Periodic table

The periodic table was a list of elements.

According to the Fourth Doctor, the periodic table was first published in 1872 and had many scientific revelations in it. When archaeologist Horace Stockwood wasn't familiar with it, the Doctor stated that "anyone who claims to be a scientist and who hasn't heard of the periodic table is not so much walking as crawling - rather rapidly back into the Dark Ages."

In the 1955, ten-year-old Henry Bergson wanted a chemistry set for Christmas but his father didn't believe in him and claimed he couldn't afford it. In this timeline, Henry Bergson ended up homeless by 1975 but could still remember every component of the set, including a poster of the periodic table. The Seventh Doctor and his companions altered the timeline by giving Henry the chemistry set as a child, leading to him becoming an important biologist whose research defeated a Kellenian invasion of Earth.
