Many intuitively plausible beliefs conflict with science. For example, the belief that the Sun
moves around a stationary Earth conflicts with current astronomy. Give at least one other
intuitively plausible belief that conflict with either Copernican astronomy or Newtonian physics
or both and discuss why it is anomolous.
Solution
It was earlier believed that the universe was static, i.e. it neither contracts nor expands. But it was
found by Hubble that the objects which were farther away were moving more quickly away than
the nearby ones. Recently, in 1999 it was found that universe was expanding and this expansion
is accelerating.
