Talk:Scientific phenomena named after people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd assumed that Clarke orbit (Arthur C. Clarke) should not be classified as a phenomenon, but I see that Kuiper belt is listed and I wouldn't call that a phenomenon either. Therefore, adding Clarke orbit to the list. -- 21 december 2005
- The list also includes non-phenomena, such as mathematical concepts. It should probably be broken up or renamed. The distinction between "phenomena" and "scientific phenomena" eludes me, but mathematical concepts (theorems, probability distributions, etc.) certainly deserve a separate list.
