So then I can claim that Einstein's theories are wrong and also claim that Einstein didn't exist and claim that I don't understand math and physics and you would believe me. Is that correct? If so, then Einstein's theories are wrong because I say so. So that makes me right.
No, Ringo said refute; not claim.
The point being that if I am talking with Einstein and he claims that the earth is flat, I don't have to understand Einstein's theories or any other science for that matter to prove him wrong. We just have to take a trip around the world. When we don't fall off, I have disproven his claim. We probably don't even need to go around the world.
