Scientific Revolution Social Infrastructure

Scientific revolution social infrastructure is the source’s frame for why [[IsaacNewton|Isaac Newton / 牛顿]] should not be read only as isolated genius. In 26.牛顿与伪币制造者:可能是斯内普的原型?, Newton’s breakthroughs depend on accumulated navigation data, astronomy, geometry, mechanical philosophy, instrument-making, correspondence, [[RoyalSociety|Royal Society]] networks, and people such as [[EdmondHalley|Edmond Halley]], [[JohnLocke|John Locke]], [[RobertHooke|Robert Hooke]], [[RobertBoyle|Robert Boyle]], and [[ChristiaanHuygens|Christiaan Huygens]].

The concept does not reduce Newton’s originality. It says originality becomes historically possible and legible through shared problems, measurement systems, publication channels, instruments, and trusted evaluators. This keeps the wiki’s science-history branch away from both master worship and simple anti-genius leveling.
