Top 10 Space Conspiracy Theories

Posted October 14, 2010 1:41 PM

From HowStuffWorks Daily Feed:

If the venerable television series "Star Trek" has taught us one thing, it's that the holodeck will never wor­k properly and you should never go in there. ­But if it's taught us two things, the second must be that space is the final frontier. Even when we've managed to learn everything there is to know about Earth, there will still be mysteries to explore in space. Are there intelligent species living far beyond our solar system? What exactly is dark matter? Could wormholes hold the secret to faster-than-light travel?

"What exactly is dark matter?"

If you really are dying to know, you are welcome to scrape some off of our oven.

Good one! We need a ROTFL emoticon. Sometimes the smiley face just doesn't quite cut it...

I,for one, do believe that aliens do exist and are living among us. Else wise how could we explain Del (the typing/talking cat)?And his partner Kris (that rascally typing/talking squirrel)?

Also if all that stuff isn't real that would mean that I was nuts and we all know that's not the case. Right guys?! C'mon, someone back me up on this. Please.

Seriously though, many things are unexplainable. This in its self does not make them suspect (unless you choose to see it that way). Some theories have a certain amount of merit where others are way out there. Without substantial evidence, either way, you can only guess.

At times one must think that facts are left out for a reason - maybe government agencies need us to think that there is something going on in one area (51) so that they can continue working unobserved elsewhere. (oops, did I just start another theory?).

Sorry, gotta go now, my alien overlords are calling me back for some more probing...Bye!

I think he's still working on replacing that burnt out flux capacitor. Unfortunately he's stuck in the dark ages so we're gonna be here for a while buddy!
