The Map of Physics

I love it. Very succinct. Extraordinary to realise how much we know, but what a tiny proportion that is of what there is to know.

super nice figure.

love this

statistical mechanics?

can I use it as my laptop wallpaper? even I think sticking it on the cover, too :)

Many thanks!

nice good work
thanks

what are the tools you did for those beautiful maps? Thank a lot!

Great summary!

How to download it??

Can we use these posters for school? And can you upload its newer version on the redbubble.com? Finally, many thanks.

Physicist, artist, and all-around Renaissance man Bern Porter drew up a map of physics in 1939. It was cited and reproduced in the January 2019 issue of Physics Today (p. 30-37), as representing an outmoded view of physics, before the advent and rise of condensed matter physics (via solid state physics).

The map was also printed as a frontispiece to one of the bestselling physics textbooks co-authored by Marsh White (College Technical Physics, i believe, from McGraw-Hill).

Bern Porter had quite a history and along career, particularly in the arts, during his 93-year-long life. During World War II he had a small role in the Manhattan Project (he found out what it was for the day after the bomb was used on Hiroshima) and later in the Apollo Project. Meanwhile he claimed to have invented mail art, hung out in Gertrude Stein's salon in Paris, befriended and then published Henry Miller and Anais Nin, and went on to a long career as an avant-garde artist with "found poems" and many other projects.
