Here are some of the biggest conspiracy theories around today:
1) Dark Energy - Many scientists have 'asserted' that a thing they call "Dark Energy" makes up 68% of the 'known' Universe and is the cause of the expansion of space. This "energy" has never been observed. It is a CONSPIRACY THEORY. ;-)
2) Dark Matter - Many scientists have 'asserted' that a thing they call "Dark Matter" makes up 27% of the 'known' Universe and is the cause of the formation of galaxies. This "matter" has never been observed. It is a CONSPIRACY THEORY. ;-)
3) Quantum Entanglement - Many scientists have 'asserted' that a thing they call "Quantum Entanglement" exists. When two or more particles link up in a certain way, no matter how far apart they are in space, their states remain linked. That means they share a common, unified quantum state. This has never been demonstrated across a space greater than a few meters. It is a CONSPIRACY THEORY. ;-)

Albert is an agnostic, BTW.

Because they were essentially created because of scientists' discomfort with the way that various elementary field strengths and thigs like the mass of the electron seemed geared towards the creation of "stuff", including life. So, they developed this theory that there are an infinite number of universes, with the settings on field strengths and masses at various levels. That way, they can say there is nothing special about our universe in particular.
But the intriguing thing to me is that if there are really an infinity of universes, where literally anything and everything can and will happen, then there is a universe where a God created everything. There must be if there are infinite possibilities, right?
This would seem to defeat the whole purpose of proposing the multiverse in the first place.
Including the process of developing the theories. A few years back after listening to a talk given by theoretical physicist James Gates on his discovery of what he described as "error-correcting code" (or "Shannon coding") in the prevailing mathematical models of the universe based on string theory, my interest in general topic of mathematics as "the language of the universe" was piqued. So I started to read Max Tegmark's book "Our Mathematical Universe." It was kind of eye-opening for me to learn that concepts of things like "dark energy" are often developed simply because the "math" of existing models isn't adding up. In the case of "dark energy," the prevailing theories were exposed as being sharply out-of-step mathematically with power-spectrum measurements for the universe revealed by the most advanced technology (microwave telescopes). The "cosmic-matter budget" (Tegmark's term) was so far off in the existing models that they could only account for 32% of the universe's measured density with "ordinary matter" (5%) and "dark matter" (27%). So the scientific community "imagined" the existence of an invisible, undetected "energy" to account for the remaining 68% of the universe in order to make the math work. That is "dark energy" (at least as understood by physicists in 2015 -- I'm not really much of a science guy, so there may have been more concrete developments since then). I just found the whole thing pretty interesting.
This is all very interesting stuff. I wish I had the capability to understand it all more completely.

...assert that the Lab Leak Theory is a conspiracy theory to these other theories. (i.e lack of evidence or substantial evidence automatically makes them a conspiracy theory)

This way you won’t continue these asinine posts.
