- captaincrowbar 7y agoMy favourite example comes from the development of the modern picture of the formation of the solar system, when it was suggested that giant planets often swapped places during the early days of this and other planetary systems. This idea (now widely accepted as probably true) was known as the Jumping Jupiter hypothesis.
