10 Hilariously Stupid Conspiracy Theories (That People Actually Believe)

5. Scientists Don't Want You To Know Our Earth Is Hollow

A few centuries ago, it's understandable that a lot of people had some strange (see: Wrong) ideas about our very own planet. These days though, we've just about nailed down the idea that it probably isn't flat. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Earth is actually hollow, able to be accessed using an entrance at the South Pole.

Why anyone would even get this idea in the first place is a mystery in itself, but apparently it's a secret that NASA and multiple governments have been trying to keep from us for centuries. Of course, if it were hollow, then everything we know about gravity and physics is wrong. Also, you'd think someone might have noticed a dirty great hole on the bottom of the world by now.
