Science Was Wrong: Startling Truths About Cures, Theories, and Inventions "They" Declared Impossible

Two months before the Wright brothersâ€™ historic flight at Kitty Hawk, a top scientist declared that â€œno possible combination of known substances, known forces of machinery and known forms of force can be united in a practical [flying] machine...â€ Germ theory was first advanced in ancient anskrit texts thousands of years ago, but wasnâ€™t widely accepted until late in the 19th century. Space travel was declared â€œutter bilgeâ€ in 1956 by the British astronomer Royal, one of a long line of scientists who â€œprovedâ€ it was impossible. Throughout history, it has been difficult, even impossible, to promote the acceptance of new discoveries. Yet during the last two centuries, there has been a veritable explosion of new cures, theories, techniques, and inventions that have revolutionized aviation, space travel, communications, medicine, and warfare. Most of them, of course, were deemed â€œimpossible.â€ Science Was Wrong is a fascinating collection of stories about the pioneers who created or thought up the â€œimpossibleâ€ cures, theories, and inventions â€œtheyâ€ said couldnâ€™t work. How many have suffered or died because cures werenâ€™t accepted? How many inventions have been quashed? How much progress was delayed or denied? You will end up shaking your head in disbelief and even disgust as you learn the answers.
