Misconceptions you had as a child

[Silverthorn]

Just some things that I remember off the top of my head:

I actually thought the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter was spherically symmetrical around the sun. Took me years to understand that the laws of physics don't allow such madness!
For those that don't know: it's just a plane, not a sphere

Also, I was in the strong belief that Atlantis was about 1000km south of Greenland with an approximate area of Australia.

Time travel into the past was possible if you concentrated well enough. Sadly, I always got distracted by Lego-pieces....

Pokemon exist in places no human has ever visited. So do dragons.

My cuckoo clock (also referred to as "the doomclock") is a perpetuum mobile.

If you grab something in your dream and wake up, you'll hold it in your hands in reality. As soon as I tried to transfer money into reality, I got disappointed....

The internet-connection-speed will never be faster than Dial-Up. Why would anyone need faster internet?


Eh, can't think of anything else as of now
