The Philosophical Breakfast Club: four remarkable friends who transformed science and changed the world

Abstract

If the flap of a butterfly's wing can be projected to affect the course of a subsequent hurricane, then certainly the life and actions of any human being can be somehow related to all future human events. Faced with the challenge of developing the links between ideas and inventions, the historian must decide on some criteria, however arbitrary, to distinguish between the level of potential influence precedent actions had on antecedent.
