Throughout the history of physics, starting in the 16th and 17th centuries, scientists have come up with so many erroneous theories, hypotheses, and concepts that it's hard to imagine! These theories were consistent with experiments and had predictive power, but after a while they turned out to be incorrect or even outright nonsense. In this episode, we discuss the most interesting examples.
