Wednesday Weirdness Roundup: Massacre Conspiracy Theories
One of the most troubling things about wonky conspiracy theories is that they can, and do, have real-world impact.

Long before there were commercial jet flights, observers on the ground were curious - and sometimes concerned - about the vapour trails that materialized behind planes. They are still being studied today. In this post, we'll look at some of the most frequently-asked questions about contrails. Why do some contrails persist while others rapidly fade?...
