"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

Solar "Heat"

This morning I took this image which my wife calls SOLAR HEAT.  This is a frying pan on my kitchen cabinet along side of a microwave.  Notice the orange "heat" glow at the bottom of the frying pan.  It is not on a stove nor did the microwave have anything to do with it.  Where did the "heat" come from?  Take a look at this image, then see the followup image and see where the "solar heat" came from.
