.But when someone tells me the speed of light is 186,000 mps I have at least two choices: 1.) accept the statement at face value, trusting this individual did the work to find out (which work did not come easily to those who finally determined the speed of light); or 2.) accept or reject the statement after doing the research and experiments myself. Apparently it is only the latter type of people who inhabit your planet.

Fester, this isn't you, is it?

Asimov wrote some very good books for the layman, with titles like "The History Physics." He traces the development of science, discovery by discovery, explaining who did what, and how they did it. A book like that would be a useful for someone who imagines that it's all a bunch of memorized dogma.
