Hi All,
At times I've come across some interesting cases of sheer ignorance. What people were led to believe in the past compared to what we now know.
I'm interested what forum members can enlighten us with on this subject.
What have you found that made you laugh or cry, how wrong a concept may have been.
This process to what we now know in science is progress ofcourse.
My input is about the sun.
Early "scientists" put forward that the sun must be made of coal.
To burn like it does, people had no other answer. Fission and fusion was not known until relatively recently.
At the rate coal burnt it would not have lasted 10,000 years.
Waiting for your input.
Cheers Marty
