This is brilliant
A 1939 map of physics, which lays out famous physicists and their fields of study, including: Mechanics, Sound, Electricity, Magnetism, Light, Astronomy, Heat, Mechanical and Elecromagnetic Energy, and Radioactivity. Check out the text under the Darkness peninsula:
Coming to be
Ceasing to be
Was and
Has been
If you take some time really look at this thing, it starts to make a lot of sense. You can see how different fields are related, and how particular people influenced several areas of study. From Big Think: “Some names appear more than once: Newton appears on the banks of the river leading from Light to Electromagnetic Energy, on the opposite bank of Huygens; but also between Hooke and Leibniz, on the shores of the stream between Astronomy and Mechanical Energy.”
Go explore this one, everybody. I’m going to have to add it to the list of posters I need for my office walls.
