Title: A Wikipedia Collection of Obsolete Science
Post by: pxib on July 03, 2010, 05:02:13 PM
I came across this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_scientific_theory) in one of those charmingly modern link-hopping adventures, most directly by way of "Rain follows the plow" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_follows_the_plow). I knew of many of these by name, but it's fascinating to read their (frequently political) histories and the histories of the scientists who championed them.
