History is full of examples of people who were once vilified, widely scorned by the majority of experts and “consensus” for holding ideas that were later proven to be correct. No need to recount them here (See our posts on Eugenics, Philosophers, and more).

Of course, sometimes ideas are reviled because they’re wrong. Keep that in mind as we roll through a few recent examples of unpopular science.
