I made a hypothesis, a ridiculous hypothesis.

A specious or false premise.

So let's say that this block right over here is a whole.

And I were to eat one of them.

Suppose that a lesser human being...

Now, suppose I'm a bandit.

And suppose there's a galaxy out here in the universe.

Suppose we approximated one person with one book?

Suppose you were deciding the justice of this case.

AG Okay, hypothesis two.

And this is, again, one of those assumptions the way car seats are an assumption that we've inherited in governments, and doors.

And the other interesting thing is that they're using that evidence to get to an idea, get to a hypothesis about the world, that seems very unlikely to begin with.

This is just a hypothesis.

I remember I used to play a game, a game of pretend.

AG Okay, that's a fourth hypothesis.

Let's test this assumption by heading over to Eastern Europe.

The basic law, let's say here's an assumption.

Let's assume, for example, that the first case occurs in South Asia.

A new prosthetic workshop is being opened in Dohuk governorate.

The other assumption that you made and this little lesson is to show you that you will make assumptions.

So what scientists do is they have a hypothesis that they think might be likely to start with.

Alison Gopnik Okay, so his first hypothesis has just been falsified.

It assumes that people are looking out for what's good for them.

Let's say you're passionately in love with a woman.

Shall we make a compromise?

A. Assuming the decision to create a new programme is taken in an even numbered year

Everyone needs to understand what is assumed and what is not assumed.

So next, the scientific method an axiom of physics, of all science says you cannot prove a hypothesis through observation, you can only disprove it.

Confident that you gentlemen would go along with them... on the assumption the evil assumption that all Negroes lie, all Negroes are basically immoral beings, all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women.

This led me, as a behavioral economist, to an intriguing hypothesis.

AG Okay,there's his fifth hypothesis.

Suppose this man had nothing to do.

That is certainly the assumption on which the London market has been built and the line that successive governments have peddled. But it is coming under fire.

Suppose you see a teapot, and the teapot is filled with hot water.

But imagine someone who's not very popular moves through the room.

Let's see.

Which of these hypotheses can be true?

So let's say in Florida that candidate, I should say, gets 49 of the vote.

What this means is you can gather more and more data around a hypothesis or a positioning, and it will strengthen it, but it will not conclusively prove it.

What they were doing was returning the favor, by giving us a hypothesis to test, in biology, that we wouldn't have thought of.

Suppose he does.

Suppose you had to do something... you had to go someplace... and do this thing that was... you knew it was very dangerous.

But how am I going to how am I going to deal with that hypothesis?

So imagine let's suppose we're doing it.

Now with anger, you've got two people on an even playing field.
