Gedol, would you argue with a psak of the Rema too? Maybe you would, given what you seem to think is acceptable in halacha. Is the “beis medrash” you learn in by any chance the “beis medrash lerabanim” in Manhattan?
It had been several years since i was involved in this sugya, and while i remembered a long list of achronim and rishonim who pasken that chazal did not err in science issues, i forgot the mareh mekomos.
So i looked back and saw the rema in Torahs haolah (1:2) who says clearly that whatever chazal said about science is absolutely true.
Rabbeinu bachya in his hakdama to chumash says this as well, and says that all wisdom of the universe is in the Torah.
Chasam Sofer in beshalach,on the pasuk of “ki hi chachmascha ubinascha..” says that chazal knew all the chochmos of the world.
