Newton was same.

You do not know the subject of which you speak.

Imagine how far he would have gone if he hadn't arrogantly dismissed the whole revolution of modern physics.

>>16696565
modern physics is a joke anyway
>you MUST follow consensus

>>16696563
Newton had some really stinky turds in his writings but the nuggets of gold were filled with tritium.

The weirdest part is that Newton spent a ton of time on decoding the Bible and performing alchemy whereas his calculus was more or less a self-made tool to solve a side project in astronomy.

The three fastest ways to ruin everything you have worked your entire life to accomplish are bad women, drugs and gambling. They both knew this.

It's crazy how many anons come here looking to have their needs met. It's like being thirsty and deciding to shit in the toilet and then drinking the water from the bowl.

>>16696644
Without flushing.
Checked.

Uh source? He didn't invent anything.

Man, I was just reading some stuff about how women are a distraction from greatness. Think is was Carl Jung but can’t find it.

how shortsighted

>>16696743
name a single genius who’s a child a of genius? Ever heard of Gauss Jr? Hilbert Jr (look that one up kek)?

Pop entertainment has rotten their brains into not seeing regression to the mean. In pic related, Meg Ryan's character helps her uncle Albert with new discoveries because she even more talented in mathematics than he was. That's something that's slightly possible but highly improbable. Makes for a cute movie but terrible for understanding the world.

>>16696545
He invented a type of electric motor, like hundreds of other engineers were doing at the time. He got fame bacause of his public antics with high voltage.

Not that anon but,
Any physics which isn’t taught to actual engineers who build real shit that people use is fake and not real.

>>16697118
a lot of engineering specialties require learning at least some modern physics, anon.

if you want to do electrical you want at least a passing understanding of topics in solid-state physics, if you want to do optical engineering you're going to run into stuff involving interactions between light and matter, atomic physics, photoelectric effect, and so on. if you want do work in nuclear engineering you need to understand principles of radiation, if you want to work in material processing/fabrication you need to understand atomic and plasma physics, if you want to do chemical engineering there's a bunch of quantum physics involved, etc.

Wasn’t he highly overrated

>>16696568
Consensus is meant to be followed but not to the detriment of entertaining new things, or being able to think critically. Half of the scientific community can’t even agree if sex is binary or not. Let that sink in.

>>16696576
Newton was more occultist than natural philosopher proper. Closer to a natural mystic.

>>16696743
This. Leonard Euler had a butt load of children and his descendants are still around today. Wasting your genes is truly abhorrent.

>>16697146
Yes and no. He made a lot of legitimate contributions and breakthroughs, but that's rarely what he gets touted for anymore; instead 99% of what he gets praise for is all the death ray, free energy, psychic aether, soul resonance schizo /x/ bullshit.

>>16696576
Calculus is just a convenient method for calculating areas and volumes. I think the S letter looks cool but it could be done using dumb sums to any degree of precision. Estimating trigonometric functions during Newton's time would've been tedious regardless.

>>16696579
>bad women, drugs and gambling
Newton lot a shit ton of money off bad stock trades that left him a bagholder though. To be fair, this was after he was rich enough to not care, but it's relevant.

>>16697136
Yes, a lot of EE was "why this doesn't work in the real world like it does in theory".

>>16697192
But that 10%. Did he actually do it?

>>16697741
1%, and yes.

>>16697742
No.

>>16697744
Anon mad

Not mad at all, get fucked you know absolutely nothing.

"I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life." —Nikola Tesla

He was played by David Bowie in that one movie

>>16696541 (OP)
Tesla wanted to fuck a pigeon and was a legitimate schizophrenic. Newton was just an asshole

>>16699308
He did a good job.

>>16699350
There was nothing schizophrenic about Nikola. His love was pure.

>>16700783
Did he tho.
