You can see the same pattern in many discoveries — the first person to say something new gets mocked and get recognized aftet their death.
Think about it. Nikola Tesla was ridiculed for his alternating current system, now it powers the world. Alfred Wegener said continents move, they laughed at him. Today we teach it in every school as plate tectonics.
Barry Marshall said ulcers were caused by bacteria, not stress. They called him crazy, so he drank the bacteria himself to prove it. He got sick, cured himself with antibiotics, and won a Nobel Prize.
Even Galileo faced the same treatment - jailed for saying the earth revolves around the sun. Now he’s called the father of modern science.
John Snow proved cholera came from dirty water, not bad air. Nobody listened until years later when the evidence became too clear to deny.
