I wish I'd learned it in school properly. The way they taught it
  was: "Look how stupid we were 'til this guy came along" And even
  then I remember thinking, "What's so stupid about it?" I mean
  switching to the new model is great for its purposes and it led
  to fantastic findings about gravity... but still, seems valuable
  to know...." But I never liked elitism in science classes. "We
  were stupid before but now we're smart". That always got me
  annoyed because I KNOW 100 years from now, a lot of what we
  think we know about the world will be refined, many things
  overturned completely, and they'll look at US and go, "Oh what
  idiots they were in 2021"... or whatever year this is tongue
