19th century

This dimension groups scientists by the era in which they worked. Wikipedia notes that "it was not until the 19th century that the term scientist came into regular use," a term coined long after many of the people the atlas now calls scientists had already done their work. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare scientists active in the same period.
