What if Issac Newton was killed as a child?

>>	Jim Profit Thu Oct 25 21:39:54 2012 No.5193298 Then he'd be Isaac Deadton

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 21:41:39 2012 No.5193306 then everything would be floating because gravity wouldn't be invented

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 21:44:39 2012 No.5193316 >>5193285 Then we would used Leibniz's works.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 21:53:54 2012 No.5193342 Modern physics wont be as we know it. Also no calculus for a long while after then. Basically, you know how we're in 2012? Physics would be in 1950.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 22:23:09 2012 No.5193399 >>5193342 Physics outside of government/military labs IS in 1950, retard.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 22:29:24 2012 No.5193413 By now, things wouldn't be much different. Even Newton wasn't more than a cog in the machine. Nothing he did was anything someone else wouldn't have done soon after.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 22:32:09 2012 No.5193422 >>5193399 perhaps applied physics. You'd have to be an idiot to say that about experimental or theoretical though. nah, you'd have to be an idiot to say that about applied as well

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 22:39:24 2012 No.5193434 >>5193342 >Also no calculus for a long while after then It's a shame kids don't learn history these day... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz The original inventor of calculus.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 25 22:39:24 2012 No.5193436 >>5193342 wtf. foundations of calculus were known to many different scientists/mathematicians working either together or unaware of each other in the same century or two. this is wrong.
