Royal Society Finds Lost Newton Papers

Quirk writes "The Royal Society has a story on a Lost Newton manuscript rediscovered. From the article: 'The notes are written about alchemy, which some scientists in Newton's time believed to hold the secret for transforming base metals, such as lead, into the more precious metals of gold or silver...The notes reflect a part of Newton's life which he kept hidden from public scrutiny during his lifetime, in part because the making of gold or silver was a felony and had been since a law was passed by Henry IV in 1404.'"

Re:Newton should have hung himself

Your signature is fucking obnoxious. That is by far the most piss-poor attempt at karma whoring I have ever seen on slashdot. Why don't you just fucking beg for mod points while you are at it. If I were Newton, I'd have YOU drawn and quartered for being the sad wannabe slashdot troll that you are.

YOu mean, in white peoples reality, newton did more for modern science.

Westerners would have you believe that it's only by their grace that any other culture can even live, let alone feed themselves or have learned anything about the reality around us.
