There's something I really like about how, in the sciences, so many things get named after people from so many different cultures that you're routinely introduced to new names just from reading about stuff
Like, reading about chemistry and you come across the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Who (in the english-speaking world) had ever heard the names Belousov or Zhabotinsky before learning about that? Or in physics, Faddeev-Popov ghosts. Or Zermelo-Frenkel set theory in mathematics.
