Word of the Day - Conspiracy

There is a difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy:
A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

Conspiracy theory:
A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that asserts the existence of a conspiracy by powerful and sinister groups, often political in motivation,[3][4][5] when other explanations are more probable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory

That said, it doesn't mean that some ideas that were dubbed conspiracy theories haven't been proved to be true.

Fun, huh?
