Hei George,
could you specify the timespan of "Until fairly recently" ?
Is is one decade, several decades, a century or
maybe sevaral centuries you are thinking of ?
Are you thinking of the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics or even
evolutionary theory as new scientific knowledge that is not in accord
with "common sense" ? Or are there more recent things that have changed
this ? I admit my limited knowledge of history of science here, since I
don't "get" what you mean with "until fairly recently".
