Happy Newton's Day

December 25th is a day everyone should rejoice, regardless of silly superstitious religious beliefs, simply because Sir Isaac Newton's birthday. Newton was one of the greatest thinker of all time. His work in mathematics and optics alone helped change the world. His book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" is possibly the greatest or most influential book of all time. This is where he lays out the foundation of classical mechanics and formulates the laws of universal gravitation. Without Newton's work much of our modern world would not exist. So on this December 25th I am grateful for Sir Isaac Newton and not some fantasy nonsense about a virgin birth and a manger. Happy Newton's Day!
