Wrong scientific theories in human history

Einstein's doctrine of self-birth, static universe . are doctrines that have been proved wrong and rejected.

In the history of science, many doctrines have been endorsed by many intellectuals and existed for a long time, but were later proved to be false and rejected. Which are the theories? Let's find out through the article below.

1. The doctrine of self-birth

Since ancient times, people have always believed in the doctrine of spontaneous generation (also called spontaneous generation theory).

Accordingly, living organisms on the Earth are naturally born without the need for similar structural organisms. For example, maggots are produced from soil, or living organisms created by the Sun and water, not their parents.

A typical example is the architect of the ancient Roman Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (80 - 15 BC) that the bookworms were blown from the south or west, so the library should turn to face East.

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio - one of the first scholars to believe in self-generating doctrine.

Even until the end of the nineteenth century, many people still believed in this seemingly ridiculous theory. They believe that wind is a factor in creating life. Some people think, the worm and the frog are born from mud, and the maggots are decomposed by rotten meat.

Louis Pasteur - the father of the Law of Creation.

Finally in 1856, Louis Pasteur, the father of Penicillin, published the Law of Biology. Pasteur said that life must originate from life, or that children must have parents born.

A conscious creature, though the smallest and simplest cell, cannot be created from the combination of inorganic chemical atoms.

Pasteur's theory is based on a multitude of experiments, so we can refute the long-standing doctrine that lasts thousands of years.

2. Hypothesis of the etheric environment in the universe

Until the nineteenth century, scientists still thought that space could not be empty, there must be something for planets, light, cosmic rays to pass through. They call that mysterious thing ether (aether or ether).

The universe was once thought to be filled by ether - a massless physical environment.

At that time, ether was regarded as a massless physical environment that filled the entire cosmic space and the Earth. However, even though everyone believes in this, none of the experiments can provide evidence of the existence of this environment.

In 1887, Albert Michelson and Edward Morley - the two American scientists gave the first experiment to dismiss this hypothesis. The Michelson - Morley experiment showed that the speed of light transmission in the normal environment and in ether is not different.

Albert Michelson and Edward Morley - who first rejected the ether hypothesis.

However, the story of etheric theory has not stopped there. In 1892, Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz suggested that moving objects in the etheric environment would shrink and time would slow. This will make the light travel time of the light the same, so the etheric environment is still real.

But in the end, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity introduced in 1905 put an end to the hypothesis of the etheric environment in the universe, and laid the foundation for the development of the human aviation industry. today.

3. Einstein's theory of static universe

In the early twentieth century, before the theory of the Big Bang was born, many scientists wondered about the formation of the universe. The most popular hypothesis at that time was that the size of the universe was always constant and a constant.

Physicist genius Albert Einstein.

This hypothesis seems to be strengthened more strongly when Einstein published the General Relativity , which presents a static universe. Einstein believed that the universe always existed, with no starting point or end point.

However, if the universe is finite, there will be times when the energy in the universe becomes too dense and collapsed. To solve this, Einstein introduced the so-called "cosmological constant" - showing that the energy density is not affected by any expansion or contraction. Later, however, Einstein had to admit that the cosmological constant was his "biggest mistake" .

By 1931, Belgian physicist Georges-Henri Lemaitre proposed a theory called Big Bang - the big bang theory.

This theory suggests that the universe was formed after a massive material explosion and the universe has continued to expand. Today's Big Bang theory has become the most widely accepted view of the origin of the universe.
