That dreamer was nearly always opposed by a team of "enlightened" contemporaries publicly declaring, "It cannot be done." Well, yes it could. Marconi's wireless radio transmissions were initially deemed pointless. Edward L. Drake's eventual success on August 27, 1859, was called the day "the crazy man first struck oil." Louis Pasteur's theory of germs was considered a "ridiculous fiction." Each of these inventions has had a profound effect on the course of human history, and each one was rejected, ...
