today he is most remembered as the originator of continental drift hypothesis by suggesting in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth (German: Kontinentalverschiebung).
Alfred Wegener - his hypothesis was not accepted by mainstream geology until the 1950s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a substantial basis for today’s model of plate tectonics
Forty years of “you moron!” and “fuckin’ weirdo dweeb” to be proven right in a major shift of academic thinking. And he wasn’t even the first to think of it - anyone folding a map back in the days probably had a similar thought. But. The rigid nature of what is allowed to be a fact was . . uh . . different. Then.
