    It took till this year for scientists to have the idea to use mri to track brainchanges in pregnancy.

    Just imagine how many super basic observations we must be lacking.

    Scientific thought is ancient but we barely scratched the surface in pretty much every field.

      ignoring the elephant in the room that the study of anyone other than non white males is rare, people don’t talk about the obvious. We don’t write it down.

      Gravity took FOREVER before someone went “wait why?” and there’s tons of stuff we don’t even think about, like the ‘new shape’ that people just didn’t think to talk about because it’s just so simple

    I was born in the dark ages. Before 2014, we used to think the world was flat and didn’t think about climate change.
