to be flat?
He needs a bigger rocket, everything solved.
justice served!
and wait, nobody posted the 'vaccinations cause autism' conspiracy, yet?
although, i'd prefer that justice never be served.
but it will, as a hot round of smallpox or polio will surely cure that f'n nonsense...
