So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true? And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

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. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond_Halley permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* 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 permalink fedilink source parent
