Pioneers of Science

Wegener and Hutton were major pioneers in earth science. Wegener proposed continental drift/plate tectonics and Hutton proposed rocks took millions of years to form. They both countered current thinking at the time, and both suffered death and/or great pains to try to prove their theories. How do you feel about that? Would you go to such great lengths to prove something to other people?

WELCOME!

This is the first blog for physical science. I'm looking forward to reading your comments and questions about our "That's Science?" activities. I want to know what big question you have and do you think it's testable?
