- Hey, smart people, Joe here.
If someone walked up to you today and said, "Hey, the sun isn't the center of the solar system, " you would think that person is weird.
Like, if they sat down next to you, you'd probably get up and move.
Because the sun being the center of the solar system, the Earth orbiting the sun, that's like elementary school stuff.
Well, today I am that weird person.
The sun isn't the center of the solar system, and it won't be until 2027.
Before you turn off this video thinking I've completely lost my mind, I need to explain two things.
One, I am right, and you'll see why.
Two, when we look at the crazy history of people figuring out what is actually in the center of the solar system, well, there's a really important lesson about where new ideas come from in science and what it takes for a new idea to actually become the truth.
(upbeat music) Oh, hey, I wanna take a quick second to say thank you to everyone who supports this show on Patreon.
