Week Seven - Avogadro's Hypothesis

Well it's kind of cool to think of how we have all these scientific theories across the board, and how today they are accepted. But rarely do we step back in time to see the process of how the theory finally emerged from its hypothesis, as they all do! Also quite interesting is how part of the reason Avogadro's hypothesis was originally rejected was because it contradicted a popular belief at the time. Now that's not very scientific!! This concept can still be seen in modern culture with practices that were accepted at one time, but proven to be wrong/harmful in the end: tobacco usage, processed foods, big & "safe" SUVs, etc. It's not easy to go against the grain of popular thought, but eventually the truth catches on!
