All of those discoveries you listed were originally confirmed with repeatable experiments. In fact the the existence of black holes and the occurrence of the big bang were only hypothesized as explanations for the results of other repeatable scientific experiments.
It wasn't hard for Galileo to show that the earth orbits the sun. His methods and results would still be acceptable to the scientific community if he did the experiments today. Just because the public didn't accept his work did not make it any less scientifically valid.
- kbenson 13y agoI think what you mean is they were eventually confirmed by repeatable experiments )even if eventually was shortly after the theory in some cases). Science begins with theory. It's appropriate to criticize people presenting theories as likely without evidence, but it's important to distinguish theory that is intended to be tested, but just can't or hasn't been yet from that which doesn't really expect to be tested.
