Autistic Teen Had A Special 19th Birthday

Halle had a great birthday this year.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – After spending her 18th birthday alone, a young teen suffering from autism, Hallee  Sorenson, had a 19th birthday which she will never forget.

After her cousin, Rebecca Guildford from Oxford posted a photo on Facebook with Hallee sitting alone last year waiting for her friends to come, many people were touched by the girl’s story and decided to bring their contribution so she will never feel alone this year as well.

This month, on June 8th, Rebecca posted Hallee’s story online writing that she had been looking forward to her friends coming to her bowling party. Despite the fact that she had sent invitations to her classmates, no one attended her birthday event.

Rebecca described her cousin as a beautiful young woman with the mind of a child, who was heartbroken because no one wanted to spend some time with her and play bowling. Especially when you are young, it is so sad to spend your birthday alone.

No kid or teenager deserves to spend a birthday alone. Therefore, Rebecca promised to herself that Halle will never be alone at her birthday again. Thanks to her efforts, Hallee had her mailbox filled with over 10,000 greeting cards this year. It is also worth mentioning that Rebecca wrote in her post that her cousin loves receiving mail.

After writing an address from Bangor, Maine, the post had been shared more than 230,000 times, and Hallee got countless of birthday greeting cards from many people who wanted to make the girl’s birthday a little more special.

Hallee received birthday greeting cards from the state of Ohio, football quarterback John Elway, Washington Redskins football team, and the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

Despite the fact that Rebecca mentioned that they Halle’s family politely declined to receive birthdays gifts, she received many other presents such as teddy bears, CDs from every corner of the world and flowers.

Furthermore, Hallee also got a NASA Barbie from a woman working at the Kennedy Space Center, and greeting cards from the Maine Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police and an Afghanistan-deployed soldier.

Moreover, there is also a Facebook page called Hallee’s 19th Birthday created by her mother, Allyson. The girl is still receiving a lot of posts, birthday cards and presents. All in all, her cousin kept her promise and made sure that Hallee would have a great birthday.

How Long Do Conspiracy Theories Last?

January 27, 2016 By Melissa Gansler Leave a Comment

"conspiracy theory"

(Mirror Daily, United States) – Math and statistics were able to answer a very interesting question of our age: how long do conspiracy theories last? A team of researchers delved into the matter and sought to measure how long it would take for such a theory to be either revealed or debunked. It was found it depends on a series of factors.

The research team was led by Dr. David Grimes, a post-doctoral physicist at Oxford University. Grimes claims that he was able to come up with a formula that showed how long it would take for a conspiracy theory to be either uncovered or dismissed. According to the researcher, however, he did not take the side opposed to conspiracy theories, as some would assume. Instead, he took a different approach. He focused on how such theories would be possible.

Dr. Grimes took three factors into consideration by answering a simple question. What could decide the fate of a conspiracy theory? The total number of people involved, the amount of time since the event actually happened, and the intrinsic likelihood of the theory’s ultimate failure. These were carefully taken into account, using the “the same mathematical methods” that he used for his academic research on radiation physics.

For example, for a plot to last 5 years, the maximum of people involved would be around 2,500, and for it to last 10 years, there could be no more than 1,000 people in the loop. For long questionable lies to last 100 years, there would have to be no more than 125 collaborators involved in the plot. If the numbers exceeded the limit, the secret would be out sooner or later. One way or another, someone would’ve revealed the truth, be it by accident or on purpose.

The premise stands to reason: the more people involved, the lesser the chances of something remaining a secret.

The researcher took four famous conspiracy theories as samples: the “fake” Moon landing, climate change allegedly being a fraud, vaccines causing autism, and the theory that pharmaceutical companies already have a cure for cancer that they do not disclose to the public. These are conspiracy theories that have had numerous people debating along the years. Chances are that everyone has heard of them at one point, and may have even discussed their likelihood.

However, Grimes’ formula found that if either of those were true, they would’ve been proven by now. The “fake” Moon landing for example had an estimated of 411,000 people involved. If the conspiracy theory were true and the entire thing was a hoax, it would have been revealed in 3.7 years. The same went with the rest of the three alleged schemes.

The climate change fraud conspiracy theory would last between 3.7 to 26.8 years, the vaccines causing autism possibility in 3.2 to 34.8 years, and the possibility of a hidden cure for cancer just 3.2 years. If there was any validity to either of them, the public would’ve known by now, simply because someone would’ve spilled the beans.

This was a first of its kind research, published in a recent edition of the esteemed PLOS One journal that might just add enough weight to Grimes’ research to be believable. If it’s true, it means most conspiracy theories can be measured, and we can know how long they would last before the truth came out.
