Transcript

00:00Einstein came up with his relativity theory and there was this huge book published against him.

00:07Hundred authors against Einstein.

00:10And he came up with a really smart one.

00:11He said, if I were false, even one would have been enough.

00:19Why hundred?

00:21And that's the thing with facts.

00:23If a fact is proven to be untrue even once, it loses its status and it is publicly available to be tested and denied.

00:37You can test it.

00:38You can deny it.

00:39It is always in the public domain.

00:42You do not accept something as a fact just because somebody in authority proclaimed it to be.

00:49I believe in a flat earth because that's what my religious book says.

00:55Then you would leave me alone.

00:58And you would say, you know, it's a matter of faith and I respect all faiths.

01:03No, this is nonsensical.

01:05That's not the process by which somebody attains the status of a fact.
