From the moon landings being an elaborate hoax, to climate change deniers, there are many conspiracy theories that are believed by a large number of people worldwide.
But the amount of people who would have been involved in keeping such large-scale secrets suggests that if they were true, they would have been exposed by someone by now.
With this in mind, a physicist has calculated how many people would have potentially worked on some of the most popular theories, and what is the likelihood of them all keeping a secret.
Using this model, the truth about the moon landings being a hoax would have been exposed in three years and eight months.
A climate change fraud would have been uncovered in three years nine months, a vaccination conspiracy would take three years and two months to be revealed, and a suppressed cancer cure would come to light after three years and three months....

Human capacity for delusion and epistemological arrogance appears to be getting worse.
They were stuck in the middle of NM and 99% had no clue about the nature of what they were doing __ just that it was s big deal. I
And it still leaked out — Rosenburgs
The climate has never NOT been changing. As for getting back to 1750...no thanks, too cold. We’re working on getting back to 1150, the height of the Medieval Warm Period, when English vineyards rivaled those of France.
I would say it takes about 30 seconds to expose this fraudulent “research”.
I’ve met people that claimed to have walked on the moon. They’re too old to get out of a rocking chair. So I don’t buy their stories.
Actually, it looks like their REAL GOAL is to discredit Global Warming deniers, by lumping it with Moon Landing deniers.
...nice try there.
Climate change was debunked within 6 m onths of it being proposed.
Oh yea - what about the 200mpg carburetor?
I interviewed for a job at ORNL in 1979. They still had buildings where the folks on the second floor had no idea what went on on the first floor and vice versa.
XKCD had a great answer to the “Moon landings are fake!” theory.
If they had faked the landing, they would have done a couple more to justify their budget.
Compartmentalized work spaces and divisions, no internet to “spread the news,” and no easy phone access, essentially isolated, mail scrutinized, high patriotic character and a dedication to saving this great nation, not hiding the truth by spewing a bold-faced lie, all came together to ensure virtual silence (though rumors did exist and Germany heard some).
Perhaps they are confusing MOONSHINE with walking on the moon. . .some ‘shine’ out there can make you believe you are on the moon.
Well, the world didn't end yesterday as foretold by the Rev Algore . . . . .
The Soviets knew.

And the Soviets knew the Moon landing was real.
Using a denial of an actual event to set up rejecting a denial of a lie. Interesting strategy.
How about the Kenyan president?
And the Vikings named Greenland.
What was happening was the end of the little Ice Age. One reason for the population boom that started then. The warming trend has continued. Think of London in Dickensâ time and now.
Well good. I’m gonna go make a burnt offering of an oil-soaked tire wit the incantation “no more ice ages, bring the age of rice paddies in Siberia”
