400 Years of the Third Law – An overlooked and neglected revolution in astronomy
It&#x27;s a real shame that stuff like this is not taught in introductorry science classes.  IMHO it&#x27;s actually much more important to understand the <i>process</i> of science than its results, but modern science education concentrates almost exclusively on the latter.  This leaves many students with the impression that science is nothing more than a list of &quot;facts&quot; to be memorized, with no understanding of <i>why</i> these facts are in fact facts.  This leaves them wide open to believing pseudo-scientific claims, because to their eyes they are indistinguishable from real scientific claims.
