    "One transmutable substance", ie Timing-spacing sync connection-> material condensed metastable matter, containment by logarithmic time-timing substantion, which is why he is the "First Scientist", in Principle.
    Meaning that Fluxions are the actual truth of QM-TIME sync-duration connectivity in flat-space ground state Origin of Singularity-point Superspin Modulation positioning Perspective, and Integration is the probabilistic shape of point-positioning Singularity vanishing point-zero-infinity containment Holographic Principle Imagery by projection-drawing methodology. The combination is e-Pi-i functional unity +/- Calculus of timing Actuality.
    So Newton was "spot on" regarding Corpuscular Spinfoam-pulse bubble-modes of quanta, not only for light however.., and the idea of a Gravitational AEther is a reasoning by default equivalent of Black Hole Singularity location in Eternity-now non location reciprocal wave-packaging holographic Actuality.
    Act-uality => Intuition of the whole process that is infinitely distributed, "laws of Gravity", in imaginary projection-drawing, by thinking-without-ceasing, e-Pi-i sync-duration function. Closely related to "Descartes Vortices", waiting for Henri Bergson observations.., and Einsteinian rates of propagation Curvatures.

    Aside from them facts. Newton was very concerned about doing the right thing, moral values, or being Virtuous And He wasn't money hungry ,Or chasing fame. It came as a consequence Of his great work. So I ask you, who is more likely to steal someone's work , Newton or Mr. L. ?

    No Scientific mind but Newton was able to expand the mind of Man by introducing man a peek inside the infinite mind of God.
    To deny God in search for Truth in Science denies the infinite, therefore denying a reason to ever question the science or search deeper for Truth.

      I'm not sure quite what context you're looking for but this is an excerpt from "The Age of Lous XIV" by Will Durant, 1963. The recording was produced by Tooks on Tape Inc and it is narrated by Alexander Adams. This recording is from 2001 (although the audio quality is just the same as their recording of the first book in the series from 1994).

    Why do we call: Newton 1st and 2nd of motion, if they, as you told, had been proposed by Galileo one generation before?
    The same happens on calculus, it was told by Newton's teacher, Barrow, to Newton and Leibniz, and that Leibniz who clearly exexplained in dy/dx and sum of dy. He touched students and grand students were Bernoulli, Euler..., who was Newton's pupil?

    We love in an electric universe!
    The center of our galaxy is a double torus magnet.
    The 240,000 year rotation of the galactic bulge regulates the intensity of EM energy our Sun solar system receives.
    The galactic Milankovitch cycles cause our Climate Cycles.
    We go from Aphelion ice to Perihelion tropical age every 60,000 years in accordance with the rotation of the galactic bulge.
    Every 12,000 years our solar system eclipses crosses over our galaxies electromagnetic gravitational plane my lky way for a 1,000 years resetting the planet with EMP pillars of fire, Oort cloud comet impacts and global east to west cataclysmic tsunamis that wash over the continents and freeze into the continental glaciers lowering sea levels.
    Magnetic north changes in accordance with the rotation of the galactic bulge.
    Newton's laws.
    Welcome to the END TIMES.
    Peace be with you, my peace I give you.
    We are in the END TIMES.
    Grade 5 science could debunk CO2 caused climate cycles.
    Temp is rising first and co2 follows.
    Cause and effect.
    Earth is a closed loop that self regulates co2 by combining co2 with h20 to capture the electromagnetic energy of the galactic nucleus via the sun.
    The galactic Milankovitch cycles cause our Climate Cycles of Ice age tropical age in accordance with the 240,000 year rotation of the galactic bulge.
    But the really inconvenient truth about the galactic Milankovitch cycles causing our climate cycles is the 26,000 year Precession cycle because every 12 the millennia our solar system eclipses our galaxies electromagnetic gravitational plane milky way causing the END TIMES for the unlucky 13 th millennia it takes to cross the galactic plane.
    Jesus warned us with the 7 north stars of the Precession can clean he held on his hand and the reference to 1 year is but a 1,000 or something like that.
    Covid like co2 is a comfortable LIE built upon yet another inconvenient truth.
    The baby boomers who were born enmass 75 years ago are starting to die en mass from the usual suspects of seasonal FLU which leads to Pneumonia and old age. Add in a lot of propaganda and voila Covid 1984 in these the END TIMES.
    The mask of the beast to buy or sell is a pretext for the depopulation FINAL SOLUTION heavy metal vaccine combined with 5G.
    It takes 10 years to develop a vaccine IF and only IF you can isolate the virus.
    Don't let the evil ones divide and conquer humanity by race, creed or religion. BLM/ALM.
