RE: Understanding Cognition: The Moon Hoax Bias
This along with the flat earth conspiracy is pretty much nonsense. It seems to also break down along the lines of those who were alive and remember it as it happened know what reality was like during that era. Those born after 1970 seem most likely to think there's something real to these theories. I think the reason for this is that since about the early 1990's, combined with the phenomena of fake news is the fact that movie magic (CGI) made it possible to fake nearly everything.
We didn't have that technology back in the 1960's and if someone did, it would have leaked out. The only way to keep something secret between any three people is if two of them are dead.
Mathematics is actually quite enough to debunk most of this. @stan (who was a rocket scientist) actually did a really good video on this somewhere.
Yup, the flat earth conspiracy is closely linked to this. It has been shown that it would be impossible to fake, for a start you would need around a billion LEDs to recreate the lighting.
:-) Yup, imagine keeping a secret between half a million people!
Thanks for the tip of about @stan, he sounds cool. I'll check him out.
