Fascinating (Score: 1) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-10-21 14:38 (#2TJ8) I've been paying closer attention to other fields of science recently, and wasn't aware of any of this stuff, so I find it endlessly fascinating. Every generation, I think, is willing to laugh at the false theories that previous generations accepted as fact before eventually finding there was a better explanation, without taking the time to wonder how many of their "facts" will eventually be overturned by future scientists looking for more accurate explanations.That this stuff is happening - in the USA, at least - despite a culture increasingly hostile to the "educated elite" and whatever other impolite names the likes of Sarah Palin came up with for people who like science - is even more fascinating. Kudos to the boffins!

G. Wells's 1895 novel The Time Machine.Nice one. Too bad your graphic didn't embed, though. Having run a forum (gotonicaragua.com) that had bots embedding graphic ads into their spam posts, I can see why it isnt permitted though!
