Reply to comment by KypDurron in TIL a German scientist named Alfred Wegener was ridiculed in 1912 for advancing the idea that the continents were adrift. Ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” or “Germanic pseudo-science” and accused Wegener of toying with the evidence to spin himself into “a state of auto-intoxication." by Hot----------Dog
In not saying you are wrong, but iirc,
a) there are a lot of theorems that "came to people" from the use of drugs and have been proven
b) sometimes people notice patterns that people, actually working in that field, dont see due to having other neuronal pathways and seeing things differently
And I for one would like to imagine that spreading thorems is a good way to test and improve current models and maybe gain a different view on them that lets one notice blindspots of it
