Many people have panned the movie 'Interstellar' (2014) starring Matthew McConaughey. In the opening scenes, the child aged "Murph" is disciplined by the school principal for perpetuating the myth that humans really landed on the moon. I can easily imagine the Apollo moon landings becoming a myth! The internet has enabled conspiracy theorists to give equal voice to genuine scientists. So it shouldn't be surprising that the large human population untrained in science literacy, might begin leaning towards conspiracy. Natural selection does the rest. |

And a conspiracy theory can give you answers to everything, unlike science. |
