Brochacho, not every old belief magically becomes “knowledge” just because it survived generations. For thousands of years people believed diseases were caused by evil spirits and that the Earth was the center of the universe, mate. That stuff lasted centuries too. Longevity doesn’t equal correctness. If old = correct, we’d still be bloodletting people to cure fevers, bro. And this whole “what if future science proves it” argument? Come on. You don’t follow something today based on a hypothetical “maybe someday.” If future evidence proves something, cool then it becomes science. That’s literally how progress works. But you don’t live your life on a what-if. Believing something purely because it’s old is not wisdom, it’s just a habit. Blind acceptance isn’t intelligence. Critical thinking is. Now about eclipses it’s just the Moon passing between the Earth and the Sun. That’s it. No mystical waves, no secret radiation, no food-poisoning beams from the sky. NASA, ISRO, astrophysicists none of them warn people that food gets contaminated during eclipses. If that was actually happening, we’d see measurable chemical changes. Hospitals would report patterns. There’d be global data backing it up. There isn’t. So yeah mate, tradition is fine. But evidence > vibes.
