“During the 1970s and 1980s, the popular television soap opera As The World Turns portrayed sunrise during the opening credits and sunset during the closing credits... The soap-opera sunrise showed the sun moving toward the left as it rose rather than to the right. They obviously had gotten a piece of film showing a sunset and played it in reverse... Had they called their local astrophysicists, any one of us might have recommended that if they needed to save money, they could have shown the sunset in a mirror before they showed it running backward.” IfsWorldMightRunningFilmMovingTurnsCultureLeftSunPiecesTelevisionNeededMirrorsRoseCreditLocalsOpeningSunsetOperaReverseSunriseClosingSoapSaving MoneySoap OperasRunning Back Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson

When you credit teenagers with intelligence and emotional sophistication, they respond intelligently and with emotional sophistication.” IfsKnowsLyingCultureEmotionalPopsCreditSmellTeenagerBeing YourselfPop CultureSophisticationMillennialsDon't Lie Author:John Green
