R.P. Feynman (UFO’s video text)
Some years ago I had a conversation with a layman about flying saucers — because I am scientific I know all about flying saucers!
I said "I don't think there are flying saucers'.
So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?"
"No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely".
At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?"
But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible. To define what I mean, I might have said to him,
"Listen, I mean that from my knowledge of the world that I see around me, I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence."
It is just more likely. That is all.
