Wegener's ideas were controversial because they challenged the prevailing scientific belief of fixed continents. His theory of continental drift proposed that continents moved over long periods of time, which was difficult for many scientists to accept without a clear mechanism for how this could occur. Additionally, Wegener's evidence was met with skepticism at the time, as technology to support his theory was not yet advanced.
