Debunked: 15 Popular Conspiracy Theory Claims

2. Tupac Is Not Dead

 


As Tupac Shakur became more and more famous, he seemed to find more and more trouble. As tensions grew between East and West Coast rappers, his fame became dangerous. On September 7, 1996, Shakur was gunned down in his car in Vegas. Lovers of the rapper believe that his death was actually an elaborate hoax created so that he could escape down to Cuba for a safe and quiet retirement. Believers claim that Shakur always wore a bulletproof vest to prevent an incident like the one that occurred. The shooter has also never been found. The man who supposedly cremated his body also immediately retired. While no one knows why he continues to hide, fans allege that he is alive and well in Cuba. Some even claim that they have caught him on video. Unfortunately, no concrete evidence has been presented to indicate that Tupac is still alive.

1. The Earth Is Flat


Evidence that the Earth is round can be traced back as far as Aristotle in 330 BC. Despite centuries of evidence, there are people today that still believe that the earth is flat. In 1956, the International Flat Earth Research Society was founded in order to attempt to reach school children before they learned the Earth was round. The movement began to get some traction but the space race of the late 1960s detracted support. At its peak, the group had over 3,000 members. However, by the 1990s, membership began to decline following a fire at the group’s headquarters in California. In 2004, the group was revived through a website. Now there are even online communities that promote the idea that the Earth is flat, un-moving, and the center of the universe. This theory has been disproved through pictures of the Earth from space, scientific data about the Earth’s rotation, and years of research.
