1901: The U.S. Navy called flight a “vain fantasy”
1955: Space travel is “utter bilge”
Always listen to the ‘experts’. Shame there’s so few jobs left in science now that so many things are settled.
In 1903, New York Times predicted that airplanes would take 10 million years to develop
Only nine weeks later, the Wright Brothers achieved manned flight. The pathologically cynical always will find a reason to complain.
In 1492, it was settled science that the world was flat and Columbus could expect to fall off the edge.
False. The understanding that the Earth is spherical was arguably embellished as early as the Third Century BC. By the end of the Fifth Century it was a universally accepted fact.In 1492, it was settled science that the world was flat and Columbus could expect to fall off the edge.
No wonder why Libs want to cancel Columbus, he's a "science denier".
May have been. But, in 1492, the civilized world thought it to be flat.False. The understanding that the Earth is spherical was arguably embellished as early as the Third Century BC. By the end of the Fifth Century it was a universally accepted fact.
The children's Columbus song is historically misleading.

Interestingly enough. Earth is, indeed, the center of the universe, for the human race. Wherever an observer is is the center of that observer's universe.Earth is the center of the universe.
On the back of a turtle.
No further investigations required, science is settled.
You’re the loons who claim science settled. Tens of thousands of scientists now unemployed, universities dropping courses leaving science professors unemployed. It’s horrific.Is this some kind of bizarre religious nutter attempt to cast doubt on all science? The OP forgot to make any points.
"We" are? Wo are "we"? What science? You don't even know. Just a blind, stupid rant. Belongs in the public masturbation section, not the science section.You’re the loons who claim science settled.
Do I get a dollar in my PayPal for every ‘science is settled’ quote from you Leftards?"We" are? Wo are "we"? What science? You don't even know. Just a blind, stupid rant. Belongs in the public masturbation section, not the science section.
Sure, but you will need a few 100 million of them to substantiate your childish, stupid choice of words. Try to use your big boy words to refine your point a little bit.Do I get a dollar in my PayPal for every ‘science is settled’ quote from you Leftards?
Not my fault you Leftards claim science is settled.Sure, but you will need a few 100 million of them to substantiate your childish, stupid choice of words. Try to use your big boy words to refine your point a little bit.
Oops, stuck in toddler repeat mode, now.Not my fault you Leftards claim science is settled.
Your lord and savior says the science is settled.Oops, stuck in toddler repeat mode, now.
Your lord and savior says the science is settled.
Doesn’t matter. A Nobel Prize winner says the science is settled.In what, specifically? Use your big boy words. Posting videos you never watched won't cut it.
PS: your OP did not actually give examples of this. Just so you know. Your turd of a thread has been a fail from the start.
What science, specifically? You keep forgetting to use your big boy words.Doesn’t matter. A Nobel Prize winner says the science is settled.
Deal with it
