Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. We used to think mars had civilization and canals until not too long ago (kinda funny that the drawings of those canals ended up looking a lot like the veins in a human eye). Also, the idea of radio waves going through the ether, on which a lot of science was based got disproved at some point.

- aeternum 4y agoIndeed, nowadays everyone knows that radio waves propagate through quantum fields which pervade the entire universe including vacuums. Definitely not ether, those foolish old scientists got the name wrong :D
- eecc 4y agoI don’t think anyone thinks fields exist, physically at least. They’re mathematical constructs that model certain operations but there’s no EM field or G field by itself, independently of a physical particle expressing these forces
