Wow. he invented calculus? big deal. I learnt that shit when I was 16 and i found it easy as fuck.

>imbecile

he wasn't an imbecile and apple never fell on his head. that's just a myth propagated by idiots who don't know shit.

if you want dirt on Newton, this is the only one I have on him: he never had sex. he died a virgin.

at that time, every scientist was. einstein didn't think quantum mechanics was correct or that black holes existed. your point?

I'm sure 200 years from now people will be mocking weird shit we believe to be true today.

An apple fell on his head when he was fucking a girl up against a tree.

In the height of his passion, he was momentarily confused about which way was up and was struck by the thought that the apple was also attracted to the girl, just as he was, or to him, as she was.

They were role-playing. He was calling her "Venus", and she was calling him "Apollo".

The rest is history.

There were, of course, copious amounts of drugs involved, which was the whole point of alchemy at the time.

apple never fell on his head
apple falling from a tree didn't immediately inspire him to create theory of gravity
he never fucked a girl
you're a terrible troll
