Re: Q&A Game.

It took the discovery of which chemical element to discredit the long-held idea of the existence of 'phlogiston', a false theory developed by German scientist J. J. Becher?

Re: Q&A Game.

yes, his work in hyperbolic geometry and his replacement of euclidean postulate stating that there is an infinite amount of paralell lines that could be drawn through a point parallel to another line, his work on showing that the sum of all the angles in a triangle must be less then 180 degrees is what in a few words, made GR possible mathematically...

Re: Q&A Game.

no actually, you are wrong on this one, while it is a debated topic, it is a common misunderstanding generally caused by mathematician's stride for rivalry, Gauss really appreciated Lobachevsky's work (actually not on just the hyperbolic geometry) and visa-versa it was no competition and noone stole anyone's ideas; they had a really warm mail correspondence (having read some of the letters), they both cross checked each other's ideas and commented on the findings, and it was Gauss that was the first to read the and correct the paper on hyperbolic geometry before Lobachevsky published it...
