Facts Still Dont Slow Down Conspiracy Theories

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”

“False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.”

“It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is. It doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.”

“With the truth, all given facts harmonize; but with what is false, the truth soon hits a wrong note.”

“Even things that are true can be proved.”

“And thus, the actions of life often not allowing any delay, it is a truth very certain that, when it is not in our power to determine the most true opinions we ought to follow the most probable.”
