Francesco Redi's hypothesis was that "spontaneous generation" could not exist. He tested this hypothesis using maggots and meat.
Spontaneous generation of maggots in meat
Needham manipulated the presence of air in his experimental flasks to test his hypothesis about spontaneous generation of organisms.
We're part of such a spontaneous generation!
It showed that microorganisms can only enter the flask as airborne particles.

Spontaneous Generation is the belief that living things can be created from inanimate objects. Aristotle was the one who created this hypothesis. It was an explanation of the origin of life before it was scientifically proven wrong.
The prediction that he made in designing his experiment was called the scientific method.
By using an experiment with two jars filled with meat. One was sealed with a lid, while the other was not. After several days, Redi concluded spontaneous generation was false after he realized that with the jar uncovered, maggots formed, and with the jar covered, nothing.
The theory of spontaneous generation was false.
Aristotle came up with the hypothesis that living things could be created from inanimate objects. It was a theory of the origin of life before it was proven wrong.
