The Planet Closer to the Sun than Mercury: Vulcan

The video explores the human desire for legacy through scientific discovery, focusing on the story of the hypothetical planet Vulcan. Initially believed to exist due to mathematical predictions by Leverrier, Vulcan was never observed consistently. The video details the history of Vulcan's supposed sightings and the eventual disproof of its existence by Einstein's theory of relativity, which corrected the inaccuracies in Newtonian physics that led to the belief in Vulcan. The narrative highlights the importance of challenging established beliefs and the role of scientific rigor in uncovering the truth.
