MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT SPACE THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE with Eloise Kitson
Scientists haven’t always gotten everything right. In fact, when you look at the long history of science, they have gotten more things wrong than they have right.
Even our understanding of science today could be talked about in a future talk on what we got wrong. But for now, let’s focus on the past.
Navigate the sometimes-strange ideas about what fuels stars, what is space, why do planets orbit the sun and what is out there.
If you learn anything from this talk it should be not to believe a single hypothesis mentioned because they are all misconceptions about space.
