    More conspiracy theories are not at all.   They are truths denied by authorities, to stop us becoming intrigued; and then investigating further.

A very astute remark indeed. This multiple-direction shadow phenomenon is not observable on any other Apollo 17 photographs, so the 'lunar surface secondary illumination' explanation given by kwilco is invalid. Which leaves his other explanation: secondary illumination on spacesuits:

  

 

For this to be a valid take, there would have to be two astronauts with Schmitt outside the frame of the picture, in order to create a secondary illumination coming both from the right and the left. Only problem with this reasoning: Schmitt was accompanied by Eugene Cernan only when he took pictures of the lunar surface, as Ronald Evans officially remained in the module. The plot thickens…

You keep diggin' that hole... LOL.

 

The folks who recruited, managed, motivated and policed the many thousands of co-conspirators couldn't manage to create a better fake photo...... You're in possession of the weakest reasoning ability I've ever encountered.

Science has an answer for everything, gamb00ler. Your inability to produce an explanation is noted – I had greater expectations of you, but it is what it is…

 

kwilco will, without a doubt, help us settle this one. Did you know he has a higher education?

How do I know kwilco has a higher education? Because he makes sure we are reminded of it every second post. And why would he not? It is, after all, an extraordinary feat which puts him in a different league. The forum really should have a special badge for edjoocated people, like a golden scroll or something similar.

Sir! I am not, and never have been a medical doctor. 

 

If I had my time again, I would have gone into alt medicine after qualifying as a physiologist. Too late now. Have to get people to see the light on the internet, until my book comes out next year. Want a signed copy Trans?

In your case, you believe more science fiction than the most prolific authors have ever written.

When I'm old, drooling and senile perhaps a debate with a record player that is stuck in one groove will be entertaining.... until then I'll pass, and I"m sure the Pontiac guy will too.

Quite the contrary, I know B-grade science-fiction when I see it:

By the way, I have pieces of Moon for sale at a good price if you're interested.

Professor R. Foster said in 1965 that the Moon was a plasma body. It certainly matches the real footage taken of it.

 


Real Moon, no CGI or enhancements:

Science and pseudoscience aren’t opposites of opinion—they’re opposites of method. The scientific method is built on scepticism, testing, replication, and revision: conclusions are provisional and change when better evidence appears.

 

Pseudoscience, as used by conspiracy theorists, works in reverse — it starts with a fixed belief, hunts selectively for supporting scraps, and treats any contradictory evidence as proof of a cover-up. Where science asks, “What would prove me wrong?”, pseudoscience demands a final, unchanging answer and calls it “truth”. (as it does in the movie above). Science evolves because it’s self-correcting; conspiracies don’t because belief is emotionally invested and immune to evidence.

 

If you'd read the scientific method, you wouldn't need to ask.......

Let's go back to the shadow question, which remains unanswered. The information below challenges the premise outlined above. It is a specific, rational question and therefore only a specific, rational answer can disprove it and its implications.

I say jail them. At least they'll stop asking inconvenient questions.

How about Trump shooting? Any conspiracy there ? Do not even remember the name of the shooter, and know very little at all. Nothing in media either, except the trail coming up soon I think I saw some headlines last week. 

 

How about his ear healing so quick?

Definitely an op, in my opinion. It was brilliant in the sense that by leveraging people's compulsive antagonism towards Trump, just like that, 90% of normies became conspiracy theorists.
