I'm talking about observations which don't 'fit' in normal scientific theory. Back in the Middle Ages, argue that the sun is the center of the universe...that didn't fit into the theories back than.
Another example: Earth curst displacement and the movement of the poles, this used to be absolute nonsense some time ago but now is approved scientific knowledge, what if scientists had approved that theory already back than, where would we have been now (on a scientific level)?

for example einstein could not believe that "god plays dice" as he described quantum physics and now we know that god does roll them bones(quantum physics is accepted as true). However how do we know for sure that it is true?The answer is we cannot, that is why we must constantly think and reflect and find new and better explanations.
observations that don't fit into the normal scientific theory not only they don't hinder science, but actually give it a boost. if you find something contradicts with your theory it is obvious it is wrong or insuficiently developed and you should rethink it.
