There have been some transcendental discoveries throughout the history of science that have literally revolutionized our understanding of the universe. The relationship between electricity and magnetism, the deviation of the light of the stars due to the severity of the sun, the fact that matter and energy are quantified in individual packages and particles, and the fact that the universe is expanding There were examples of extraordinary discoveries that changed fundamentally how we saw the universe.
