This is just not the case. When Schrodinger proposed the wave equation it did not take long to become commonly accepted. It didn't even take long for Einstein 's theory of relativity to be accepted by the scientific community either, even though the implications of that theory sound completely insane to human intuition.

It took longer for Darwin's theories to be generally accepted, though, and somehow some people still won't acknowledge them.
