Who was the greatest scientist of all time?

[@wayned803]

Let's be very clear about Newton: He was a genius of the likes that can't really be found (or placed) in today's physics. In his day, nobody was talking about higher dimensional vibrating strings, timelike curves, or quantum entanglement, or basically anything "conceptionally exotic". They were more interested in very blunt--yet very difficult--problems like "What shape might a hanging rope take" or "What shape of a hill causes a ball to fall the fastest from A to B" or "What basic assumptions about matter, density, and force yield an inverse square law of gravity." And as crazy difficult as these questions can be to try to puzzle out "a priori", none of them captured his imagination like theological issues. When you think about it, it's kinda baffling how such a brilliant man's thoughts on those matters are basically dismissed out of hand just because he wasn't a "trained and orthodox professional theologian". And perhaps the most neglected aspect of Newton is his particular brand of manliness that's utterly absent in this age of instant comfort and gratification: Newton was a man almost robotically immune to pain and pleasure

Make up anything and start talking to someone. If they immediately start coining every counter argument unrelentingly for a dopamine boost like a lab test animal, stop and ask for their full understanding on the (made up topic or problem) and poof the conversation changed without you knowing. Clever non weird fools. Go be normal live a normal life. Arguing without a prior exposure to the topic to act as if they always know more because they don't know how to not know something before knowing it.

The faulty claim therefore rests on your shoulders.

Unreasonable expectations are a sure way to make yourself miserable. Let’s say you have a goal in mind, you’re thinking about how to attain it, you’re working toward accomplishing it, and you’re going to get some kind of reward in return for all of your work. The reward can be anything, really. Maybe you’re expecting something material like money. Maybe it’s not so material. Maybe you’re expecting something intangible like respect from a particular person or even a feeling of happiness and accomplishment. The problem with expectations is that none of them are particularly reasonable. An expectation is a hope in the future that you will get something that you want, and we don’t always get what we want.

Time travel seems impossible to me. If you can travel to any point back into time, then there must be an infinite number of identical time events taking place simultaneously. In other words, one world for the person who want to travel back to 1790. Another world for 1810, another world for 1810 + one day. It is not possible to have an infinite number of worlds existing all shifted be a minute amount of time each.

[@cristristam9054]

We are all traveling through time and the speed through which we proceed through it can vary depending on gravity ,speed and god knows what other factors. What you are saying only applies to going BACKWARDS in time and even then it might not apply.

The Nobel (Peace) Prize (at least) has become a pathetic joke... I find this "award" exceptionally disgusting today due to those who have been awarded it... It's at the top of the "I love me" Walls or Shelves... The litter left behind of these so-called great leaders who've gotten the "prize" is shocking... It feels good to recognize feel good people, yet look at South Africa today after Mandela got it... De Klerk was no better... Dog and pony shows... I DO respect people who truly make a difference in science, the "arts", medicine and more... But, IT truly irks me that it is given out to anyone who does not reek of exceptionalism... And IDEA and doing the right thing, even against a mountain you cannot even see the top of is NOT the same... It is akin to my way of thinking regarding HEROS... The ONLY heros that raced up the Towers on 9/11 would be the ones who knew they were coming down... The rest were just doing their jobs, and while seriously courageous, it makes NONE of them a 'Hero' on in and of itself... Same with our military and everyone else... Jump on a grenade to save your guys / gals, yes THAT is HEROIC... I don't give it much thought but I wonder just how many truly brilliant people, of which I am starting to think Dr. Keating might be (just found this channel) are overlooked for politics and popularity...

Newton was an alchemist. Maybe that's how he was able to discover calculus and all of his other discoveries.

How can alchemy be related to calculus which was merely a mathematical convenience to explain his Physics? Also, Newton had a working calculus when he was in his 20's. His alchemy pursuits came later.

The Nobel prize went the way of the Eurovision Song Contest whereby it lost all of its credibility by becoming a pitiful representation of blatantly transparent virtue signalling and political narratives with undeserving and farcical winners. To give an example, Barack Obama, a confirmed war criminal following a fine US presidential tradition of starting and escalating conflicts across the globe, was awarded the Nobel peace prize 🏆✌️🤣🤣🤣. So the Nobel prize is just another case of rewarding not so much based on what a person did or achieved, that much is laughably clear, and more a case of rewarding a person based on who they are or what they represent.
