Isaac Newton, Wright Brothers, almost any pioneer is doubted since it hasn't been done until they did it
- glaucon 4y agoA book on the Wright brothers I would very much recommend is "The Bishop's Boys", fascinating story with a lot of detail I was unaware of. From my recollection it wasn't so much no-one believed in them as they just didn't give a dam what others thought, they just were interested in trying. I should clarify that by saying that they were certainly interested in learning what others had done but, as far as I recall, they weren't concerned what others thought about the probability of success. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23827.The_Bishop_s_Boys https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23827.The_Bishop_s_Boys
