Hey Frank,
That's interesting, I didn't know it was Newton's birthday today.
Also, you're right to do something nice for someone in need is what Jesus would have wanted.
After all, three days before what we (meaning I and some others) celebrate as Easter, He gave us all the ULTIMATE GIFT!!!
I hope you have a Merry Christmas🎅🎁🎄 and a Happy New Year🎉🧨✨ :)

Well said, Frank. I always wonder if he cussed at that apple. Lol.
The famous tree from which the legendary Newton apple fell is still growing at Woolsthorpe Manor today. It is over 350 years old.
He also invented the refracting telescope.
Merry Christmas from the man cave.

Merry Christmas, Stephen! 🎄
Newton was an amazing man, to be sure!
He invented the reflecting telescope, the design of which is still in use today, in the Hubble telescope, etc.
Refracting telescopes we’re probably around even before Galileo got credit for inventing it.
If you like math, Newton invented differential and integral calculus, in tandem with LiebnIz. He most likely invented it first but it took Halley almost 5 years to convince Newton to present it before the Royal Social of Mathematics.
Newton’s contributions are too numerous to mention in one post - ocean tides, planetary obits, theory of color, etc, etc.
Check out his Principia Mathematica, if your not familiar with it. Awesome stuff! You seem like a science guy so I think you would enjoy it. 😊
