When was germ theory accepted as a scientific fact?
Flexi Says:
A scientific theory is a broad explanation that is widely accepted because it is strongly supported by a great deal of evidence.
An example of a scientific theory is the germ theory of disease. According to this theory, contagious diseases are caused by germs, or microorganisms.
The germ theory of disease was first proposed in the mid-1500s. It was not widely accepted until the late 1800s, when it was strongly supported by experimental evidence from Louis Pasteur.
