As much as we in hindsight laugh at Newton's obsession with alchemy and the occult, back then his obsession with maths & physics would have been considered equally weird and crazy - that's how much religion dominated things. Be under no doubt, despite his (modern day) fantastical interests the guy was an absolute genius - a pioneer of his time who saw things that no other man could even contemplate and along with a few others (Faraday, Maxwell, Einstein, Darwin) - has gone to change the progress of humanity.

Mathematics is the language used by Science. It is amazing to know that a Mathematician like Newton can perfectly say/construct the Three laws of Motion and the Universal Law of Gravitation. The appearance of Liebniz as another inventor of Calculus would make us see that no one has a monopoly of knowledge. The knowledge that one can discover today is open to be discovered by anyone, maybe at the same instant that we are discovering ours.

correct me if I am wrong, but from my knowledge the concept binary and grouping everything in the world into twos (on/off, up/down) was thought up by George Boole at University College Cork, and with it Boolean algebra consistent of AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR scenarios in logic, which can be applied to logic gates, which is used in the digital world.

I salute Isaacs Newton, He is so brave for wanting almost to understand everything even though Newton's dad died and her mother remarried, he pursue to study and manage to finished his study. And yet after a years of his graduation he develop the 7 invisible color of light. No wonder, how great he is!

Quick note that we learned later that we mispronounced -Principia- and have corrected it in subsequent episodes. WHOOPS! We actually had Allison Marsh, our consultant in the room for a later shoot and we were all very embarrassed. Thanks for understanding: )

New Years Eve, 1666.
-Here's to another terrible year friend! -
-Oh no, was it a bad one for you? -
-Yea, whole family died from the London fire or plague. How about you? -
-It was all right, discovered gravity, invented calculus and the theory of colors-.

i think it's funny that english speaking people now use the -german- leibniz notation whereas in my experience, german students are taught calculus either in the -english- newton or the lagrange notation

That-s what-s missing in science these days. Not that the occult or alchemy has scientific veracity, but the artist and mystical elements can promote alternative ways of seeing the universe

Imagine being in a position where the current well understood maths of the day don't support your theories so you just INVENT A NEW MATH, not a formula, AN ENTIRE BRANCH OF MATH.

While Isaac Newton was lying and sticking daggers in Leibniz
And hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business
The universe is infinite, but this battle is finished
