, he was familiar with virtually all the contemporary Western academic knowledge at that point in history. Clearly this can never be verified, and other claimants to this title are Gottfried Leibniz, Leonardo da Vinci, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Francis Bacon, among others. Young also wrote about various subjects to contemporary editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. His learning was so prodigious in scope and breadth that he was popularly known as "Phenomenon Young." : \*\[*read more...*\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Young_%28scientist%29\]\* h2. {color:#000}Quote{color} \!Nuvola apps edu languages.png\!right\|44px\|Quotation\]\] "It is by no means an idle game if we become practiced in analysing long-held commonplace concepts and showing the circumstances on which their justification and usefulness depend..." ��� \_Albert Einstein\_ h2. {color:#000}Related schools{color} \| style="width:50%;align:center;" \| \| \| style="width:50%;align:center;" \| \| \|\| \*\[*Chemical Engineering*\|http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Topic:Chemical_Engineering\]\* \|\| \*\[*Materials Science*\|http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Topic:Materials_Science_and_Engineering\]\* \|\| \| style="width:50%;align:center;" \| \| \| style="width:50%;align:center;" \| \| \*\[*Engineering Discussions*\|http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Engineering_Discussions\]\* \|\| \*\[*Mechanical Engineering*\|http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Topic:Mechanical_Engineering\]\* \| h2. {color:#000}MIT DMSE Core Classes Fall Semester{color} \!P literature.png\!right\|60px\|History\]\] This wiki about Materials Science began in fall 2006, and initial contributions were related to coursework at MIT.
