Despite evidence, some believe the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax. An Oxford scientist calculated over 400,000 people would have to keep quiet for it to be true. The scientist also tested other hoaxes and found they would be discovered in less than four years. He hopes to build public trust and bring reality to discussions.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, one of the most prominent and enduring conspiracy theories is the idea that the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 was a hoax. It’s a prime example of how conspiracy theorists don’t let facts be facts. Skeptics say it was all a theatrical event that took place on a Hollywood backlot. But do you know how many people should have kept quiet about this alleged hoax? In 2016, an Oxford University scientist calculated that more than 400,000 people should have been “inside” the conspiracy and never uttered a word about it.
It’s not a hoax, folks:
David Robert Grimes of Oxford has also tested his unique formula on other so-called hoaxes: for example, that climate change is a hoax, that vaccinations are not safe and that Big Pharma is hiding a cure for cancer.
All four “conspiracies” would have been discovered in less than four years, according to Grimes’ calculations. He says NASA had 411,000 employees in the 1960s and they should all have kept their mouths shut.
“On a small scale, conspiracies always exist,” Grimes said. But he doubts her mathematical analysis of him will sway the conspiracy’s true supporters. He just wants to build public trust and give a dose of reality to those discussions.
