When was Peak Science? Separated by different disciplines.

(eg. Peak Microsoft was in 2001 with Windows XP)

Theoretical astronomy
1982 Slow roll cosmic Inflation
(since then, observation has preceded theory)

Observational astronomy – Nominations
1995 Pillars of creation
1998 Dark Energy
2000 Hipparcos/Gaia/Tycho-2 (distance to the stars)
2004 Hubble deep field/Ultra-deep/GOODS
2005 Discovery of Eris & Sedna
2006 COBE/WMAP/Planck
2010 Kepler’s new planets
2013 Luhman 16 and planet (new nearby star system)
2013 Mars Rovers
2022 Milky Way’s black hole

Geography
2001 Google Earth

Molecular biology – theory
2010 DNA D-loop replication (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bee6PWUgPo8)

Molecular biology – experiment
2012 CRISPR
2014 Nanopore sequencing machine

Chemistry
1985 Buckyball

Geology
2014 Silicate perovskite mineral in the lower mantle

Biology
1977 Discovery of Archaea

Taxonomy
(Not reached peak yet)

Climate science
2004 IPCC Kobe science report
(quality has gone downhill since then, eg. the rejection of the physics connecting CO2 to global warming)

Newtonian physics
1823 Fresnel equations
1850 Navier-Stokes equations
1863 Maxwell’s equations

Subatomic physics
1977 Bottom quark
2001 Neutrino oscillation confirmed
(Top quark and Higgs were pretty much a given)

Actually we’re just getting started…

How do scientists reject the physics connecting CO2 to global warming?

But more in the spirit of the thread:

Structural mechanics physics:
1750 Euler–Bernoulli beam theory

The same Bernoulli who’s theory describes how a wing gets lift?

I don’t know, but pretty sure they’d at least be in the same family.

Good to see there’s at least more than 1 female STEMistineeratician in all that, the non male representation is greater than 2% ¡
