A '''conspiracy theory''' is a belief, held by a significant segment of society, that is wildly at odds with accepted wisdom, evidence, and logic.  For the bulk of society not to accept such a belief requires that society must be engaged in some kind of conspiracy to cover up the truth; hence the term "conspiracy theory".
