Karl Pearson

    Karl Pearson fu un influente matematico inglese che stabilì la disciplina della statistica matematica. Il suo primo lavoro esplorò il concetto di relatività, speculando su temi come l'antimateria e la quarta dimensione, sottolineando che le leggi naturali sono relative alla percezione dell'osservatore. La filosofia di Pearson, che postula che la scienza sia una classificazione dei contenuti della mente, ha sostenuto molti metodi statistici classici ancora oggi in uso.
