Would You Believe They Put A Man On The Moon, page-369

Ah yes, physics. I believe Einstein was reasonably well versed in physics. What did he say about common sense?

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18".

I dont think it had much part to play in the evolution of flight, which goes against common sense, or the development of information technology and wireless communication, which also defy common sense. In fact even the humble electrical circuit is a bit red flag when you apply a bit of common sense.


Can you remind me, what other major contributions to the technological revolution can be attributed to common sense?

Did "if it aint broke dont fix it" play some part in all of the modern inventions that allow you to post your wisdom on a pocket sized computer connected to a global network of crystal switches now capable of Artificial Intelligence?

Or is world wide web a hoax too?
