Before anyone reacts with a cynical “but you yeshiva people say that rabbis know science” – rabbinic authority on scientific information is limited to chazal, and some say rishonim. No one holds that we’re bound to the scientific statements of achronim when they’re visibly not true, , unless the issue is in interpretation of the metzius, whereas we’ll listen to an acharon’s interpretation of the metzius over a scientist.
