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.
