A part of the HyperJeff Network. A collection of chronologies arranged by subjects. Also, there are some old History links. These timelines are under continual development by design. Studying the history of science is a life-long process, and making such maps help by providing a skeletal reference for these studies. I hope these can be of use to you, but a history timeline is no substitute for ...

Philosophy of Science A few miles farther on, we came to a big, gravelly roadcut that looked like an ashfall, a mudflow, glacial till, and fresh oatmeal, imperfectly blended. I don't know what this glop is, said, in final capitulation. You need a new geologist. You need a Californian. John McPhee, Assembling California, p. 11 Essays The Sin of Galileo Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) Exchange with ...

HAWKING: Although I'm regarded as a dangerous radical by particle physicists for proposing that there may be loss of quantum coherence, I'm definitely a conservative compared to Roger. I take the positivist viewpoint that a physical theory is just a mathematical model and that it is meaningless to ask whether it ...
