Scientists work everyday to solve the mysteries of the universe. Some of them go their whole careers without solving one freaking mystery. But others get lucky. Or they get creative and they find answers by trying stuff out. In science, we call this experimentation. So today we're gonna look at three biological experiments that changed the world. Number one: The Swan-Neck Flask Experiment. In 1862, Louis Pasteur set out to prove that living things did not spontaneously come into existence. They had to come from some other living thing. Now that seems like a no brainer to us but at the time most people believed in spontaneous generation; the idea that some kind of vital principle in the air caused life to just arise out of nothing.
