John Adams, and insert guys who's name I can't remember.
I took an astronomy class in collage, and my professor told us about a very early astronomer. He said this man thought the world was flat, and sitting in a cylinder. That the cylinder had holes in it, and rotated around us, and on the outside of the cylinder was fire. This is why the sun was hot, and the starts sparkled at night.
He said this even though this man was wrong about everything, he was the most significant astronomer ever, because he was the first person to not think the world was the way it was because "god made it that way". He looked for a logical explanation. He was the creator of science.
I forget his name, but that guy.
