Spreading the brand: “Taking up Space”

Somebody who organizes a conference in London this summer was sufficiently inspired by the name of this blog that they decided to name their conference after it: “Taking up Space” is their not very original homage to this blog. We at Taking up Spacetime wish them a productive conference!

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were alphainventions.com, philosophy.ucsd.edu, soulphysics.org, digg.com, and Google Reader.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for taking up spacetime, logic methodology and philosophy of science, what is structure, itamar pitowsky, and robert batterman.
