You wanted to explore the world.
You went to all the different areas, just to explore. From the most famous areas like New York's time square, to the most boring, like the middle of Wyoming.
(Stay with me, it gets better)
During your travels you find, quite by accident, a room. In that room is the secret to bending space and time. You try it, and it works! No, it's not an analogy, you can quite literally, change time and space.
You look around the room and there is evidence that others have been here before you. Though you don't know when. There is also no reason others could not come here later.
So, being very excited, you tell your friends.
But they don't believe such a room can exist. So they won't bother to go.
Others say it might exist, but they are too busy right now.
You search for people to tell this great discovery.
You find some have been there, but have given up telling others.
Many more have claimed to be in this room, but when when you talk to them you realize, no they haven't, and they are just saying so to get attention.
Rarely, you do find someone who has been there and knows the secret. But they keep it to themselves, perhaps from going through your same experiance.
I can't share it with my family because they don't believe in it. Those who have not been there, don't believe it exists. And you can not show a person this room by force. I can demonstrate the ability to anyone but they either pass it off a luck, coincidence or unexplainable.
I'm sure there will be some sort of magic that prevents people who don't already believe from seeing the room in pictures or video. Religions always have an escape clause that let them ignore the normal rules of evidence.
The correct answer here is that you're mistaken. If you think you have amazing superpowers but can't convince anyone else, the most likely explanation is that they're not all that amazing to anyone but you. Could be you find something special about them that no one else does, or it could be the powers don't exist at all but you've tricked yourself into believing after all. But even in comic books superheros have to work to hide their powers and live a normal life. Your idea that you've run across the biggest discovery in the history of humanity but no one believes you is something from a conspiracy theory, but anything that would happen in real life.
What if you go to the room, but don't accept the experience at face value. You investigate the room and realize it is all an illusion, nothing more than a magic trick, a mis-perception. It doesn't really alter space/time. You invite others who have been to the room to go back and take a critical look at the experience, but they refuse to do it, because they really want to believe in the magic, that the room really does bend space/time.
What I don't understand is why you think Wyoming is boring and NYC isn't?
What would I do? Nothing. If folks want to explore they can make their own discovery. If they won't explore they don't make it, it is their loss and I see absolutely no reason to get into arguments I won't win.

So why do you think the room demonstrates the secret of bending space and time? What kind of convincing evidence did you find?

I suspect "nothing" is an exaggeration . . . given your posts. GP. You would more likely tell them of its existence, describe the way to get there and leave the rest up to them. It will be insufficient . . . because they will demand proof for what they would consider "too much trouble to determine for themselves."
