Seriously, in this day and age, people still think the Earth is the center of the solar system and the sun orbits us? This is the kind of ridiculous "science" content that moves us backwards, not forwards. According to the article a couple of people involved with the production are now speaking out against it.

Acme Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) See http://time.com/54684/star-trek-kate-mulgrew-the-principle-film/?hpt=hp_t3 for more.

This is the kind of ridiculous "science" content that moves us backwards, not forwards. According to the article a couple of people involved with the production are now speaking out against it. Crediting the folks who produced this with thinking is a gross overstatement. Kudos to Kate & Krauss for clarifying their positions. Be sure & follow up by reading Krauss' commentary at Slate. >> I Have No Idea How I Ended Up in That Stupid Geocentrism Documentary http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/08/lawrence_krauss_on_ending_up_in_the_geocentricism_documentary_the_principle.html ...The best thing we can all do when faced by nonsense like that, or equivalent silliness promoted by biblical fundamentalists who claim that science supports a literal interpretation of the Bible, is to ignore it in public forums, and not shine any light on the authors of this trash. As far as this particular film is concerned, one might hope that it has high production value that cost the producers a lot of money. Then, when no one beyond the three people in the country who may somehow have missed the last 500 years of science and history during their education watches the film, we can hope that the whole misbegotten enterprise will bankrupt the production company, or at least severely cramp its style. ...In an only slightly humorous light, my spell checker is questioning the word 'Geocentrism'. Do tell. Edited April 9, 2014 by Acme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
