That and as of the last few years, he really has thrown himself in with the "woke" crowd. (for lack of a better word). Newton pretty much singlehandedly reinvented all of physics at the time and invented an entire field of mathematics.

You caught the physics bar in the second verse for Newton with the third law but missed the part of the setup in the first verse. In the second verse, he states that the battle is not an equal and opposite reaction. But in the first verse he says he keeps flowing, because the first law says motion is conserved unless encountering an equal (and opposite) force. With this bar, he prefaces that his rapping has no equal then doubles down on it in the next verse.

Imho, people are a bit unfair to Bill Nye. Although he's not of the caliber of Sir Isaac Newton, he is most probably the reason why some people are into science -not Newton. Should be teachers able to create he content they're teaching? No, that's not their job. Their job is to understand the content and explain it to us, which is not an easy task! That's what Nye is- a propagator, not an innovator. Disrespecting this, is like disrespecting a car mechanic for not having invented the techology used in your car, when you only need him to do a good job fixing it!

[@lightworkersguide3820]

“I accelerated the mind of mankind to a higher plane of understanding and I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind you're standing in." When Carl Sagan was explaining higher planes of existence to laymen, he used his famous "Flatlanders" story to get the point across. He held a cube in front of a light so that it cast a shadow. As he rotated the cube in various positions, it's shape remained a cube but the shadow it cast changed. This showed that trying to calculate the weight and the size and the shape of an object in a higher plane just from its SHADOW is impossible. So Newton is bragging that he can do the impossible through an apparent veiled reference to that Flatlanders story. Not only is it an amazing line, but it once again showcases the brilliant minds behind ERB.” -Casey Locke

Another great breakdown as always Knox. However, I would like to rebut a point, a small one. While I appreciate Sir Isaac Newton, due to his genius (as well as level of insanity from mercury) I would think that his grading standards would be far higher than normal (higher plane of understanding, wouldn't pass in one of my classrooms). While Bill Nye has a low hanging fruit of a degree, he understood the need for more scientists, but the problem was and still is that science, at a certain age, can be insanely complex and very boring. His PBS show was aimed to get kids interested and hooked into the field of science while battling the ignorance of creationists. His debate with Ken Ham was especially illuminating, because whenever Ken Ham couldn't answer a question, instead of admitting he didn't know something he would chalk it up to God. I cannot remember the number of times he said the phrase "There's a Good Book you can read" (the bible), which was infuriating. So I feel that particular bar fell flat because while Isaac was devout in his faith, if memory serves he was adamant in his opposition to the church regarding scientific research.

The line about the size and the weight of the shadow of the mind..... I'm not 100% on this, but I know there are trigonometric things you can do to find the size of an object based on the shadow it casts, its handy for measuring the height of trees or buildings n stuff, so I assume newton worked on some of that. Also, yes something that is infinite can still expand, I'm not sure about the application in physics and the universe, but from a purely mathematical standpoint sure because there are different degrees of infinity.

I do love the irony of Weird Al dissing Bill Nye about wacky sound effects, that's a little one that not many people seem to call out

The Harry Potter business line is because when Newton was going crazy he was trying to find the Philosopher's Stone, the McGuffin from the first Harry Potter book (Sorcerer's stone in the States)

I love that you're the first reacter I've seen that recognised Chali 2Na instantly, even before you realised he was playing Tyson. Most reacter, even other rappers either didn't realise at all, or only at the end.
