Field (legacy)

This dimension names the field a scientist is remembered for even when their own career spanned much more. Wikipedia notes that Thales "was arguably the first scientist for describing how cosmic events may be seen as natural, not necessarily caused by gods," a single insight that defines his legacy above all else. Browsing this way collects every scientist remembered chiefly for the same field.

Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science and physical science. Life science is alternatively known as biology, and physical science is subdivided into branches: physics, chemistry, astronomy and Earth science.
