What are we wrong about?

[dan1981]

Not so long ago in the grand scheme of things people believed

the world was flat
the sun orbited us
the personnal computer would never take off
That there was such a place as heaven and hell
etc etc etc

So what do we believe to be true today that we are going to be wrong about? (In your opinion of course!)

I am of the opinion that we know very, very little about space. We only have info on planets relatively close by, theres so much we don't know.

Actually you're wrong about that Even the ancient civilisations, (Greeks etc.) realised the world was round - Eratosthenes, the Greek keeper of the library in Alexandria in 250BC, even gave an estimate of the Earth's circumference. No-one has ever believed the Earth to be flat.

Hmmm it would appear that you're correct.

Well i've learnt my bit for today.

[Snake the Sniper]

That it is impossible to travel at speeds greater than C, the speed of light in a vacuum.

That a meteor killed the dinosaurs. (It was really just a massive case of flu. No really, it was.)

That the moon is made of green cheese.

That when women say they don't mind, they mean it.

People are still going on about that one, although the argument moved on (in around 1998) to include a conveyor belt.

They were wrong about time travel.

Jesus is a lovly bloke, can't hold his beer though.
