Music by pellets ......Goldbergian animation

Creativity never fails to amaze me, I came across this awesome animation which I thought I should share.

Do we know better?

Going through the classics I own, I came across long forgotten, once memorized (by me)lines from the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain"

"Jim said, the moon could'a laid them (the stars) ; well, that looked kinda reasonable, so I didn't say nothing against it, because I've seen a frog lay most as many, so ofcourse it could be done. "

The above statement, although hilarious and ridiculous example of comparison, seemed very logical to Tom and Jim. We think that with all our studies, observations and logical conclusions, we know better than the two little boys and that our conclusion is better than their deduction. May be we are right, may be, we have a better understanding of the universe and everything in it. But how do we know that we are not just as wrong as we think those two boys were?

The Earth, is round and the Earth goes around Sun. It is what we know, living in 20th century. But let's not forget that there were people who believed Sun went around earth, and Earth was a flat surface, and people might fall off the edge.

The question is, should we think we know better?
If I were to answer my own question I pose, I would say its a mistake to say we do.

Some models of theoretical physics predicts that Earth actually does not go around the sun, Earth moves in a straight line in space, and space itself is curved due to Sun's gravity, making it look as if we are, along with few other planets, are going moving around like little boys around camp fire in boy scout.

Do we know that even that conclusion is correct?
NO, we don't, But we do know that we are closer to reality than the model depicting Earth on the back of a giant tortoise.

I, for one, is more than willing to believe that the purpose of humankind is finding the truth, and that truth, some day will deliver us our salvation.
