I'm reminded of my Geomorphology course in the 1980s when my professor described the history of it.

Seems someone back in the late 1800's (or early 1900s) came up with a theory on landform change over time.  Professors built their  dissertations, PhD's, wrote books, and based their entire careers (and payroll and departments) on the science for about 50-odd years.

Then sometime in the 1950s or 1960s, came plate tectonics and the old theory was tossed out the window.

How science changes.
