Description - Scientific Goofs by Billy Aronson
The "goofs" described here include some of the more spectacular and bizarre mistakes taken by reputable thinkers on the rocky road to scientific truth - goofs such as Ptolemy's insistence that the earth is the centre of the universe, Galvani's theory that frogs generate electricity, the belief that Martians irrigate their planet via a series of canals and Columbus's geographic speculations, which differ somewhat from modern maps.
