I don't see a compelling reason to connect most of those events. I know in particular that the French Revolution was more inspired by advances in physiology and not physics through the physiocrats.

the political and scientific events don't have to be connected to each other, it's only insofar as they happen at the same time. Althusser's point is not that they are connected necessarily, just that whenever you get major advances in one, the other two are usually not far behind.

Their are major definable political events over the course of any lifetime, and science is always moving forward with new discoveries, this could be done for any philosopher as convincingly as the ones cherry picked in the picture. I mean hell the last one just says "developments in technology"
