“LOL. No you simply didn’t understand the point. It was that Newton was a great scientist in the area of physics, but was something a nut in other areas of endeavor. Alchemy is not science, it borders on magic.”
First, let me say that when someone starts off with “LOL,” I can’t help but think that she is a teenage girl. If you aren’t one, you would do yourself a favor to quit impersonating one.
Secondly, calling Newton a “nut in other areas of endeavor” shows your complete lack of understanding of both Newton’s genius *and* the scientific endeavor itself. Newton is widely considered the greatest scientist who ever lived, and the fact that he didn’t share your modern understanding of chemistry did not make him a “nut” in any way.
The irony is that Newton’s discoveries in physics led the way to later discoveries in chemistry.
Get real. Newton was a bit odd. That in no way detracts from his genius.
Now come down from your high horse. You aren't the only one who has taken a science course.
