Louis Pasteur; proving his germ theory

The video explores the origins of germ theory, contrasting historical beliefs with the hypothesis that germs are airborne. An experiment is conducted using two flasks: one sterilized and sealed, and the other exposed to ordinary air. The results show that germs grow in the flask with air, while the sterilized flask remains germ-free, proving the airborne theory.
