/sci/ - Science & Math

In the past, most people were dumb.
FACT.

>>1113808
uh, kind of.

Newton was genius - read Einstein. Einstein approves Newton.

0/10

What the fuck am I reading?
Oh , I was going to feed the obvious troll =)
Don't post in this piece of shit

Newton got lucky

Stop idolizing people so much.

Even the greatest geniuses in one aspect can be utterly retarded in another. See: pascal's wager

from wiki:
>Newton's scientific work may have been of lesser personal importance to him, as he placed emphasis on rediscovering the occult wisdom.
how fuckin stupid was he? the occult please, its all fairy tell non-scientific bullshit, amiright?

>>1113817
>>1113825
Hmm, you're misusing "0/10" and "WTF am I reading".

Being the greatest genius who ever lived is not proof of sanity.

if only he knew science... maybe that would clear his full-of-shit head.

Must have been a wig made with some psychoactive substances.

That made him do science.

'I'm >>1113858)

Seriously, Newton's irrationality is a cautionary tale for true /sci/ducks. We may be blinded by some foolish beliefs that will be considered foolish only in the 22th century.
Newton IS the greatest physicist who has ever lived, hence we better take this seriously.

It's REALLY easy to turn out retarded if you're not brought up with science. He was no more wrong about reality than any religious person is today. Back then, no one was really educated well scientifically, so they all developed stupid beliefs.

>Newton

>retarded

>lucky

Kids these days, get the fuck out and show some respect, we arent even the 1% of the genius Newton
was.

>>1113902
yea he was such a fool

its not his fault he had retarded ideas, back then science wasnt that popular, hence ppl were stupid.

>>1113901
yes, because you spoke to him and knew him personally right?

Newton for understood how the light works put probe(made of ivory) to his eye and pressured with it to back side of eye so he saw bright multicoloured picture and so he understood that light pressure on retina.

>implying that the whole 20th century wasn't about unfucking Kant's false sense of rationality

>>1113859
>Implying he's even top ten

>>1113946
what has that do with anything?

>>1113795
>It's REALLY easy to turn out arrogantly foolish if you're not matured religiously.

Most of your arguments are moot given you don't quite know what religion really is yet something I surely don't reciprocate with science.

>>1113953

-.-

>>1113795

I'm beginning to suspect Newton's life was one big lie interspersed with plaigerism.

>>1113795

So let me see.

What do you people know that Newton didn't?
What makes you so sure you know best?

Y'all aint got shit on Newton

He gave a formula for MOTHERFUCKING GRAVITY

We use that shit to get stuff into space, not general relativity, you hear me?

>>1114037
ITS A CONSPIRACY !!!1111

>>1114044
how do i know? Please; magic and ghosts? thats just fuckin stupid.

Magic exists. Your definition is flawed.

>>1114058

And you are aspiring to become a scientist?

magic is real? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>/sci/ what do you think about newtons occult research, how much retard he was, i mean believe in magic, thats just stupid, so he must have been an idiot, amiright?

Judging by this post, I think you may be a retard, but Newton sure as hell wasn't.

Mindset back then

"All this shit everybody's talking about, think I'll better do some research and look more into it"

Mindset today

"What? If it's not in textbooks, it's bullshit and not worth my time"

>Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is the practice of consciousness manipulation and/or autosuggestion to achieve a desired result, usually by techniques described in various conceptual systems.
Magic exists. Programmers conjure the spirits of the computer with their spells.

sage

>>1113934
Did you pass that through a translator 50 times? Please, stop posting. Your post gave me a headache.

>>1114182
fuckin miracles

>Implying you would know shit without the internet

>>1114146
0/10

>>1114005
Why should he be?

>>1114226
You're misusing "0/10", but I guess that's the mark of the sightless kind of /sci/fag.

in 400 years they will be laughing at us about string theory. Magic seemed viable back then, so of course a scientist would want to understand it.

>>1114182
>implying writing programs is magic

>>1114258
ofcorz its not viable now; it cant be, right?
they obviously would tell you if it was.

>>1114269
Just because we understand it doesn't mean it's not magic. We understand computer programs even though we use them in the same way as magic spells were imagined back in the day.

>>1114329
yes it does means precisely that; its not some magic shit that makes the computer run.

>>1114364
You act like a sorcerer would not understand the spells he is casting. That's just silly.

you act like sorcery was real

>>1114390
Fine. You act like a HYPOTHETICAL sorcerer would not understand the HYPOTHETICAL spells he is HYPOTHETICALLY casting.

I thought I could leave out the qualifiers because I assumed a reasonably basic intelligence in you, but I will take care not to make that mistake again.

>>1113795
So?
The not-stupid stuff is much more important.
