No. He died in 1930 and it wasn't until the sixties that the theory was accepted by the mainstream scientific community.

Was the ancient Greek philosopher democritus theory widely accepted during his lifetime?
No
Was the theory of Albert Wegener accepted during his lifetime?
No, not until later was this theory proven and supplemented by the theory of plate tectonics.
Why was sea floor spreading not known during wegeners lifetime?
There was a lack of technology.
Was democritus thoery widely accepted during his lifetime?
The atomic theory of Democritus was not widely accepted during his lifetime. The dominant Greek philosopher of the era, Aristotle, opposed all ideas concerning atomic theory, refusing to believe that anything such as an atom could even exist.
Was Salvador Dali accepted as an artist during his lifetime?
He certainly was.
Who first noticed how the continents fit together in 1911?
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, in which he suggested that the continents had once been joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. While his ideas were not widely accepted during his lifetime, they later formed the basis for the theory of plate tectonics.
When did Ptolemy discover the earth was at the center of the universe?
Never. It was one of the theories that were in play during his lifetime, and eventually the heliocentric theory, with the planets orbiting the Sun, was generally accepted. But it was Kepler's theory that has been accepted rather than Coprnicus's theory as supported by Galileo. Whether the Sun was at the centre or not was only part of the whole theory, and Kepler's elliptical orbits are now believed to represent the correct model, and not Copernicus's model which used circles and epicycles.
How did Voltaire contribute to the American revolution?
Ideologically for the most part. More research needs to be done about his actual contributions during his lifetime, but widely accepted timelines have him as an old man when during the war.
State lemarcks theory of evolution?
French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed in the equilibrium of nature. His theory of evolution suggests that traits acquired by organism during its lifetime will be passed on to the offspring.
Who propose use and disuse theory?
The use and disuse theory was proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a French naturalist, in the early 19th century. Lamarck suggested that organisms could pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring. This theory contrasted with Darwin's theory of natural selection and is now largely discredited.
Was there a war going on during Tycho Brahe's lifetime?
No there was not a war going on during Tycho Brahe's lifetime.
Why was wegeners theory of continental drift?
While geological research during the sixties had shed new light into the theory, it was J. Tuzo Wilson's proposal of a mechanism for continental drift what led to widespread acceptance of the theory. Proposing a feasible mechanism was something Wegener himself had failed to do, he had only proposed some evidence (complementary Coastlines and fossil distributions across continents.) and falsified mechanisms (like Earth's centrifugal pseudoforce).
