Umro je Stephen Hawking!

Earnest kaže:

Newton je to zapravo otrovno uputio jednom svom niskog rasta neprijatelju iz znanstvenog kruga da ga razjebe, ali je s vremenom dobilo puno ljepše konotacije... Newton je u biti bio jako tašt i prgav čovjek koji je loše podnosio kritike, a nije se libio niti da nekoga pošalje na vješala.

Zanimljivo kako ti znas sto se i kako zbilo prije skoro 400 godina, I da 'sluzbena verzija' nije tocna.

Slično tome bih i ja mogao odgovoriti da je zanimljivo što tebi znači 'točna službena verzija' događaja od prije skoro 400 godina.

Ali umjesto toga reći ću ti ovo:
"... This wasn’t the first time the two men had tangled, nor that Newton had insulted Hooke’s stature(*). They had first sparred over optical experiments, with Hooke criticizing the younger man’s first submissions to the Royal Society in the early 1670s. In his last letter to Hooke on the various issues involved, written in February 1676, Newton grandly acknowledged that Hooke had “added much in several ways,” to the science of light. And as for himself, “If I have seen futher it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants.”

Steven, rest in peace.
Kako reče jedan Amer:
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
Nadam se da ljudski rod nikad neće zaboraviti da si živio.
