c. The mathematical moron perennially boasts that science is what you prove with an experiment. Here he has a chance to put his money where his mouth is. If someone alleges that a leprechaunexists, before the jurors can verify his claim, they need to visualize the object. The first requirement a prosecutor of a theory has is to produce a picture, a photograph, or a sculpture of the leprechaun. How else will the skeptic test the theory in the lab? The prosecutor may ask the Court to describe the leprechaun instead of presenting him, and allege that it is just a little man with green dress and a pot of gold. Unfortunately, this doesn’t cut it in Science. In Science, there is a bare minimum test or experiment for an object, and that is to draw or produce it. The prosecutor should be prepared to treat a juror as if he were a neophyte (i.e., an ET). The prosecutor must point and name. Before we can get to descriptions, concepts, or definitions, we must teach the ET the nouns. If the prosecutor alleges that a leprechaun exists, as a minimum he should be able to illustrate the main exhibit of his case. The problem with string theory is that the mathematician cannot point to a 0-thickness string on the blackboard, let alone in space.
