It is truly awesome, and due to the slower nature of science, it still makes sense to read a lot of the insightful articles. Just compare it with engadget or gizmodo, 5 years later they make not much sense to read except for nostalgia.
- jgrahamc 14y agoAgreed that reading old science stuff is fascinating. When I was researching The Geek Atlas I read a lot of original scientific papers and reports. Some of the best are the lectures given by Nobel Prize winners. For example, Chadwick's 1935 lecture on the discovery of the neutron is great: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1935/chadwick-lecture.html http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/193...
