Isaac Newton may be a legendary scientist, but he didn't achieve everything on his own. Without his friend (and legendary scientist) Edmond Halley, Newton would have never wrote his book Principa which stated mathematical laws and principals that greatly aided the study of science.
That's what friends are for!

Yea, right on Isaac.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic friend. Greetings from the Netherlands, Joke
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what friends are for!
ReplyDeleteA true friend will not try to put himself in the center of attention, which Edmond could have certainly done. That is real friendship! He let Isaac get all the attention for his science. I love your Facts Of The Day! So many things I had no idea about :)
ReplyDeleteTaking all the glory, how rude
ReplyDeletewell Halley never did much to make the contents of the book. Mainly gave Newton the encouragement and helped put his work into a paper book for people to read.
DeleteIs that who Halley's Comet is names after?
ReplyDeleteyes it was
DeleteWow, interesting!

so many scientist stole ideas from their friends, rivals or even their wives (like Einstein for example)...
ReplyDeleteI agree with others...many scientist and inventors failed to mention their helpers that probably contributed a lot to the project.
ReplyDeleteSome people need a little "push" to do things. Kisses:)
ReplyDeleteHe also had help from a mathematician named Christopher Wren, best known as the architect of St. Paul's Cathedral.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact today, those recognized always seem to have someone in the background who do a lot of their groundwork.
ReplyDeleteA little help is fine
ReplyDeleteI see you already answered the question I had. The comet, hunh?
ReplyDeleteoh they were talking about this on that tv show "cosmos".
