The Biggest Scientific Controversies and Debates that Shook the World of Knowledge

The Theory of Relativity

Einstein's theory of relativity, which proposed that space and time are not absolute but relative to the observer, was met with skepticism and controversy. Many scientists found it hard to accept the idea that time could slow down or speed up depending on the observer's speed. Despite the controversy, the theory of relativity has been confirmed by numerous experiments and is now a cornerstone of modern physics.
