Does the sun revolve around Earth? Is radioactivity a human invention? Did humans ever live side by side with dinosaurs? A surprising number of people in Russia answered those and other questions with a resounding "yes."It's a wonder they made it into space with that kind of thinking.
A survey published this week by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center targeted scientific superstitions among Russian citizens and was released as Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev, announced that Russia should develop its own space exploration agenda.
Yet, with their country about to take bolder moves for a future in space, 32 percent of Russians dismiss the idea that the sun is the center of our solar system -- a belief known as geocentrism.
