    Newton really was a true genius. Calculus was one of the most brilliant accomplishments of human intellect, and tons of stuff today is built on top of it or uses ideas from it. Like Einstein just in a league of his own.

      +Samurai Jack And where is the evidence of this? Random philosophical musings about reality aren't discoveries. The advancements in math, and their usage in understanding reality, are _thee_ major breakthroughs.
      Here is a quote from the Indian who talked about gravity : "we say that the earth on all its sides is the same; all people on the earth stand upright, and all heavy things fall down to the earth by a law of nature, for it is the nature of the earth to attract and to keep things, as it is the nature of water to flow, that of fire to burn, and that of the wind to set in motion."
      This isn't some groundbreaking discovery, it is basic philosophy that uses simple logic.The earth is the same on all sides, people stand upright, heavy things fall, etc. These are basic observations.
      When Newton published his book Principia Mathematica, there were only a few humans alive at the time that could understand it. Like Tyson' said, Newton discovered the laws of motion, the laws of gravity, and the laws of optics. Then he turned 26. He didn't just point out obvious logic, he used his mind to invent the mathematics that explains these things, which is beyond absurd.

      Highly advanced knowledge of the cosmos and reality? Are you fucking kidding me? In comparison to what we know now? LOL The precursors to calculus are 4,000 years old, and those Indian findings pale in comparison to the work of Newton. Indian astronomy borrowed a lot from the Greeks, but who gives a shit about these works from the past? This is all basic shit, and isn't even in the same solar system as Isaac Newton. Read your original comment: "Except Calculus, along with Laws of Motion, Theory of Gravity and Planetary Motion were one of the many advancements discovered much earlier in Ancient India." Those weren't comprehensive theories of gravity, or laws of motion... Holy Fuck, they are basic observations, and a bunch of data tracking from the sky. Newton didn't make simple observations about the motions of planets, he literally probed into the nature of reality, and created extremely advanced work to explain it mathematically. Do you seriously just search for random articles and information to form a worldview that makes you feel good about your culture? These things aren't even close to being on the same level, and you are lying by calling them laws and theories, especially since we are in the 21st century.

Einstein need his mathematician wife to provide the proof for this theory of relativity. NASA and co use Newton's laws to send rockets and probes to the Moon and planets of the solar system, they do not use Einstein's theories. Einstein's theory itself does not work in Black holes. Einstein had the advantage of Newton's work and 300 years advancement in science and technology but his contributions are negligible compared to Newton's. The vast majority of engineering - civil, aero, chemical, mechanical are heavily founded on Newton's work. If you have a degree in engineering you would know this.

    Isaac Newton was one of the greatest geniuses of all time but let's not forget that Gottfried Leibniz deserves a lot of credit for inventing Calculus as well. The evidence shows that they both independently discovered/invented the same methods albeit from different approaches. Leibniz made along with the techniques themselves significant contributions to the notation used in Calculus. So while Tyson is correct in saying Newton Invented Calculus, it is also correct to say that Leibniz invented a good portion of it. Both incredible minds.

      Tyson's timeline is completely addled. Halley asked his famous question in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s.
      When it comes to calculus both Newton and Leibniz built on the extensive efforts of Fermat, Kepler, Descartes, Wallis, Barrow and other men.
      This part of Tyson's wrong history is actually flattering to Newton. He has Isaac doing decades of collaborative efforts in just two months.
      But he uses this to set up his Slander against Isaac Newton.

    Newton developed his calculus ideas during his annus mirabilis was in 1666. Edmund Halley posed his question in 1684 when Newton was in his early 40s. Very obviously Newton didn't invent calculus because of Halley's dare.
    So what prompted him? Maybe it was Newton's Cambridge colleague Isaac Barrow. Barrow, Fermat, Gregory, Cavalieri and others had developed calculus in the generation before Newton. Developing calculus was the collaborative effort of many people over many years.
    12:18 -- Tyson tells Colbert Newton did it all by himself. Tyson drops one steaming pile after another.
    Nor did Newton discover the laws of optics. He split light and recombined it, yes. But there are many laws of optics discovered by many different people.

    If you don't value Newton's theological thinking that gave him the psychological profile for his science then you don't really love Issac. You are misinterpreting the real Issac Newton, who was more than a scientist. You don;t have to share his theology, but clearly see its effect on his motives for working in science.

    • @HopDavid
      @HopDavid Месяц назад

      Tyson has said he wouldn't want Newton in his lab because those who believe in intelligent design do not search for answers.
      Isaac searched for and found many answers. Neil, on the other hand, has done nothing.
      Neil gives a timeline where Newton did all his world changing accomplishments single handedly in the space of two months, on a dare. And then he turned 26. But after that, according to Tyson, Newton just stopped. Tyson tells us that Newton stopped when he ceded his brilliance to God. "He was kind of no good any more".
      Tyson's timeline is completely wrong. It took Newton 12 years to work out that inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws. He was in his mid 30s when he made his break through. Newton's calculus work was built on the efforts of Fermat, Descartes, Cavalieri, Kepler, Wallis, Gregory, Barrow and others. It most certainly was not something Newton did all by himself.
      Halley's so called "dare" was made in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s. Seven years after Newton worked out planetary orbits and nearly two decades after his calculus work.
      I have been trying to make Tyson's incorrect history and his slander against Newton more widely known.

Instead it just falls through it like a knife through hot butter as if there was never a bottom portion there to begin with
