The Map of Critical Thinking and Modern Science

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-would-take-awhile dept.

Jamie noticed an interesting map of critical thinking and science done in a sort of subway style. You can track Newton and Einstein and Tesla and so on. It's actually pretty interesting to navigate.

    I tried using my iPhone's Map app's "use current location" feature, but instead of placing me somewhere on that map of critical thinking and science it took me back here to /.

    Do all destinations in this map equal 42?

    Bugs Bunny pops up between George Gamow and Robert Oppenheimer. He looks left, looks right then throws down his carrot.

    - (looking at the drawing) Wow, you must have a lot of free time to do something like this.
    - No, I'm usually quite busy. I just set aside half and hour every other day for a few months to work on it, and when it was nearly completed, I finished it up last Sunday night, after the century bike tour.
    - Well, that's just amazing, it must take a lot of discipline to - Wow Hey! A double rainbow! (points up, then delivers a suckerpunch and runs off.)

    I hadn't realized the gravity of Newton's interest in Alchemy. Putting Thomas Edison on a branch of the Theoretical Physics and QM Line was enlightening. Also interesting that biology does not seem to have acquired any characteristics from Lamark. Jared Diamond's work has too many facets to be relegated to just the Evolutionary Biology line. And I thought the whole project kinda bombed after I noticed that they had left off Andrei Sakharov.

    I'll stop now.
