I have always wondered why I was taught in school for so long and it turns out that apparently lots of other people were taught this too.
The only reason I can think if that we were raight that blood in the body is blue is because our veins look blue. But does anyone know where that myth came from or why kids are still being taught this today?
I remember my second grade teacher saying that stars aren’t actually suns, they are just specs of light in the sky, and they don’t get much bigger once you get close up to them. In hindsight I’m baffled that someone with such a simplistic worldview actually managed to meet the educational requirements for being a teacher.
