How did others feel about wegeners hypothesis?

Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was met with significant skepticism and resistance from many in the scientific community during his time. Critics argued that he lacked a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move, leading to widespread dismissal of his ideas. However, over time, as more evidence emerged and the theory of plate tectonics developed, Wegener's hypothesis gained acceptance and is now recognized as a foundational concept in geology.
