THIS IS HEIDI'S POST!

I found the globe at the university to be the most interesting piece of science we looked at. I enjoyed learning about the attempts to put together a globe including the americas without being certain of where they existed this showed the spread of new learning but not the 100% correct knowledge being shared. Even if new information was being learned back then it wasn't always right. The same is true today, but now if the information we get is wrong we have the internet and many other people who have the information readily available to fact check it. So even if mistakes are made we can avoid them becoming worse. Although the geographer messed up, he still knew new lands where being discovered and he jumped right on the opportunity to help share it with others at the university through his model.

  1. Unfortunately now adays even though we have the ability to share all this info many still refuse to either verify or even acknowledge new info
