Was the theory of a 'super continent' originally accepted by scientists?
When German meteorologist Alfred Wegener first published his theory on Pangea (super continent) he was widely ridiculed for it. Some of the reaction to his theory on continental shift and a super continent was actually quite hostile. The idea was first put forward in 1912 but it wasn't until the 1950's that his idea was really rethought. By then evidence of continental drift was starting to support his ideas.
