5 veces que la CIENCIA se ha EQUIVOCADO

The video explores historical scientific theories that were later debunked, such as spontaneous generation, Vulcan's existence, and Earth's expansion. It highlights the adaptability of science in accepting new evidence and refining theories. The video also discusses Einstein's static universe model and the ether theory, emphasizing the importance of continuous inquiry and evidence-based understanding in science.

• They appeared spontaneously under the right conditions.

• They were created by divine intervention.

• They were brought to Earth by meteorites.

• They evolved from complex organisms.

• The identification of a new star in the Milky Way.

• The existence of a planet beyond Pluto.

What was the main issue with Einstein's static model of the universe?

• It predicted the universe would collapse immediately.

• It could not account for the universe's expansion.

What was the hypothesis about Earth's expansion?
