Francesco Redi did an experiment in 1668 that disproved a belief that maggots spontaneously generated on rotting meat. His experiment was to place meat into sets of jars: one set he left open to the air, one set he covered with very fine gauze, one set was completely sealed. Maggots appeared on the meat in the open jars; flies laid eggs on the gauze but no maggots appeared because the scent of rotting meat provides no nourishment; nothing appeared on the meat in the completely sealed jars.
Redi believed in spontaneous generation of many things, just not fly maggots. He is credited with beginning the experiments using controls method used now.

∙ 13y agoRedi proved that spontaneous generation is not always effective. For example, living things cannot be produced from non-living things. He proved this by putting meat in a jar alone, where nothing happened, and meat in a jar with a fly, where the fly layed eggs and maggots hatched. So living things can only come from living things
