Yes.
:58:10
It means the simplest explanation
generally tends to be the right one.

:58:15
Exactly.
:58:16
You tell me.
What is more likely here?

:58:19
A message from aliens
results in a magical machine...

:58:22
...that whisks you
to the center of the galaxy...

:58:25
...to windsurf with Dad
and a split second later...

:58:28
...returns you home
without a single shred of proof?

:58:32
Or that your experience
is the result of being...

:58:35
...the unwitting star
in the farewell performance of one...

:58:39
...S.R. Hadden?
:58:40
A man with the means and motive
to play you and all of us...

:58:44
...as pawns in the most elaborate,
most expensive hoax of all time?

:58:53
You come to us with no evidence,
no records...

:58:57
...no artifacts--
:58:59
...only a story that, to put it mildly,
strains credibility.

:59:04
Over half a trillion dollars were spent.
:59:07
Dozens of lives were lost.
:59:11
Are you going to sit there and
tell us we should just take this all...

:59:16
...on faith?
:59:21
Please answer the question, Doctor.
:59:27
Is it possible that it didn't happen?
:59:29
Yes.
:59:33
As a scientist I must concede that.
I must volunteer that.

:59:40
Let me get this straight.
:59:42
You admit you have no physical
evidence to back up your story?

:59:46
Yes.
:59:47
You admit you may have
hallucinated this whole thing?

:59:51
You admit if you were
in our position...

:59:54
...you would be as incredulous
and skeptical as we?

:59:58
Then why don't you simply withdraw
your testimony and concede...
