Saying Hello
#12
Aristotle claimed that heavy objects fall to earth faster than light objects. All the lemmings parroted that same wrong notion for centuries, until finally, one Isaac Newton said, "BS!" And he demonstrated the flaw in the previous "common wisdom." Not just that, he provided everyone with a verifiable set of physics equations, so anyone can confirm what Newton claims, with math and also with experiments.

No need to "just believe."

An example of why my personal reaction to philosophy always boils down to this:

"Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, sounds like a personal opinion."

(But yes, even I can enjoy the clever turns of phrase some philosophers come up with.)
