Wonder why:
The"public" voted Newton as the winner by only 0.2 of a percentage point (50.1 percent to 49.9 percent) but
The margin was greater among scientists: 60.9 percent for Newton and 39.1 percent for Einstein.
I would think the public would vote Newton inventing gravity as the winner.

I would think the public would vote Newton inventing gravity as the winner.That was a great invention, but it made the world a lot more dangerous than it was before things started falling. It did get all those damn leaves out of the air, though. That's when people discovered the stars. It's a Muslim that lie they knew about them before then.

I would think that much of the 'public' has no idea who Newton is.
