Guest KAPOWW!! Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That's it, if I remember right the guy who made the plum pudding model was ridiculed a lot about his theory. Well that's probably not right or concrete enough, care to point me in the direction of some evidence for the topic?? Thanks! KAPOWW!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpediem Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Einstein was one of them. His theories were doubted partly due to his background, as he was a German Jew living in the US around the WWII time period.Another reason why his theories weren't initially accepted was because it wasn't possible to prove them with the technology then - I think there are also some of his other theories that have yet to be proven or disproven.Now, I can't really say about the plum pudding model scientist...

Award Winning Boss Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Every thing we believe as being logical and common now a days was seen as stupid and illogical when they came up with the idea. That's how logic happens. So if you have a theory that unicorns can be made out of paper and sand then wait 200 years and maybe it'll be proven Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Gallileo and Darwin for sure. Basically every scientist has had somebody scoffing at some sort of revolutionary idea, even if it's not a majority doing the scoffing. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexa Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Galileo and Copernicus are the fist that come to mind. They face the most problems when their science is against popular faiths. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Butter Jelly Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Lots of scientists die before their ideas are even accepted. Can't remember one. Although he's not a scientist, Van Gogh Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That's just like the law of life. Name one person in the world who was successful - instantly. Queen of England, basically.JK Rowling, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, any number of philosophers, scientists, writers, poets, painters, inventors -- everybody who was ever successful endured failure first. It's just that for most people, failure is a permanent state. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
