I agree completely. A surprising number of "educated people" don't understand
that the Earth rotates, or why seasons occur, or even what a galaxy is in the
most basic sense. Most people also don't known that the continents move
slowly, or what viruses are, or what PH is, or how an aerofoil works, or
what's the difference between DC and AC current, or what a watt is...
