For fk sake, how can people be this ignorant? Stephen Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 05:21:16 PM
I was just watching a quiz show where three people answered the question of "True or False, the earth the centre of the solar system?" with True. I didn't think there could be a single person in the educated world who was ignorant of the fact that the sun is at the centre of the solar system and yet the BBC managed to gather three such idiots into one studio at the same time. Gah, I hate people right now.

Well, there is kind of a big hint in the name. Joel - 26/01/2012 08:19:05 PM 819 Views
I thought you were talking a little closer to home. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/01/2012 10:36:56 PM 245 Views
Defining the Sun as the center of the solar system isn't really right either Isaac - 26/01/2012 11:28:44 PM 838 Views
Huh. Is the system's barycenter actually outside the Sun? I thought it was in the corona. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/01/2012 11:49:23 PM 220 Views
It moves, between the photosphere and the Corona Isaac - 27/01/2012 12:58:15 AM 580 Views

Funny I almost quoted him myself, though a different bit Isaac - 27/01/2012 01:24:33 AM 559 Views
You haven't seen true idiocy until you've watched some Family Feud *NM* Praziquantel - 27/01/2012 12:59:41 AM 274 Views
I suppose idiocy might be a good description. Chas - 27/01/2012 01:36:01 AM 829 Views
