~CONSPIRACY THEORIES~ - Joesmyname - 03-07-2017
I wanna hear your most interesting conspiracy theories. Please post below.
Mine would have to be that the whole universe is a simulation. I actually genuinely believe this theory, so I'll do my best to explain in the way it was originally explained to me. First of all, computer simulations run by us predict that there is a 99% probability that we are in a simulation. It's just 'too' perfect. Our laws of physics, the way we've evolved. It's so mathematical, so precise, that it's almost impossible for computers to determine if we are in a simulation or not.
More so, you can look at video games. Let's go back 45 years and what do we have. two lines and a dot, bounce from one side to the other, scoring goals like soccer. We had Pong. In what most would consider only half the length of time of a human life we have gone from two lines and a dot to video games where we can put on a face mask and headphones and be so immersed in a game that it can both scare us and make us almost feel things so close to real life. It'd be wrong for any of you to think that in another 45 years we wouldn't have video games that are completely indistinguishable from reality. It'll feel like you're in the game, we'll make entire worlds that we could do anything in without leaving our bedroom.
Now let me ask you this. If in 90 years we will go from Pong to the most immersive experience possible, what can we do in another 90 years on top of that? Maybe 100 years after that? 500 years? Eventually we will be able to simulate entire universes, and why wouldn't we? We would run these simulations to get understandings of how our own universe evolved and try and find the secrets of where everything came from to make the big bang. But for us to simulate these universes means us to simulate life, evolution, and so much more. At this level the life we simulate could very well believe that they themselves are real, and not part of a simulation.
Now let me ask a final question. At this future point where we can simulate universes, what would make you ever think that we were the first ones to do so? What makes us so special that we aren't just part of a simulation ourselves?

SEE IT'S SO BELIEVABLE

That's pretty bold. I've often wondered similar things myself, but not to this extent. When I get lost in conspiracy I just give myself a smack. Day dreamers thinking what if...
One good example is a bloke at work was way into the flat earth theory.
He had some good points, but some not so good ones as well.
Now don't let the title fool you, although it's called flat earth, the theory is that the earth is bowl shaped, with the arctic at the bottom, and Antarctica stretches around the edge. Also that the sun and moon rotate within the bowl. And NASA is a giant government run facility that just make advanced paintings and little models to lie to us XD
Some examples he gave were that when you look out at the horizon it bends upwards instead of down (like inverse of what it should). I know there is some science for that, but I don't know it so I can't argue... Also with the sun and the moon in the bowl, I ask howcome there is still day and night? And the example given was that if you hold a torch right, and shine it against a wall. And walk backwards away from the wall. Eventually the torch's light isn't visible on the wall. Which is correct, thats why we're not blinded by every star in the universe, but if the sun was that close to the land, we would be dead from the heat, probably blind from the light, and it's just ridiculous. The sun's size, vs the moon's. Nights would be a fraction as long...
I'm gonna stop because this feels like a rant, but basically it's full of holes, yet so many people believe it.

I'm almost inclined to believe the flat earth theory. One thing that I am almost inclined to believe is that the government faked the moon landing.
I personally believe that many of life's mysteries are up to alien doings. Like the pyramids. No way did they build them in just 20 years at that stage of society.

There's also a fake moon theory, not moon landing, fake moon...
