the amount of wrong.

Let’s be real. The vast majority of us get all of our truths from reading something that we trust. In other words, we don’t know enough to know if what we’re reading is true or false but we know enough to know that we can generally trust the person telling us.

If something as simple as the law of gravity. The vast majority of us would say that it’s true. But not because we’ve tested it - or really probably even understand it - but because we’ve been told it enough times by people we trust.

And then I come across a line like this while reading an article about dark matter.

Perhaps we’re wrong about something in the standard model that defines how the tiniest particles in the universe behave and interact, and dark matter exists, but in a very different form than we’re expecting. Or perhaps we are wrong about the laws of gravity.

So I then look up if this is actually a possibility… that we’re wrong about the laws of gravity. And it turns out there is a growing minority who thinks we might just be.

Let’s be real. The vast majority of us don’t know much of anything. Which is pretty awesome - we have plenty to keep learning.
