They laughed at Galileo
how the great inventors proved their critics wrong
Examines stories of inventors and their inventions or ideas from throughout human history and how they have changed human history for the better, such as Marconi's radio, Edwin L. Drake's search for oil deep underground, and Louis Pasteur's germ theory. Highlights how the "enlightened contemporaries" of these inventors' days tended to proclaim their ideas could not be done, and were routinely proven wrong.
