00:06100 authors against Einstein.

00:09He said, if I were false, even one would have been enough.
00:12Why 100?

00:21And it is publicly available to be tested and denied.
00:25You can test it.
00:25You can deny it.
00:26It is always in the public domain.
00:28You do not accept something as a fact just because somebody in authority proclaimed it to be.
00:34I believe in a flat earth because that's what my religious book says.
