o said and I don't know what the fake doctor — not trusting is getting the vax. Getting the vax is trusting. Is it? So you would trust the COVID because remember it's not just trusting people it's also trusting a virus. So you would have to trust your own understanding of the long-term impact of the virus. I don't trust that. Why would you trust your own opinion of the long-term impact of long COV…

r your — someday you'll feel embarrassed about it. You ready? This is in the category of someday you'll be embarrassed if you held the following belief. Have you seen all the reports from pilots who say not only did they all see these tic-tac-shaped UFOs but they can confirm from the sensors in their airplane — their what Jack — they can confirm from sensor readings that it defied the laws of physics by a lot. You know we're not talking 10 percent more than the laws of physics. We're like completely violated the laws of physics. Foreign they're screaming this didn't happen. Do you really think there's something flying around that's defying the laws of physics? Really, really?

Now I'm not going to say it's impossible right because anything's possible. Anything's possible. But if you're believing that these ships defied the laws of gravity and that later you're going to find out they were real I'm sorry that would be the worst assumption you ever made. The moment somebody says the one thing we're sure of is it defied the laws of gravity here's the one thing I'm sure of. It was something about the sensors and we're done. And we're done. It was just something about the sensors. I don't know what it was. I mean it's a fun mystery but I'll tell you what it wasn't. It wasn't ships violating the laws of physics. Someday when you find out there was nothing violating the laws of physics you're going to say to yourself — mark my words someday you're going to say to yourself okay I should have seen that. Because so far the track record of mysterious things that violate the law of physics I think is zero for a million. I think it's zero for a million. So far nothing except weird little things in a lab and even they don't really violate it. You know even the principle of non-locality probably doesn't violate physics. We just need a little better understanding of some stuff. Yes the laws of physics are what we know not what we don't know. But you don't think a lot of claims have been made in the past that also violated the laws of physics and have any of them turned out to be true? No. Zero. All you have to do is research perpetual motion inventions. There's like a whole history of perpetual motion inventions which violate the laws of physics. So far zero. Zero of them are true. They're all fake. Yeah Google it. Cold fusion exactly. Yeah cold fusion which I think is perpetual motion. Yeah I was throwing cold fusion into perpetual motion but isn't technically not I guess. You've rejected the five laws of thermodynamics? Well that's bold. That's bold.

All right. Physics and battery storage. Well if you're arguing that people said that the law of physics would prevent

us from inventing something then we do have a history of inventing past the law of physics would you agree? For inventions we do have a history of inventing past physics. True or false? And basically all we learned is that we didn't understand physics well enough. But you say false. I'm seeing you're false on that because aren't there examples where people believed for example that I don't know ch…
