Reply to comment by LegionsAssassin in Dragons probably came to be from medieval people seeing dinosaur bones and thus spreading the myth of the Dragon. by [deleted]

Well.. they did. The Greeks had this sorta stuff figured out before they knew that the earth wasn’t the center of the universe. But that doesn’t matter, I wasn’t talking about the people back then knowing that, I was talking about us here in the modern era knowing that.

The Earth is the centre of the universe though, it's not the centre of the solar system as once thought. The universe expanded from all points equally and in all directions, from any perspective in the universe the centre is that point. You, me, anyone, the sun, the moon, whatever they are all the centre of the universe.

I can see where you’re coming from, but incorrect. What you mean is we are at the center of our Observable universe, but saying we are actually at the center of it means we are right where the Big Bang happened, and we know we are not.

Plus if they didn’t understand physics, the trebuchet and catapult would have never existed.
