example of scientific consensus being wrong because NOBODY bothered to compare theory to reality
Experiments in the 1600s through the 1800s discredited this idea. These experiments took the form of allowing meat to rot in sealed and semi-sealed containers ([[Francesco Redi]], 1668), which demonstrated that maggots only formed in meat that flies laid eggs in; and by storing sterilized soup in bottles that prevented dust and bacteria from entering ([[Louis Pasteur]], 1860).
