1 in 4 Americans Think Sun Revolves Around Earth: Study

1 in 4 Americans Think Sun Revolves Around Earth: Study | TIME.com:

"Does the Earth go around the sun, or does the sun go around the Earth?

Yes, 1 in 4.

In other words, a quarter of Americans do not understand one of the most fundamental principles of basic science.

So that’s where we are as a society right now."
