Agree. I would add too, it seems likely that James Burke more or less created the idea too of connectedness across disciplines, historical events, etc. as opposed to the linear, "homo-disciplinary" approach we were used to. Or at least he brought the idea to the masses in a compelling way.

Is there a name for this idea?

Idk, interdisciplinary?

That word alone doesn’t quite capture the narrative of science as something non-linear, meandering and somewhat accidental.
