His brain it's not on a different level. Stop lying. He removed all other distractions from life so that he can just sit and think without judgement. Sacrifices were made. The fool tried hard to find immortality through alchemy but realized it was impossible at some point. I will say, who knows what he would have found with the chemistry and biology like we know today. It was because he was secretive and did his own experiments in private that nobody interrupted his thoughts. Every human can do what he did.The question is do you want to truly be like him?

[@charlesbrightman4237]

IN THE INTEREST OF FINDING THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING: SOME THINGS MODERN SCIENCE DOES NOT APPARENTLY KNOW: Consider the following: a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. Surely the very nature of reality has to allow numbers and mathematical constants to actually exist for math to do what math does in this existence. (And nobody as of yet has been able to show me how numbers and certain mathematical constants can come from the Standard Model Of Particle Physics). b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually warp and expand. c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually warp and vary. d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. And for those who claim that 'gravity' is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see 'b' and 'c' above. e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also warp, expand and vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can warp, expand and vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could warp, expand and vary in actual reality? f. Photons: A photon swirls with the 'e' and 'm' energy fields 90 degrees to each other. A photon is also considered massless. What keeps the 'e' and 'm' energy fields together across the vast universe for billions of light years? And why doesn't the momentum of the 'e' and 'm' energy fields as they swirl about not fling them away from the central area of the photon? And why aren't photons that go across the vast universe torn apart by other photons, including photons with the exact same energy frequency, and/or by matter, matter being made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy, quarks and electrons being considered charged particles, each with their respective magnetic field with them? Electricity is electricity and magnetism is magnetism varying possibly only in energy modality, energy density and energy frequency. So why doesn't the 'e' and 'm' of other photons and of matter basically tear apart a photon going across the vast universe? Also, 'if' a photon actually red shifts, where does the red shifted energy go and why does the photon red shift? And for those who claim space expanding causes a photon to red shift, see 'b' above. Why does radio 'em' (large 'em' waves) have low energy and gamma 'em' (small 'em' waves) have high energy? And for those who say E = hf; see also 'b' and 'c' above. (f = frequency, cycles per second. But modern science claims space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary. If 'space' warps and expands and/or 'time' warps and varies, what does that do to 'E'? And why doesn't 'E' keep space from expanding and time from varying?). g. Energy: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. Hence, energy is either truly a finite amount and eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. First Law Of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." How exactly is 'energy' eternally existent? h. Existence and Non-Existence side by side throughout all of eternity. How? * ADDED NOTE: My current TOE idea can potentially answer all of these above items, and more, in a logical, coherent and inter-related manner. And wouldn't one expect the true TOE of existence itself to be able to do that? What other TOE idea in known existence can currently do that? Surely not the General or Special Relativity Models nor even the Standard Model of Particle Physics. TOE IDEA: (Short version): [currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test]: The 'gem' photon is the eternally existent energy unit of this universe. The strong and weak nuclear forces are derivatives of the electromagnetic ('em') interactions between quarks and electrons. The nucleus is a magnetic field boundary. 'Gravity' is a part of electromagnetic radiation, gravity acting 90 degrees to the 'em' modalities, which of course act 90 degrees to each other. 'Gravity' is not matter warping the fabric of spacetime, 'gravity' is a part of spacetime that helps to make up matter. The gravity and 'em' modalities of matter interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime and the gravity and 'em' modalities of spacetime interact with the gravity and 'em' modalities of matter. I am open to any and all theory of everything ideas that can potentially answer all those above items in a logical, coherent and inter-related manner. Currently, as far as I am currently aware of, there are no others but my own. GRAVITY TEST: (Short Version): Direct a high powered laser 90 degrees through an electric field and magnetic field polarized as such to nullify the 'em' of the laser. "IF" my current TOE idea is correct, a gravitational black hole would become evident. (The 'gem' photon being the energy unit of this universe that makes up everything else in existence in this existence.)

[@kensurrency2564]

The thing about alchemy is that, yes, it was literal in the sense that they were trying to turn base metals into gold, which would have undermined the ‘system’ but it is also metaphorical: if we are able to learn the secrets of life and reality, that would also undermine the system, in a much more fundamental way. I would argue that mysticism is much more dangerous to the ‘system’ than any quantity of physical gold. Part of the reason for witch trials and persecution of unorthodox ideas over history.

[@wolvulus]

😊

[@k1mpman]

This was my understanding of alchemy too. It was sometimes used as a guise to veil the fact that they were transmuting their mind to such an extent they would be considered mystics in the Indian tradition. The different elements, the syntax of their concoctions and other general terms had a mystical translation.

[@alpheusmadsen8485]

It's a misnomer that calculus makes engineering and physics harder. It actually makes certain problems in physics and engineering *easier* . Indeed, many problems are far more difficult, if not outright impossible, without calculus.

[@waits4noone23]

When you take the negative patterns that are playing out in the pendulum of your mind and transmute that energy into motivation, inspiration or art, that is alchemy. That is how you turn darkness into light. Thoughty 2 could do with showing a little respect for magi. Just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it delusional bullshit, just makes you ignorant.

[@jaaps772]

A quart mug is a type of drinking vessel that has a capacity of one quart, or 32 fluid ounces, which is equivalent to four cups or two pints. This unit of measurement is commonly used in the United States and is sometimes used to serve beer or other beverages in pubs or restaurants. The size of a quart mug can vary depending on the specific design, but it typically has a wide, rounded shape with a handle for easy drinking. In fact, Isaac Newton's mother famously claimed that his head could fit inside a quart mug.

[@Pisti846]

That makes sense since the English System of measure is the system we currently use in the US and was the system used in England during Newton's life time. The US continued to use the English System after Great Britain and Canada switched over to the British Imperial System in the 19th century. When I was in elementary school in the 1960s we still called it the English System. Nowadays it is called the US Customary System. I am surprised Thoughty didn't know what a quart is.

[@advancetotabletop5328]

Maybe if Mountain Dew was invented in Britain, everyone there would know what a quart mug was. :D

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Thoughty2, I have spent a considerable amount of energy on genealogy. Sir Issac was a cousin of my late wife. It appears he has had some number of nieces and nephews, but never had a girl friend. He was childless. He may have had Asperger's Syndrome. I am almost positive he had Alpha 1 Anti Tripsin Deficiency, as it ran through the family. I will speculate that there is a good chance Sir Issac's Cause of Death (COD) was some form of Parkinson's Disease. A1A Disease (short name), is a host carrier for at least 20 other well known diseases, like Parkinson's. Many people with A1A will do cutting edge almost crazy things. So his drinking metals hardly seems odd, given his genetic code. Finally, many of Issac's cousins, to this day, have had genius level IQ.

[@Alan_Misc]

Hey MrMockingbird1313. That's amazing. Your late wife could very well be related to me as well then!!! Sir Isaac Newton was my 3rd cousin 11x removed. His 2nd great grandfather John Clark Newton (1520-1563) had two sons - Richard (1575-1641) whos son was Isaac Newton (1606-1642) who was the father of Sir Isaac Newton. For the other son George Newton (1554-1600), he had a son called Christopher Newton (1584-1645) who had a son called Isaac Newton (1608-1650) who likewise had a son called Captain Isaac Newton (born 1632) who was my direct 9th great grandfather and also the 3rd cousin of Sir Isaac Newton.

All the feedbacks have been good so far. I don't know how to describe it, but having multiple interests makes me less productive on other areas since I often get invested into something that I find fascinating such as studying engineering when I was at university. Ultimately I had to take a step down on writing novels when this interest spiked. It's like a dormant hobby that takes over me when triggered.

It might not have just been mercury poisoning heavy metal poisoning can cause this when the liver starts to no longer be able to function the term for this is high metal toxicity. And you can have a various forms of toxicity happen when your liver malfunctions and it has nothing necessarily to do with high middle but in his case based on everything you've been telling us I say hi metal toxicity. Please bear in mind that I am using voice to text and it doesn't always write things down as I would like it so when you read any comments for me that's what you're having to deal with it doesn't punctuate and it doesn't let me fix anything I have problems with my hands so fixing things as a bit difficult have to go back erase and rerecord it as it were biunno get voice-to-text to put it down but it doesn't always work.

[@pistolpete5189]

Lesser known fact about Newton is that he gave Brian May inspiration for his hair style 😂

[@bethpemberton7980]

Didnt know that much abt Sir Isaac. Interesting. Yes, heavy metals poisoning likely plus a touch of genius/insanity. Keep up the good work and look forward to more!!

[@cadenmandrake5859]

I have a juicy one for you, Thoughty2. If you can unravel it in time, you may unveil one of the simplest, yet most profoundly powerful forms of awareness ever to be kept secret from the public. (Mostly for public safety). Alternatively, you will not unravel it in time and this overly simple and yet globally overlooked tidbit may vanish from perspective entirely. This latin term for an anonymous individual has been used to further obscure his identity so he could test knowledge. As it turns out, both Newton and this man were very interested in a fancy rock.

Best way to describe a quart mug in British context is a type of mug holding about two pints, and usually made out of Pewter. Not really ornate or anything like that.

If it hadn't been for his obsession with the Book of Daniel, along with Alchemy, Isaac probably would have invented Rocketry, along with the Airplane. As a guy who improved the telescope, he probably would have invented the microscope, and made many associated discoveries.

[@FulcrumMason]

great channel , only comment about this vid is the changing between OS (old style) dates and New Style (NS). He states the OS when referring to birth and NS when referring to death. Wiki tells us that he was born Xmas day in OS but died in 1726 OS which is 1727 NS. blame the Gregorian calendar for this (or thank it). a very mute point though , some fantastic info here - I'll always come back regardless, for some interesting stories.

The mug in question would be a quart of a WINE gallon. Today's UK (water) gallon is NOT the same as a wine gallon. However, Todays USA 1 gallon is = 1 wine gallon, So YES, 1/4 of American gallon.

My children's great-grandma was born premature in New York The nurse do her in the trash can. Her aunt retrieved her from the trash and since her mother didn't want her she took her home with her. A makeshift incubator putting her in a cigar box which might refer to how small a baby would be to fit in a quart mug and she had the oven on low and had the cigar box on the oven door. When she was 6 her mom wanted her back and the aunt let her have her. She grew up in the Bronx and she stayed pretty short but nobody messed with her. Her husband customized shelves that she could reach in the kitchen.

Very interesting, though I might comment that “hung, drawn and quartered” punishment usually involved hanging the guy until unconscious, reviving him to be disemboweled, “drawn”, and then finally tearing him apart with for horses tied to his limbs, “quartering”. The good old days. 😎

[@mikev4621]

Quartering was done after death so that parts of the body could be sent to major cities to act as warnings.Being torn apart by horses was a different punishment . They think the 'drawn ' part was where they were drawn along behind a cart , often naked , on the streets, to the place of execution.

I knew about the alchemy as a professor was kind enough to inform my class. My understanding alchemy was a common area of study at the time and was a precursor to chemistry. The alchemists stumbled on enough truths that it eventually evolved into a decent body of knowledge.
