Did Louis Pasteur overcome any obstacles take risks or have any lucky breaks?

Louis Pasteur overcame obstacles by facing criticism for his germ theory and by encountering skepticism from the scientific community. He took risks by developing experimental vaccines, notably the rabies vaccine, which required human trials. Pasteur had a lucky breakthrough when he discovered that heating wine and beer could kill harmful microbes, which led to the process now known as pasteurization.


Louis Pasteur used a controlled experiment to show that bacteria arise from spontaneous generation?

Louis Pasteur's experiments with swan-necked flasks demonstrated that microbial growth only occurred when air containing microorganisms had access to the nutrient broth, refuting the theory of spontaneous generation. The swan-necked flasks allowed air to reach the broth but trapped any microorganisms present in the neck, preventing contamination. This work laid the foundation for the germ theory of disease.


Was Louis Pasteur a Freemason?

Louis Pasteur was most likely never a Freemason. He is not listed in William R. Denslow's definitive book, 10,000 Famous Freemasons, or by any other reputable source. Understand that, in most cases, it is virtually impossible to prove a negative, therefore one cannot say with absolute certainty that Pasteur was NOT a Freemason, but there is no evidence to indicate that he was.Masonry, like most groups, is very proud of its famous members and usually points them out, so if evidence existed, Pasteur would be claimed as a member by the Fraternity. When only anti-masons are the ones claiming someone was a Mason, it is very unlikely that the person really was. Despite what some say, Freemasonry simply isn't a "secret society" and there are generally plenty of membership records to be found.
