Redi And Pasteur’s Experiments: Contrasting Approaches To Germ Theory
Redi’s and Pasteur’s experiments differed significantly in their approaches. Redi relied on observation and logical reasoning, while Pasteur embraced the scientific method with controlled experiments. Redi used open and sealed jars to show that maggots developed from flies, while Pasteur’s swan-necked flasks prevented external contamination, proving that spontaneous generation did not occur. Redi’s work supported…
