1940s

This dimension groups scientific theories by the era in which they were first proposed. Wikipedia notes that "as additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be modified and ultimately rejected if it cannot be made to fit the new findings," a process of revision that has unfolded differently in every era of science. Browsing by proposed era lets a visitor compare theories that arose in the same period.
