I think I'll talk about something a little more... thought-invoking. And yes, I'm using the two little genderless raceless things to do this for me.

| So, ever since we studied the Scientific Revolution in school, I've wondered about this. And I don't think I'm the only one who does so. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| In the Scientific Revolution, everything people believed as fact "because science says so" was turned completely upside-down. They were told that the Earth orbits the sun, that the world was round. | |
| | |
|

|
I don't feel a background is necessary for this.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| They were left not knowing what to believe, what they had been taught was absolute truth their whole life, or what was being argued and the mathematical equations they probably didn't understand | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| which were telling them that all they knew was wrong. Well, not everything, but they thought they were the center of the universe, and suddenly they're a speck among billions. Today we have proof, | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
We have mathematic equations that show without a doubt that these things are true. And they've been tried a million times, and I'm not very good with math or words, but to put it simply, what if...
|
|
|
|
| | |
| ...we're wrong? I mean, not neccessarily about positioning of planets, but of really... anything that we've taken for granted to be true because our teachers said so? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| I just find it scary that anything I think about and just accept as fact is fallible. I don't know, this is probably illogical, and Dave-o will send me a very long message about this, but I don't care | |
