What he's using is photoreading... look it up, its actually real my physics teacher taught me how to do it
-
He did a mind trick to get the person open on the page he wants to. For a clue on how he does it listen and watch the numbers that appear. When the clip starts there is a picture of the library clock tower pointing at 10 o'clock. Then he talks with the person that there are about 16 million books in the library. What page does he open the book at? 1016.

Any example you come up with regarding from something that has or hasn't happened in the past is invalid. We are only discussing things that may happen in the future.

Its still impossible for science to disprove something. Also, I provided an extreme example that has nothing to do with photo reading. Your examples also had nothing to do with photo reading.

Now, I am not saying everything is impossible nor am I saying I believe everything is possible. I am merely stating science cannot possibly disprove something. That's because science would have to account for every possible approach to something and get 100% conflicting data with absolutely no error. Even if you did 10 trillion experiences with .0000001% error, there is still a SMALL probability all the experiments were wrong. So again, science cannot disprove anything.

Sure, it took years of work to implement. However, when the first individual came up with the idea of getting something heavier than air to float in the air and to have a person inside of it controlling it, people (including scientists) though he was absolutely insane. When someone came up with the idea of transmitting images across the globe in a matter of seconds (television), people thought he was absolutely insane.

It may be possible to produce some sort of good (ex: medication, etc...) that can prolong a humans artificial life to forever (Making only outside circumstances like a nuclear explosion or car accident cause death). Is it likely this is possible? Probably not. However, science hasn't disproven this as a possibility and it wouldn't be possible to do so.

Moreover, I don't know what you mean by de-evolve, but I presume you are discussing either developing unwanted traits (Which would actually land under evolution) or you are discussing living creatures losing new traits they attained sometime over evolution. Deevolution is an aspect of evolution, and all living organisms experience it. However, over time, living creatures tend to keep more of the positive trait changes in evolution. And devolution traits typically don't last.

the future the Earth may be perfectly round. For another instant in time in the way way future its possible the Earth could be completely flat.
The Earth is predicted to be 4.55 billion years old. Compared to human life spans, the Earth is old. However, the Universe is predicted to have been created 12-15 billion years ago. When comparing the Earth's age to the age of the Universe, the Earth isn't very old. Whether or not the Earth is old is based on perception.

The earth is not round. Isaac Newton was the closes individual to guess the Earth's shape when he predicted it was an oblate spheroid. However, the Earth has bumps in it since its mass isn't perfectly uniformly concentrated. In addition, as the Earth's crust is decompressed as the weight of the oceans, ice sheets, and atmosphere change which causes something called polar wander. Nobody knows the Earth's precise shape, since the shape is constantly. changing. At one instant some time in
I might be mistaken, but I don't think they ever say that the guy actually works specifically at the British Library, only that he is a librarian. Although that's what I would assume intuitively as well.
This doesn't really prove he isn't a stooge, I just don't think that it proves that he is one eitehr.

This is a speedreading technique often performed by Derren Brown. The unconsious mind is observing any information in any books through this kind of photoreading. You can recall this memory later using this technique correctly. Actually anyone can do it:) Derren Brown rules btw=)
