Discussing Historical Scientific Ideas

First of all, lad, we've got to get all these medieval ideas

out of your head. Clear the way for new ideas,

knowledge of man's fabulous discoveries in the

centuries ahead. Now, that'll be a great advantage, boy.

Advantage indeed. Ha. If the boy goes about saying the world

is round,

they'll take him for a lunatic.

The world is round?

Yes, yes, that's right.

You mean it'll be round someday.

No, no, no. It's round now. Man will discover this in

centuries to come, and he will also find that the

world is merely a tiny speck in the

universe
