Semmelweis observed that mothers were more likely to survive childbirth when attended by midwives instead of medical students.
He noted that puerperal fever rates at the hospital where medical students were delivering babies were significantly higher compared to the hospital where midwives were in charge.
Semmelweis also observed that handwashing with chlorinated lime solution significantly reduced the incidence of puerperal fever among new mothers.
Semmelweis's ideas weren't accepted right away because they challenged the prevailing scientific beliefs of the time that miasma, or "bad air," caused disease. His theory, that handwashing could prevent the spread of disease, was also seen as radical and faced resistance from the medical community. Additionally, Semmelweis struggled to provide a scientific explanation for his findings, which made them harder to accept.
He made many experiments and observations in the field of physics in general.
We rely on a combination of observations made from Earth and in space to build our understanding of the universe. Observations from telescopes, spacecraft, and other instruments in space provide us with valuable data that complements Earth-based observations. By combining these different sources of data, we can develop a more comprehensive picture of space.
