Also, The periodic table? The categorization of elements has undergone constant iteration and refinement for centuries. There’s a reason you don’t hear about the plum pudding model or the four classical elements anymore. Hell, five new elements have been discovered in the past 25 years alone.
If you lurk these "royalist" subs you sometimes get people fantasizing about living a humble peasant life. But they're always like, peasants in late-medieval central Europe living in those idyllic looking houses they preserve in Bavaria.

The thing about being a peasant is you were tied to a piece of land. There were actually peasants who were living pretty good because they lucked out and were tied to a very nice piece of land. Being a peasant with a good piece of land in a wealthy region may have netted you a better lifestyle than a yeoman in a poorer area.
Thing is these were always a minority of peasants.
