I guess alchemy and religion is always going to be a bad mix. But poor Isaac, who often gets a bad rap, his status needs to revived. His great contribution of putting physics on the map is often overshadowed by Einstein proving him wrong, when in reality, his Law of Gravity still stands for our everyday world.

To commemorate Newton, we should have t-shirts showing:
Rμν = (8πG/c^4)[Tμν – ½Tgμν] → ∇^2φ = 4πGρ

This was very wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(platform)
Quote:The Newton platform is a personal digital assistant developed by Apple Inc.. Development of the Newton platform started in 1987 and officially ended on February 27, 1998. Some electronic engineering and the manufacture of Apple's Newton devices was done by Motorola. Most Newton devices were based on the ARM 610 RISC processor and all featured handwriting recognition software. Most Newton devices were developed and marketed by Apple (this includes the whole MessagePad line and the eMate 300), but other companies — Motorola, Sharp, and Digital Ocean — also released devices that ran the Newton OS.

Just like the Sinclair C5?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
