Basically, Everything You Know Is A Lie

[Nova]

I just read this article and so much of it blew my mind. I knew about the Jesus thing vaguely, but a lot of it was very surprising to learn. Anyway I thought I'd share, so enjoy!

I didn't know the pyramids one. That's pretty cool.

#1 is wrong:

"But the other, most common, camp is the "steady state" theory, wherein the universe has been expanding at the same rate since day one, and continues to expand at the same pace even now"

Big Bang:

The Big Bang is the prevailing cosmological theory of the early development of the universe. Cosmologists use the term Big Bang to refer to the idea that the universe was originally extremely hot and dense at some finite time in the past and has since cooled by expanding to the present diluted state and continues to expand today. The theory is supported by the most comprehensive and accurate explanations from current scientific evidence and observation.[1][2] According to the best available measurements as of 2010, the initial conditions occurred around 13.3 to 13.9 billion years ago.[3][4]

Still a fun read nevertheless.
