I’m not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

    The only thing I know Edmund Halley from is an audio drama I listen to. Is there a conspiracy surrounding this astronomer?

      No it’s just he’s a very famous man. It’s like saying before Stephen Hawkins died he had a conspiracy theory.

      Though really it would me more like Einstein saying quantum mechanics is wrong. It’s just a scientist making a hypothesis and then being wrong about it. But the fact it started by such a famous person is kinda cool.

        Edmond Halley from the Magnus archives is much cooler. He was forcibly drowned in a pool of absolute darkness belonging to a cult he was apart of and absorbed an embodiment of nyctophobia which he used to swap bodies for centuries effectively achieving immortality until he could somehow find a way to darken the sun. Real Edmond Halley is still cool though
