The Earth Is Flat? Think Again!

Remember when you were taught in school that the Earth is a flat surface? Well, prepare to be amazed because that's far from the truth! Back in ancient times, it was commonly believed that the Earth was flat and supported on the back of a giant animal or held up by a pillar.

The discovery of this truth has reshaped our understanding of the world and the vast universe beyond.

Gravity: More than Just an Apple Falling from a Tree

We all know the story of how Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head, right? Well, think again! While the apple tree anecdote is a popular tale, it’s not entirely accurate. Newton's real breakthrough came when he observed an apple falling to the ground, but the concept of gravity itself had been studied by scientists long before his famous apple incident. Newton's contributions were in the formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which revolutionized physics and our understanding of the natural world.

The Curious Case of the Missing Sunflowers

Van Gogh's vibrant and mesmerizing paintings of sunflowers are renowned worldwide. We all associate him with his iconic sunflower paintings, right? Wrong! Contrary to popular belief, Van Gogh did not cut off his ear in a fit of madness following an argument about sunflowers. This myth has been perpetuated over the years, but the truth is that the argument was unrelated to sunflowers. Though Van Gogh did cut off part of his ear, the circumstances surrounding the incident were much more complex, involving a deteriorating friendship with another artist.

The myth is thought to have originated as a way to explain her irresistible allure and influence over powerful men.

It's essential to question and challenge our beliefs to further our knowledge and expand our horizons.

Sparks fly and secret histories unspool as Gwen spends a gorgeous, restless summer struggling to resolve what she thought was true--about the place she lives, the people she loves, and even herself--with what really is.
