But I’m less confident about any predictions he made outside of his area of expertise. Sort of like a master plumber telling me what the price of gold will be five years from now.

Physics isn’t my bag, but from what I understand the sun will begin to expand and its luminosity increase. Then sometime in a billion years it will boil the oceans away.
Those 3 Newtons laws on motion, I used them everyday in my l
Mechanical engineering work. But the most brilliant Newtons creation was invention of calculus. I used calculus so many times in my practice of mechanical engineering. Bless his brilliant soul.
But many consider Physics to be the Science of God.
