Max Planck proposed the quantum theory of radiation in 1900, which revolutionized our understanding of the behavior of electromagnetic radiation. Planck introduced the concept of energy quantization, where energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete units called quanta. This groundbreaking theory laid the foundation for quantum mechanics.
The fundamental assumption behind quantum mechanics is that particles and systems can exist in multiple states or positions simultaneously, until they are observed or measured. This is known as superposition. The theory was first proposed by Max Planck in 1900, and later developed by Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and others.
Max Planck proposed the concept of quanta in 1900, leading to the development of quantum theory. This marked the beginning of modern quantum physics and revolutionized our understanding of the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels.
In a sense Niels Bohr did by introducing different orbits in which electrons spin around the nucleus. Bohr argued that each electron has a certain fixed amount of energy, which corresponds to its fixed orbit. Therefore, when an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to the next higher orbit rather than moving continuously between orbits. The characteristic of electrons having fixed energy quantities (quanta) is also known as the quantum theory of the atom.
Better evidence, especially from genetics. When Charles Darwin first proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection his mechanism of heredity was dead wrong. He posited a blending type of heredity. When Gregor Mendel's work was rediscovered in about 1900 particulate inheritance was brought to the forefront of evolutionary thinking and the synthesis of the 1930's and '40's cooperated this thinking with Darwinian though to give us modern evolutionary theory.

Alfred wegeners theory of continental driftIs that once all the continents were all join as one massive land mass. (and split apart.)
The idea of that the continents were shifting was first observed by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and further examined in the early 1900's and in the 1960's when the theory of plate tectonics were developed, scientists were able to understand it more clearly.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century, but it was met with skepticism because he lacked a mechanism to explain how the continents moved. It wasn't until the mid-20th century with the development of plate tectonics that his ideas gained widespread acceptance. Wegener's hypothesis was ultimately accepted and he is now recognized for his contributions to our understanding of Earth's geology.

The concept of quantum theory of radiation was introduced by Max Planck in 1900. Planck's theory proposed that radiation is emitted and absorbed in discrete packets of energy, known as quanta. This laid the foundation for the development of quantum mechanics.
Blackbody radiation was discovered by Max Planck in 1900. Planck proposed a theory that described the spectral distribution of energy emitted by a blackbody at different temperatures, leading to the development of quantum mechanics.
The Electron Cloud theory was proposed in the early 20th century, around the 1920s. It was developed as an improvement to the Bohr model of the atom to better describe the behavior of electrons within an atom.

In the 1900s, scientists primarily believed that mountains were formed by the shifting of the Earth's tectonic plates, a theory known as plate tectonics. This idea suggested that the movement of the Earth's crustal plates could lead to the folding, faulting, and uplift of rock layers to create mountain ranges.
