lots, Galileo and others like him whose ideas conflicted with the church were to scared to try and spread the truth
One example of a scientist whose work was largely ignored during his lifetime is Gregor Mendel. His experiments with pea plants led to the discovery of the basic principles of genetic inheritance, but his work was not widely recognized until after his death.
His results were surprising.(Apex)
Mendel's results were largely ignored for several reasons, including the scientific community's focus on blending inheritance theories and the lack of understanding of how traits were passed on. His work was published in 1866 but went largely unnoticed until the early 20th century, partly due to the limited communication and collaboration among scientists at the time. Additionally, Mendel's experimental methods with pea plants were not widely replicated or recognized until later, when other researchers began to confirm his findings and the principles of genetics emerged.
One scientist who was largely ignored during his time was Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. His groundbreaking work on inheritance patterns in pea plants was published in 1866 but went largely unrecognized until the early 20th century. Mendel's principles of heredity were rediscovered in 1900, leading to the foundation of genetics as a scientific discipline. His ideas, though revolutionary, were overshadowed by the prevailing theories of the time, highlighting how groundbreaking work can be overlooked.
what changes happened at the time as a result of this scientists work
In the US Dr. Werner von Braun. (Robert Goddard's earlier pre-WW2 work was mostly ignored) In the USSR other scientists captured from Germany.
Current or electritcity is not the work of a single person. It took time and work. When we say time and work we are talking about the result of the work of inventors, scientists, and researchers, who toiled over the subject for millennia.
Mendel was the scientist that was largely ignored during his lifetime.
