The Shapely-Curtis debate over the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and the universe occurred in 1920, laying the groundwork for Hubble's discoveries later on that decade. The evidence Hubble gathered using the 100 inch Hooker telescope pretty firmly established Curtis as the winner of this debate. His research was easily confirmed by other astronomers, and thus most were quickly persuaded. Hubble's results dovetailed with other areas of science, such as Einstein's General Relativity.

Why did other scientists not accept Alfred Wegeners theory?
why did other scientist not accpet Alfred Wegeners theory
why did people believe geocentric theory?
Because of Ptolemy. This was a case of both secular and religious authorities forcing a theory (which was proven wrong in the ancient world) to be the received wisdom, due to a reluctance to accept new theories. It is taught to scientists nowadays as a warning, to always be on the watch that they do not grow so comfortable with a theory that they will struggle to defend it, even against overwhelming evidence to the contrary..
What might cause a scientists to reject a theory?

Did scientists support Dobereiners theory?
Some scientists supported Johann Dobereiner's theory of triads, which suggested that certain elements had similar properties and could be grouped together. However, the theory was later replaced by the modern periodic table developed by Dmitri Mendeleev.
What scientists helped develop space theory?
No one haha it just was there for like ever
When would scientists accept a theory?
probably when you can prove it
Which of these is a theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin of the universe?
the quantum theory
Do you think it's wise for scientists not to accept a theory immediately even if the theory has a lot of evidence to support it?
Each scientists have there own opinion. Some accept theories and some have to have facts.

What is Theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin of the universe?
The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted.
What is a theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin the universe?
The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted.
How is evolution scientifically disputed?
It is NOT scientifically disputed as the overwhelming number of scientists accept evolutionary theory. Those scientists, and others, that do not accept the theory do so for religiously ideological reasons, though they try to rationalize this by pseudo scientific proposals.
Why don't scientists accept the steady state theory?
Scientists do not widely accept the steady state theory because it does not align with observed evidence such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the Hubble expansion of the universe. These observations strongly support the Big Bang theory, which is the prevailing cosmological model.
Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
What do scientists generally say about evolution?
99.9% of all scientists accept evolutionary theory. A great majority of biologists, at least, find it useful.
Why are scientists more reluctant to accept Charles Darwin's theory?
Scientists were having the same problem that Darwin thought would happen. In Darwin's mind his theory took away the need for a God. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science community. Some scientists still have the same shallow mind that other scientists had during Darwin's time.
Why do scientist accept the capture theory?
They generally don't. The Giant Impact Hypothesis is generally accepted amongst scientists.
