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 phys…

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 chips could get faster, batteries couldn't store more than X. Weren't there a whole bunch of assumptions that were just bad assumptions and it turns out that if you were clever there were workarounds but the workarounds did not violate physics. The workarounds just showed us that our understanding of physics were maybe limiting what we saw as possibilities but I think the workarounds didn't violate physics. They just clarified it or something. I don't know. I'm talking without examples.

So the UFO story could be real. Could be. But as soon as I see the sensors say it's violating physics I'm like no I'm sorry.

Yeah quantum entanglement shows that space and time are not what we think. That's true. That's true.

All right Club Birds I'm going to say goodbye to all the Club Birds over here. Cope. And I'm going to talk to the Locals people and I'll see you tomorrow. Bye for now.
