The Great Debate of 1920 between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis is something that holds not just fact for me, but also truth. Shapley (left) argued that our solar system is off to one side of the Milky Way Galaxy (correct) and that our galaxy is the entirety of the Universe (incorrect).

Those who know the home renovations here over the last 16 years know that each time a room is worked on, we discover something else that threatened the safety of the house or displays cheap Potemkin action by the previous owners. There was a section of the floor which was 1cm higher than the rest.
