if you have a 64-bit version of Windows (which you almost certainly do if you're using anything newer than Windows 7), this is what you want to download and install:

If, by chance, you are using an old 32-bit machine, which is unlikely, then go with this:

https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.16/win32/vlc-3.0.16-win32.exe

Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.  Now, you simply declare your own truth.
