What's the craziest conspiracy theory you believe/entertain

Post Reply New Topic

Here's my conspiracy theory. Back in the 16th century it was becoming increasingly clear to astronomers that the Copernican model was the correct one. Yet it was still forbidden by the Catholics because Galileo had called the Pope names a some years earlier.

Now Tycho Brahe comes along with an alternative to the Ptolemaic model. Tycho proposes that while the outer planets orbit the earth, the inner planets, Mercury and Venus orbit the sun (which also orbits the earth). This was acceptable to the Catholics because it was also a form of geocentrism. They saw it as a harmless variant on the Ptolemaic model.

But if you look at the model closely, you see that while the outer planets go around the earth, their orbits are centred on the sun, which is moving around the earth. What this means is that the relative motions are the same as in the Copernican model.

My conspiracy theory is that the Tychonic model was taught to students who knew full well that the Copernican model was the correct one. While basing their calculations on the Tychonic model, the relative motions were the same as in the Copernican model so they could make the same predictions without upsetting their benefactors who required a geocentric model.

The question in the OP is phrased in a strange way. I mean, people are obviously not going to consider their own beliefs to be crazy.

I will say that I believe certain things now that I would have considered crazy many years ago. In fact, there are some things I believe now to the point of virtual certainty that I'm sure would just get censored if I talked about them on here. That's not to say that fact bothers me too much - there are other places I can talk about them.

It's because of this that I think the phrase "conspiracy theory" is overused. I know that there are people out there who want to claim that every incident that ever makes the news is some sort of set-up involving "crisis actors", which does get a bit tiresome. But I find it just as tiresome seeing people at the other end of the spectrum (people who refuse to ever question authority).

Yes. The original post is very ambiguous, and rather self contradictory. You dont know which way to go with it...tongue-in-cheek, or serious.


I went tongue in cheek.

If I were to go serious...i dunno.

I can only think of two conspiracy theories that I am open to (maybe I can think of others later). They are Jeffery Epstien's death, and Putin/Trump.

To me its obvious that Trump is in some way a partner with Putin. I cant believe that Trump just decided one day that "I will go radically against my own Republican Party, and go to heroic lengths to undermine US interests, undermine and destroy all of Amrica's alliances in ways that benifit Russia...just because I think that would be a good idea to f**k over America and help Russia." The billions he has invested in real estate in Russia must have made him in hoc to Moscow in some way. And strictly speaking that would be a "conspiracy theory". Its basically just two people conspiring (and not the thousands of co conspirators over decades to keep a fake moon landing covered up). A modest scale conspiracy. But still a conspiracy. So yeah...thats one of the few I "believe in". Russia may not have influenced the 16 election, or even sought to do that. But thats the least of the troubling ways Trump acted like Putin's agent.

There is actually little evidence Ive seen that Epstein's death was anything BUT a suicide. But still...you cant NOT be suspicious about it. Lol! Every powerful male person on the planet, who is not gay, seems to have been associated with Jeffery Epstein at some point...so his death would benifit many powerful guys. Trump, Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, etc etc.. So his convenient death...maybe its a coincidence, or maybe its not, was...rather convenient. We will see.

Got to wonder about this smoke outside hazey air from fires over 2000 miles away . And have heard issues of people coughing from it on the radio. [ And me outside yesterday coughing in my yard.]
Now , i have been around major fires and little campfires . And rarely have found myself coughing.
Usually a matter of getting out of the smoke . But only when the density of the smoke is high, i might cough. But this smoke from 2000 miles away. irritating my lungs and smelling more chemistry like.

Makes me wonder about this smoke , " Causing me to wonder about the old time Aerosol Tests the USA using depleted biowarefare agents , Monitoring hospital intakes in the area.
Using smoke would be ideal conditions ( excuse)for this type dispersal .

There is a hec of a Conpirascy .
