Hi All. The German meteorologist Alfred Wegener suggested the first comprehensive theory of continental drift in 1912. Continental drift was hotly debated off and on for decades following Wegener's death before it was largely dismissed as being eccentric, preposterous, and improbable. However, beginning in the 1950s, a wealth of new evidence emerged to revive the debate about Wegener's provocative ideas and their implications.

From what I have been able to learn as to why this theory wasn’t accepted was that he didn’t know why the continents moved. They chose to ignore it at best and ridiculed him at worse because they didn’t understand it and that it flew in the face of their long founded believes. I have often wondered how much closer we would be to being able to predict earthquakes had his theory been accepted and then looked for the reason why the continents moved.

It seems there are scientists today who still have that same mentality. When they are confronted with something they don’t understand, or goes against their believes they label it as being a hoax instead of trying to learn what it is that others have discovered. Take Care…Don in creepy town
