Issac Newton IS Harry Potter!
[quote] Knoespel said, “The history of science has often separated Newton the complex mathematician from the Newton of the Newtonians,” he explained. “The purists say: ‘Newton is a mathematician and a physicist. Don’t mix him up with religion or alchemy because you’ll turn him into Harry Potter.’”

Newton is not Harry Potter, a lame fictional character created by limited imagination of a modern pop author. What a ***** to compare him that way, the previous commenter!

Newton isn't even half the man Harry Potter is!

all kidding aside, Harry Potter is still fun to read! Newton is slightly more interesting wink.gif

thanks for the shout out.
i actually find metaphysics very intriguing indeed. all things are mathematical, and all things must conform to balance, this is my number one insight.

Newton was one of the best mathematican....but actually on a NOVA special they showed how Newton actually devoted part of his life to alchemy....and how he actually discovered some aspects of chemistry! So I wouldn't call him HP
