It is free until December2006. Since they have been keeping this since 1665, there is a lot of material.
Thanks!
I wonder how much of this archive will reveal cutting edge science that turned out, later, to be total bunk.
Thank you....this is really interesting....I admit I may not explore a whole lot but I did forward this to my thirst for more knowledge friends

That's how science works, you come up with ideas and then prove or disprove them.

Not math. Math is eternal. Mathematicians don't get to be wrong and then shrug their shoulders and say "oh, well".

Mathematics is the language of the Universe... and is the only true science...
