I am happy that conspiracies and such may be unraveled and the truth revealed eventually is finally proven by a researcher at Oxford University. However, when you read the article it actually is really alarming at the number of people involved in the conspiracies, the long length of time it takes to prove that the hoaxes are fake, and the number of people who still believe in the hoaxes after they were proven untrue.
Seriously, even in the current days of technology it still takes someone about 6 years to prove something is fake or a lie and it involved 36,000 people – see the Edward Snowden and PRISM example.
No wonder all those scientists ended up in prison, excommunicated from the church, tortured, and/or dead before the rest of us were able to prove that they were right – think Newton and Galileo, etc.
But the bigger problem is all those people who still believe. See moon landing was a hoax section within the article. So even if you can prove that things are fake what is the use when the masses still believe?
I wish I studied human psychology at this point as I still cannot for the life of me understand people.
