today was "Isaac Newton" Birthday.

the only person who discovered gravity, by the use of failing down an apple mystery.

Happy Birthday "Isaac Newton"!

and Google logo was really beautiful today. Link

I say he practically invented science. I worship him.

He didn't discover gravity. It was already known, and Kepler had already speculated that it was responsible for the motion of the planets.

What Newton did with regards to gravity to tie it to mass: universal gravitation and, by extension, the laws of motion.

Which still deserves a round of applause. It's not like it's miniscule to the act of discovering gravity. Without him relating it to mass and coming up with equations, we wouldn't have invented space craft, and most of the things we use today wouldn't be.

Meh. Newton didn't exist in a bubble. He existed in the single most productive scientific society--Protestant Europe of the 17th and 18th centuries--the world had would see until the dawn of the information age.

Individuals get far too much credit for scientific developments that were very much a group effort.

Applause tp newton for His Scientific Achievements...
