are just crazy and they have all the pros against them.

Flat Earth theory
The Flat Earth theory is exactly what it sounds like. It is a belief amongst a wide range of individuals that the earth is not round, but in fact flat.
Believers of this theory believe the search takes a disc like shape and the Artic circle is in the center of the earth.
Although there is plenty of evidence within photographs, videos, science, to disprove this theory, believers insist that the information is incorrect.

ABC news captures inside the minds of many flat earther's at this convention. The video proves to be interesting as nobelievers can interpret the thought process behind this conspiracy.
The moon landing
The conspiracy behind the "moon landing", is that America faked the landing in order to beat Russia in the space race.
Believers in this theory often point to it being scientifically impossible for the flag to be waving, as there was not sufficient wind,
Again, despite plenty of evidence and video footage, conspirators will insist that the landing was fake.
