Abstract
Changes of scientific paradigms happen with the emergence of new theories, like the cell theory in the 19th century. These new conceptions are the result of a collective work occurring over decades or centuries. Scientists who participate in these important mutations are fully in tune with their time, even when they are considered precursors, and it is always difficult to judge how far they were right and how far they were wrong.
