It was only a matter of time before Copernicus and Galileo would be called into question. The current political correctness in science circles is sure to bring back Ptoelmaic earth-centric cosmolgy since it had the [b]weight [/b] of authority -including even that of the Church. [When there is consensus in science, be suspicious.]
@LamontCranston Are you stating that we live on a huge moving ball? If so, how did you come to that conclusion on your own? Or are you just believing what you were taught as a child?
@LamontCranston What made Science to be, (to give some few but significative provisory answers, not enough but still far better than thousands of years of nonsense) is to refuse to be defined by knowledge (a result) but by it´s object (so known as if not). That qualifies consensus. If it is based on a "worldview" apriori from the factual, it use to be crap. If is a convergence of the scientific community with facts, it may be useful even if always under revision.
@LamontCranston Of course, agree Is one of those things that is always needed and never enough. May be it would be even more important IF Science where mainly about what minds hold (cognitive). But science is not only nor mainly epistemology. It´s a bit like telescopes, you NEED them clean (as much as minds improve with less bias) But science is about what is out there and not in the lens.
