Let’s Begin…

About 100 years ago, scientists discovered that the Brontosaurus never existed. So why are they still hanging around? And what's up with the fuzzy Tyrannosaurus?

“In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.” --Carl Sagan
