Lol the only difference is marsh was right in his research and debunking his opponent while Edison we all know. Everyone of them was a great scientists tho.
The difference is both paleontologist are revered rightfully in their field; while Edison is responsible (directly or indirectly) for more practical and important inventions; while his opponent is extremely overated and half of the stories of his magnificent inventions were made up or exaggerated
@@jjOnceAgain Tesla was great scientist in his own right with making one of the most significant invention in modern times (The AC Current is the reason as to why we can use electricity to such a high degree of efficiency).

TBF, even scientists make mistakes, and prehistoric creatures weren't too well-known (anatomically speaking) since their fossilised remains were just being discovered. Besides, what modern day analogue do we have for these creatures, especially dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles? Not much. As a result, early reconstructions were what we now consider anatomically incorrect. For instance: one of the early reconstructions of Stegosaurus was depicted with an arched back.
Science is based on failure. As Popper stated, a theory is scientific as long as it can be proven false. Science is pretty much just an endless cycle of theories being proposed and either proven wrong by counterparts or remaining out there. It's an endless process of trial and error.
There's a pretty entertaining historical fiction book by Michael Crichton (or at least, allegedly edited from his manuscript and published posthumously) called Dragon Teeth.
@@grimaffiliations3671 and the other guy was the one who was committing bribery and intentionally embarrassing Cope the whole time.

Scientific Research and Publishing in a nutshell. You'd be surprised by the craziness happening behind the scenes: the tampering of data, the slide of quality in peer review, the bribery, the threats against junior assistants, the publication of objectionable theses...
@@axelpatrickb.pingol3228 Not at all.

I literally thought about this story's moral earlier today! I was learning about ancient languages that hadn't been decoded, and how many of the "scientists" who discovered them greedily stole the relics away, just so they could be the one to decipher it (The Rosetta Stone and Linear B specifically come to mind).

You'd hope we'd have grown since then, but then there's incidents like the Viktor Ninov scandal, the particle physics arms race, and the new space race we're dealing with still today, so...
As the mentor of a friend of mine once said a great scientist is ideally likeable, gets quick results, and is really good at what he or she does, but two out of three is usually enough to be successful. I guess we should add deep pockets to the list, at least for this era of discovery.

It’s called Dragon Teeth, and it delves into the Cope/Marsh rivalry and some western people alive and active at the time, including Wyatt Earp and Calamity Jane. It’s a really fun and interesting read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wow. Before even clicking on the link I was thinking of this feud specifically. A speaker at a natural history museum told us the story and it always bothered me that they were destroying fossils as part of their feud. I was so surprised when I nailed it. One thing we were told is that Marsh named coprolites after Cope as an insult and when you didn't mention it I got curious and looked into if there is any truth to that story. Turns out that it's a pretty common myth but just a myth and absolutely not true. Probably why you guys didn't mention it :p.
What I got out of this is that March was a ruthless very self centered individual, who didn't mind how many fossils were destroyed if nobody else got to publish about them.
I'm #12 and it's because i hate seeing 2 rich bastards wasting money on very petty things, including destroying invaluable samples just to sabotage another. Btw Marsh did well to refuse the brain-size challenge, it was probably tiny.
Some of the quarries Marsh supposedly had blown up where really just covered over, so the bones left behind are still there and hopefully we can get them. I also think it was Marsh who would name every single bone he had a new species, so he ended up naming something like 14 kinds fo triceratops but really we only have two (and maybe three)
Unable to cope up with the Bone Wars, Joseph Leidy, a man who followed more scientific and methodological quest for paleontological discoveries, abandoned the field all together. If interested, read more about him! ✨️
YOOO!!! Ohmhayghad I recognize this story!!! I read it in a old Dinosaur Book that my Mom bought for me when I was like 8 yrs old.. Damn what are the odds of bumping in this story again

I saw the title, and immediately went "that's got to be Marsh and Cope, right?" Funny that I feel like they are more famous for their rivalry than their science.
I will say, as far as rivalries go, this seems decently one-sided. Marsh had the money, the prestige, and the resources while Cope did not. However, I love the animation as usual!
![Quando Rondo - Grow Up [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8zFnCg3BO4Q/mqdefault.jpg)
This sounded less like a rivalry, and more like Marsh routinely wiping the floor with Cope
Exactly!
To be fair, several of the species Marsh named were not real species, many were just diferent individuals of the same creature
FALSTAFF !!!!
honestly
It was not nearly as one sided as this video claims
Is it only me who finds Cope "donating his brain to prove that he has larger mind" insanely hilarious?
