Were you Sir Isaac Newton?

Yes did you know it is believed he was born Dec 25?

The Newton that was one of my ggggreat grandfathers may not have been kin to either lol

Newton's Mental Health

Isaac Newton's physical and mental health were issues in his life from the moment he was born prematurely on 25 December 1642. His plight was further compromised when his mother abandoned him to his grandmother at 3 years old. Such early difficulties may have contributed to his mental ailments that troubled him later in his life. (reference)

There is a suggestion that this mental affliction was attributable to mercury poisoning from his chemical experiments. Indeed, Newton was known to experiment widely in his laboratory with mercury.

Mercury poisoning is associated with '. . . morbid irritability, insomnia, and mental hyperactivity', all the features that Newton displayed throughout his life. Modern studies of Newton's hair at Cambridge University showed high levels of mercury

We wouldn't have to study calculus.

LOL

He was a wise lunatic who secretly studied astrology lol

Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was the first person to explain tides as the product of the gravitational attraction of astronomical masses. His explanation of the tides (and many other phenomena) was published in the Principia (1687)[22][23] and used his theory of universal gravitation to explain the lunar and solar attractions as the origin of the tide-generating forces.[24] Newton and others before Pierre-Simon Laplace worked the problem from the perspective of a static system (equilibrium theory), that provided an approximation that described the tides that would occur in a non-inertial ocean evenly covering the whole Earth.[22] The tide-generating force (or its corresponding potential) is still relevant to tidal theory, but as an intermediate quantity (forcing function) rather than as a final result; theory must also consider the Earth's accumulated dynamic tidal response to the applied forces, which response is influenced by ocean depth, the Earth's rotation, and other factors

I will only be 105 when the world ends if he is right lol

Why did Newton's prediction for 2060 become such a big news story?

One reason why Newton's heresy, apocalyptic thought and prediction about the 2060 date became news in February 2003 is because most members of the media and the public had no idea that Newton was anything other than a "scientist". For many, the revelation that Newton was a passionate believer who took biblical prophecy seriously came as something of a shock. It seems that both the media and the general public have a notion of Newton as a "rational" scientist that makes it difficult to absorb the knowledge that Newton was practising both alchemy and prophetic exegesis--studies many see as antithetical to the enterprise of science. The media has perpetuated a myth that science and religion are inherently in conflict (the fact is, sometimes they are; but religion has also often stimulated the development of science). The story about Newton predicting the Apocalypse in 2060 is the sort of thing that one would expect to see on the covers of the tabloids. In this case, however, the story is true. Ironically, the tabloids did not cover the story (perhaps because this story, although counter-intuitive to many people, is authentic

A lot of folks that have genius in math relax by doing complex problems is what I believe

So Michael let me ask you (not being mean or anything) you seem to have an outstanding ability to remember past posts on here that are lost/forgotten by most so...would you say that's hereditary to the fact that you could also be related to Sir Isaac Newton? Is there a Bourbon named after him that we don't know about yet and...you are all secretly enjoying this as you toast you ancestor?

Like..Izzy Pop or something???

The more I read about Isaac Newton the more I believe he had Asperger symptoms like it is believed Albert Einstein had and from what I have read distilling spirits has been intertwined with European culture for well over a thousand years although my gggg great uncle Elijah Craig was given credit for inventing the process that Bourbon county used for the first time in the late 1780's lol

The main symptom I have is an inability to not remember some things while not being able to remember the more useful things, that is without extreme effort lol

I have been on the wagon for years

Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel (September 5, 1850 - October 10, 1911) was an American distiller and the founder of Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey distillery

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
