'If the moon landings were fake, the truth would have been exposed within 4 years'
The London Daily Mail ^ | January 27, 2016 | Victoria Woollaston

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....

Really. Although I’ll probably be accused of saying that a certain someone doesn’t believe in the Moon landing.

How about KISS. The moon landing is real. Human caused climate change is fake, keep it simple stupid.

9/11 needed a similar number. But leftists can’t blame Muslims, so it’s Bush’s fault.

Kinda like 30,000 people worked on the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and everyone in the world knew what they were doing. (not)

The Russians would have exposed it immediately.

It’s cute and it’s fun. But, ultimately, it’s just another model. You plug in some numbers and it gives you an answer. But, does that answer really mean anything? Who knows?

For the record, according to Wikipedia, the first book questioning the moon landings was written in 1974, six years after we went. One might say that’s pretty good agreement with the model.

And...NO...I do NOT believe that the moon landings were fake.

Y'know ... if it's human caused .... the solution is kill ALL humans

Let's start with the ones that actually believe that

AGW has already been exposed. East Anglia email hack, hide the decline and all that? The MSM simply ignored it.

The climate is changing. It has been since the 18th century. Assuming that it HAS been caused by the industrial revolution: how do we get back to the conditions of 1750?

Buzz Aldrin is an astronaut.

Algore is a space cadet.

Well, Buzz Aldrin is a fan of Chef Ramsay, so, how does global warming toe in with the moon landing? With a gourmet chef followed by one of our moon landing astronauts. Cooking has too much greenhouse gases released.

Global Warming has already been proven to be a hoax by many. The fact that this author doesn’t realize that fact exposed him to be very gullible.

Get onto following non political or acting celebs like Buzz Aldrin is interesting. He is into gourmet cooking, and a fan of Chef Ramsey
