I could listen to you talk all day.
Such good vibes in this video.
This video is gold.
My eyes are blessed.
Beautifully produced. I gained knowledge from this
One of the biggest things people tend to forget about Isaac Newton, is the timing of his discoveries, especially with gravity. He published this theory well over 300 years ago. For reference, Einstein published his Theory of General Relativity only 110 years ago. This is significant because of the data and technology available. At the time of Isaac Newton's discoveries, he was incredibly limited in both data and technology. Newton had no real idea of atoms, or even what stars really were. He speculated that maybe stars were just like our sun, but only further away, but did not know for sure. I think if Newton had access to the data and technology that we have today, that perhaps he would have completed a theory of everything that is provable. Just a thought.
What a wonderful, fascinating, inspiring video this is! Wouldn't ol' Isaac have been dumbfounded to know that five centuries after he lived on this Earth that this video about him would exist, and be watched on handheld devices, by his own admirers all over the Earth! 😮😮😊
Love YouTube for keeping this history about people that change the world
Why isn't there a movie about him yet.. omg
Well Done!
Wow I love these old school Documentaries I really miss them.
Breh, I was bouta watch the whole video till I saw the comment! Thanks guys!
Everytime someone asks me how ancient people stacked block weighing multiple tons i always remind them that it was built before Issac Newton invented gravity.
Interesting information
The editing skills are on another level. It adds so much to the viewing experience.
Thank you for such an illuminating documentary!
Too bad that music was added..I couldn't finish listening
I had smiles in different times of this story. Can appreciate having this side of Newton told in this manner. Loved it❤
Wonderful!
Utterly superb! Thank you for posting this.
