Impossible Claim?

" And now this. Well all right an asteroid striking -- millions of years ago creating a huge -- bowl. Wiping out the dinosaur. What if I told him it never happened never happened the dinosaurs never -- that still exist today. Amid a little White House's thinking this could create any scenario to tell you save something on just saved the -- Doctor -- also all of the physics of the impossible professor welcome good to see against. Glad to be on the show -- is just a theory that was not yes Kelly -- dinosaur up or citing the dinosaurs is just a theory like. The theory of I saved a million jobs well."

" You know there are alive there are damn lies and then there is that the stakes. A strong stuff -- the statistics of the way to quantify your ignorance. But when it comes to the dinosaurs however in a court of law I think you'll be a slam dunk case. You know in a court of law you need the smoking gun that is the bullet he needed dead -- yeah we have all three when it comes from dinosaurs but you -- when I don't think Doug formation if you wanna. I'm -- my theory is wrong with that dinosaurs no longer exist that they were killed by meteorites is just the theory didn't like it. We have the smoking gun being the iridium that exists indicate he -- right underneath our feet. We have the bullet we -- actual fragments fragments on the Astro Derek comet they'll be dredged from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. And there we have been dead body we have all these guys are abounds that died just. Just when the impact on place that's not but we're not proven so it but for me it's slam dunk that you are applying the scientific method and if you apply the scientific method to the concept of saving a million jobs. It doesn't look does it you have to be very powerful I mean blow hard politicians are very self serving and they sort of poll numbers right out of to have like a magician. So the criterion that economists use is quite different from the criteria that we physicists use. We want to verify ability we want to reproduce ability we want accountability. And is -- this six you don't find any of that you can't prove a negative Kenya. You can't prove that jobs -- not lost. But site. Can't prove it investors like proven oil reserves the right everyone says we know how much oil there is in the ground big as well. He does interviewed the oil minister of a country. Yeah well. And lo and behold it turns out he's proven oil reserves. Are just made up. -- by these oil minister is that unfortunately a lot of economist at the same thing I think you know Neil -- very well this is normally his his fountain and none of that threat and you know with the Neal likes his condolences you know that that's -- I think we're gonna put a picture almost read any second now so you'll going to debunk the theory. That if I do not eat those canola is the doll magically go to appear on the screen. I will lose weight because I saved those calories he gonna -- fifth. Well it turns out when it comes to job this pretty -- allow that I put my face -- to look up at all. Okay debunk the -- place well look at the people who are not even counted in the statistics people that adds a -- looking for a job as people that is not our even. Not even counted by by the statisticians. And a lot of these jobs or make work so that if you don't -- had a job then something is wrong way to the mighty wind up after all right that's a very good question. Objective scientist professor -- thanks for joining us published my pleasure."
