It’s likely this isn’t the only conspiracy theory he believes in. Time for you to find better friends,.

Yes. If the sun was orange, the light would be orange, and everything white would be orange.
The fact that your friend believes the sun was replaced by a giant LED is a sign they should not be your friend anymore

They didn’t replace the sun that would be impossible
They replaced the sky which obviously uses LED imagine trying to run a panel of halogens that big

Your friend is either trolling you or a complete idiot.

I’d assume trolling

No, there’s actual people like that. The guy I mentioned in my comment came into work one day, claiming that the moon makes its own light. I once asked him if he had heard of the Stargate series. He paused, looked me dead in the eye, and said, super seriously, “yes and Stargates are real.”
There are people that honestly believe this shit. The only thing is now they have the internet to convince each other that it’s all real.

Well they are real, they used them in the series.
They don’t make you teleport though, that’s just special effects.

Has he written his congresspeople about the need to increase defense spending because of the threat of the Goa’uld?

The nature of reality is such that you can believe a very silly thing and have it impact your life in no meaningful way. People have been wrong about the nature of the universe for millennia and continued to get by. The oddball who believes in native moonlight and stargates isn’t going to benefit tangibly for being correct or suffer tangibly for his misbelief. In many cases - thanks to the proliferation of internet subcommunity echo-chambers - they may actually suffer (socially) for reconciling their beliefs with reality if they can’t bring their friends along for the ride.
But, again, when they have extremely limited influence over their surroundings (this guy is not, presumably, running an astronomy lab or charged with funding improvements to municipal mass transit) their zany beliefs don’t really matter.

Stargates are real.

Ok but hear me out. I get laughed at for this, but I do think the moon is pretty hollow. The Apollo astronauts are on record saying it rang like a bell when they landed on it.
I dont think its that crazy that the moon is very cavernous and hollow compared to earth. Now, aliens dont live inside it I dont think, but thats another theory haha!

No. I know people like this irl.
Not the exact belief, but insane nonetheless. Usually they get all their news from fb and xitter. And theyre always smarter than scientists despite not finishing hs or college (not that one needs to do those things to be smart, but just saying as a rule…)

I stand by my previous statement. They are either trolling you or complete idiots.
