Apollo's Law

Any Internet discussion on a topic relating to Outer Space or Space Exploration which goes on for long enough will eventually lead to someone saying that Space exploration or Space itself is a lie/hoax.

This usually refers to Flat Earthers who don't believe that Outer space exists yet this isn't exclusive to them as some people do believe that space exists but that missions have only reached Earth orbit and not to the Moon or the other planets.
"Oh great, Another Flat Earther in the replies of a NASA tweet, Apollo's Law strikes again!"

Barnham's Law

A law dealing with attempts to fix things that states: "If one tries to fix something long enough, one will eventually either fix the problem or render it unfixable."
I tried to fix my scratched halo 3 disc and after a while I ended up cracking it. Therefore, I have arrived at the second possible outcome of Barnham's law.

law of aviation

there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.

The bee, of course, flies anyway

because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
