    That’s not what Newton did with the Principia. You can read it for free online to confirm this.

    I teach a course on the history of science if you’re interested.

      Yes, I know that’s not what he did with the Principia. I was simplifying something very complicated because it’s not in my field of expertise as if I was an expert on it.

      This should sound familiar to you.

          I guess the same reason acting like you’re smarter than Nobel prizewinners is important to you.

          (Oh wait, neither of us are doing that? Huh.)

              You too.

              Although next time you act like high school history teachers knew exactly for what a Nobel prize in economics was awarded for decades, I would suggest going by the academic papers that the winners wrote rather than a summary of a press release that doesn’t even name any of them.

              But then I don’t teach high school history, so I clearly don’t know my stuff when it comes to these things.
