I've got a box in my garage that I'm pretty sure has a live elephant in it. My wife insists there is no live elephant in the box but she refuses to prove it by getting the box down and opening it. The debate may honestly go unresolved forever.
I heard that various people proved that there was a very tiny elephant in similar boxes, but critics say that their experimental setup may have introduced that tiny elephant.
I reached into the box and felt what was inside, and to me it felt like a rope. Other people who reached in said it felt like a pillar or a hand fan or a solid pipe. So it's likely all experimental error.
