Psychics see big trouble over new laws

Did the psychics mention anything about Vanna White?

Scientists used to believe that if a human travelled at over a mile a minute, he'd have all sorts of weirdness happen. Scientists used to believe you could cure a person's every ailment by bleeding them or bad bile caused it. Scientists used to accept that tomatoes were poisonous. Science can't know everything because accepted knowledge keeps changing. I can't prove me right or you wrong. Should the unexplained happen to you, you'll know.

Woof!

In my lifetime we have broken the sound barrier. No barrier actually existed but it was thought that all kinds of terrible things might happen when aircraft reached transonic, or supersonic speeds. I have done this and in the aircraft, it is mostly uneventful.
Bleeding was thought to be a curative measure because it seemed to relax the person subjected to the bleeding.
Tomatoes were thought to be poisonous because the rest of the plant (a species of Deadly Nightshade) was poisonous.
You are right. The accumulated knowledge of science is continually growing and we have to grow with it.
