Recently i wrote that Names of Angels was the 2nd most popular image on fromoldbooks.org; this is the most popular, a 19th century engraving of Sir Isaac Newton, famous for inventing the apple.

I’m actually not certain why it’s so popular - i should check!

Today i added the shirt, prints, socks... redbubble.com/shop/ap/174109620

"A Study Appears to Stunningly Contradict Newton and Einstein's Theory of Gravity

Our understanding of the universe may be completely wrong.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

• Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, an immensely important update to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, is currently our best approximation of how the universe ticks.

• But there are some holes in Einstein’s theory, including some gravitational weirdness around low acceleration 'wide binary' stars.

• A study claims that the behavior of these slow-moving celestial objects can’t be explained by a Newton-Einstein theory, which relies on dark matter, but could be explained with an idea known as Modified Newtonian Dynamics, or MOND."

`These two deviations in the same direction represent a 10σ significance. The deviation represents a direct evidence for the breakdown of standard gravity at weak acceleration.`

Sir Isaac Newton did not sleep well, perhaps because he kept doing shit like this, alrhough he did complain that thinking about gravity kept him awake 🍸🙀 #bodkin #Newton #sleepproblems

Kant’s Natural Philosophy

Series:   Elements in the Philosophy of Immanuel Kant

By Marius Stant

This Element analyzes Kant’s metaphysics and epistemology of the exact science of nature. It explains his theory of true motion and ontology of matter. In addition, it reconstructs the patterns of evidential reasoning behind Kant’s foundational doctrines.

On this day in 1992 the Apple Newton was released. While a commercial failure, the Newton platform set the bar for future designs. The most important advancement the Newton offered to the technology industry may have been the development of the ARM processor architecture. The ARM architecture has been the foundation of most of the world’s mobile devices since that time, including all versions of the Apple iPhone and iPad and now the M series processors for the Macintosh.

Op deze dag in 1993 lanceerde Apple de Newton MessagePad! 📝 Een voorloper van de smartphone, maar zijn handschriftherkenning was... eh... creatief. 😂 Gelukkig leerden ze ervan! 😉 #Apple #Newton #TechGeschiedenis #Fail #Throwback

I finally have a AA battery tray for my MessagePad 2100! I was able to remix an existing 3D model so it worked with some AA battery springs I already had.

The model is pretty tricky to print and took several tries to get right. It's not perfect but it's working.

Why is “F = ma” still the most important equation in physics? It's been over 300 years since Newton's laws were first written down, and we've learned so much more in all the time since. So, why does F = ma remain such an important equation? bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #newton
