People didn't believe the theory of continental drift initially because Wegener's evidence was not widely accepted at the time, and he didn't have a satisfactory explanation for the mechanism of how continents could move. The scientific community also lacked the technology to fully understand plate tectonics until later developments in the mid-20th century.
Before Copernicus What did most scholars believe about the earth and the heavens?
Before Copernicus, most scholars adhered to the geocentric model, which posited that the Earth was the center of the universe and that all celestial bodies, including the sun and planets, revolved around it. This view was largely influenced by Ptolemy's writings and was supported by the Church, as it aligned with theological beliefs. The geocentric perspective dominated for centuries, shaping astronomical thought until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus gained acceptance.
