The Map of Modern Science
To explore the larger map click on the image.
Click on the map/image above to go to a wonderful piece of work from Crispian Jago. He rather immodestly describes it as:
500 Years of Science, Reason & Critical Thinking via the medium of gross over simplification, dodgy demarcation, glaring omission and a very tiny font.
Not fair at all. He’s set it out a little better here:
The map primarily includes modern scientists who have made significant advances to our understanding of the world, however I have also included many present day scientists who fuel a passion for, and advances in, science through communication and science popularisation.
It’s a patient piece of work linking theories and discoveries and scientific journeys and it’s only partly finished. if you have a mind to explore it and look for ommissions or problems you can help Jago improve it. Contact him through this post.
Mapping is often used in science. At www.mapsofscience.com they connect ideas and articles, or here they connect disciplines.
