Well, there is the case of Aristarchus who came up with the heliocentric model of the solar system about 1800 years or so before Copernicus. His model was rejected because of experimental evidence -- the theory predicted stellar parallax which observation at the time could not detect! (Of course, we can detect it now that telescopes have been invented -- the stars are just so much farther away than anyone could have possibly believed at the time.) |
