it makes me so mad that since photons were proven to exist people are like “see !! newton was right all along !!” like . no . h e wasnt right , corpuscolar theory of light is nothing but a neat trick to explain high level geometrical optics . photons are not , never were , corpuscles . fuarrrk you newton i hate you i hate you

@shroomie he was a creep and a weirdo not in the good way and also cult of personality of scientists sucks especially when it regards a averagely proficient physicist as the God of the Universe

@fiore oh alright lol, i’ve always known him as “the mean egotistical antisocial guy who came up with a pretty good framework for understanding physics that, while not a completely true description of things, it’s good for doing all the bits that aren’t too complicated” lol

@shroomie nono dont get me wrong newtonian mechanics is great and saying that it only works for the stuff that isnt complicated is a huge understatement . it is a true description of certain things , like every other physics theoretical framework . but like . F=ma is one thing . saying that he invented calculus and physics is a whole different story lmao

like .. he didnt ? he basically had nothing to do with the way we do calculus today , and physics existed way before him , while the kind of physics we do wouldnt come around until much later

the dude was still writing treaties about the angels pushing planets and shit like that (this last part is an exxaggeration but you get the point )

also he had very very weird takes on women !! no wonder he died a virgin i suppose

incel king newton
