What We Think We Know about UPSTREAM Straight Run - Current research suggests that 'popular wisdom' may be wrong

摘要

Sometimes data flies in the face of what we've been taught for generations. People thought the earth was ''flat" for most of recorded history. Its flatness was accepted as fact (at least by all but a few of the most forward-thinking people) until it was mathematically proven otherwise. Only in 1492, did Columbus sail the "ocean blue" in a westerly direction to find a path to India, and even then he didn't succeed. Pictures of the round Earth became available only 40 years ago as a byproduct of space exploration and courtesy of NASA's Apollo missions.
