World History Review

How much do you remember?

The prior picture showed Neil deGrasse Tyson holding a shirt. He is an American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, author, and science communicator. What is the message on the shirt that he is holding? When you get the message say "Got It!" in chat.

Who is the author of the quote that was on his shirt?

You are smarter than you realize. You have the ability to adapt.

Who wants to try and read the next sentence really fast? Any volunteers?

"It deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

Take a look at this nxet paragraph. Can you read what it says? All the letters have been jumbled (mixed). Only the first and last letter of ecah word is in the right place:
