timelinescience - One Thousand Years of Scientific Thought
http://www.timelinescience.org/index.php
"The timeline has been produced to celebrate 1000 years of
scientific thought in the period 1000 to 2000. During this period
our understanding of the world has changed completely - from
unquestioning belief in religious teachings to a demand that
knowledge should be based on observations and tested by
experiment. The timeline provides a way of exploring this change
in our way of understanding the world."
"Each part of the timeline covers a different period. . . At the
top of the page for each time period . . . is 'Setting the
scene' [on] a yellow background. . . [which provides] some
general information about the ideas
and events of the time. . . Underneath the scene-setting text is
. . . 'The science', [in] green . . . [which] provides details
of important scientific ideas, people, events and inventions of
the period. . . 'Signs
of the times' - Each period also has a link to a page which
provides a broader commentary on the events and ideas of the
period. " - from the website
