When science takes a wrong turn, humanity pays the price! Join us as we examine the greatest scientific blunders that significantly delayed progress or caused major historical consequences. From phantom substances to rejected theories, these weren’t just honest mistakes – they were conceptual walls that slowed human advancement for decades or even centuries. Our countdown includes the Aether Theory, Einstein’s Cosmological Constant, Lister’s rejected antiseptic methods, leaded gasoline approval, scientific racism, and more! These mistakes remind us progress isn’t just about discovery, but sometimes just admitting that you are wrong. Which scientific myths do you think did the most damage?
