I’m on mobile so won’t type it super elaborately, but there is an interesting thing here about science education.

They don’t really have the background to do elementary experiments to prove things, and many schools have under funded labs. Further many textbooks don’t talk about the development of how we got to our current state; just how it works. More modern experiments require complex instruments; can’t just borrow the large hadron collider for a weekend. As such we depend on papers published. I think that could give a similar vibe to Sunday School.
