Quote by Robert Ballard
Im a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a stud

Im a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kays geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap. – Robert Ballard
