No disrespect to those who do original research, however it seems that these images, made freely available to hundreds and thousands of people seeking to educate themselves, contribute more to the advancement of human knowledge than all but the most important published theorems.
- reikonomusha 9y agoI’m not sure there’s a point to rank either, but it is certainly true that research and education are both complementary and monumentally important for the advancement of knowledge.
- underwoodley 9y agoI guess my point is just that the utility of this kind of work seems undervalued in comparison to people proving endless minor theorems in little-read papers, which gets romanticized as 'finding out stuff no-one has ever known before'
- joemi 9y agoIf not for the research, though, there'd be nothing that needed explaining through illustration.
