The Earth is flat. The cures for many common diseases have been created and tested. You can ditch your electric company and power your home for free. All this and more is true . . . if you’re a conspiracy theorist, that is!
In this part we’ll take a look at the conspiracy theories surrounding the business of suppressive science. Now, you’ll often find made-up or misrepresented sciences used to explain technologies that exist only in our dreams. The expected result is an Internet filled with impossible-to-createmachines and wild theories, all explained by tossed-together sciencey-sounding words with no real meaning. Closely related is the idea that “science doesn’t know everything,” which of course means that anything a person wants to believe to be true is true. The names of famous scientists like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and Galileo Galilei can almost always be found backing up these claims. These scientists’ theories are almost always grossly misrepresented, but for people who want to believe, including these “proven” ideas helps back up any conspiracy theory. So let’s take a look and find out what the theorists think about suppressed science.
