His humanity and his vanity only makes his work even more legendary. Dude had family issues and still found a way to screw engineering students with calculus; that's determination!

If you havent ever read Principia Mathematica, no matter if you are good in mathematics/physics its more than worth reading it. His observations and how he was seeing and understood the world around him, is beyond mind blowing.... His brain was on completely different level, its astonishing.

"There is a thin line between genius and madness" And you have to live on that line to be able to turn a mad idea into true science.

A quart mug is a type of drinking vessel that has a capacity of one quart, or 32 fluid ounces, which is equivalent to four cups or two pints. This unit of measurement is commonly used in the United States and is sometimes used to serve beer or other beverages in pubs or restaurants. The size of a quart mug can vary depending on the specific design, but it typically has a wide, rounded shape with a handle for easy drinking. In fact, Isaac Newton's mother famously claimed that his head could fit inside a quart mug.

It is a small miracle, that he lived that long with that much heavy metal in his body.

[malverdeislove]

I never get tired of hearing that Isaac Newton was a fan of heavy metal. 🤘

The thing about alchemy is that, yes, it was literal in the sense that they were trying to turn base metals into gold, which would have undermined the ‘system’ but it is also metaphorical: if we are able to learn the secrets of life and reality, that would also undermine the system, in a much more fundamental way. I would argue that mysticism is much more dangerous to the ‘system’ than any quantity of physical gold. Part of the reason for witch trials and persecution of unorthodox ideas over history.

Excellent Job Thoughty.
I learned a lot more about Issac.
Thank You.

I haven't been watching your videos as often for quite some time now but revisiting your channel has really reminded me of how awesome a storyteller you are n how your able to keep my attention no matter how confusing or bizarre the subject of discussion can be.
I guess i can see this as a good thing cuz now i have tons of videos in storage to catch up n enjoy.
With that being said, keep being awesome, Thoughty2. Keep being you 😊

Enjoying this one. One of the best. Comments are great. Charcoal in water to assist removing metal and such. Organic gardening and herbs assist removing nasty stuff from our body. Great job gardening and hugely rewarding. Natural matters and so does nurture.

I am a former student of astrophysics with a vague awareness of what an arse Newton was in getting works of peers removed from libraries. And as always I love your videos. But Gerard Vernon Wallop has got to be the single best part of it. What a name 😂

My family had some quart mugs when i was a kid. They were made of pewter and had glass pane bottom.

Thoughty2 is the best story teller of events and people with the ability to see through BS when it clouds the view.

[dysrt]

You are a Great Story teller. I love your channel.

[hell-hollowfarmer]

Great videos as always! Love the 'don't take that shovel!' part! The best doctor I had growing up was the first generation in his family to attend college after a huge falling out with his family when he wanted to continue schooling instead of pursuing a life of ditch digging! Sometimes schooling can be okay! Thanks Doc for not taking the shovel!

[gordonduckworth]

I’m new to your channel loving your videos you are amazing thank you

[KhalidAskar]

Everytime a new video drops on my feed, I feel like I just got a new book ! Your storytelling abilities are unmatched!

[PrairieWolff]

Thoughty2 could make dryer lint an interesting and educational subject and I'd listen.

[dawsie]

It never fails, I learn something new each time I watch your videos, this was an eye opener for sure, it’s a shame that that part is not as widely known, I wonder where all the pages are now, because it’s something that should never of been split up in the first place.

7:50 Brilliant thing he figured it out! And left his knowledge to us all.
