During discussions while building this site the editors frequently asked themselves: "Yes, but what is the basis of this technology". To answer this they decided to create some pages that would explain the sciences that were the foundations of inventions and discoveries.

This section is gradually being build up, and will not be finished in several years to come.

Go to the sciences index

What will you find there?

Information on mathematical principles used in the timeline and other section

Basic explanations on principles to make things work as they do

Physical principles and explanations on things we take for granted

Chemical principles and how or what substances were needed to create computers

All other scientific knowledge you might need to understand the principles of computing
