“Once he inserted a bodkin-a long needle of the sort used for sewing leather- into his eye socket and rubbed it around “betwixt my eye and bone as near to the backside of my eye as I could” just to see what would happen. What happened miraculously was nothing-at least nothing lasting. “
How is it that you can stick something inside of your eye and it not be hurt or damaged at any extent ? Also how is he "prickly to the point of paranoia" but he could bare to stick a bodkin(needle)in his eye and like not freak out?
I also think that Newton is kind of a freak of course , but I think that its legit how he pretty much answered his own questions and did his own experiences on himself, like he probably one of those hours he was sitting in the bed after waking up he could have been like "Hmm I wonder what would happen to my vison if I stare at the sun? " Then he goes out to get results to his question. It kind of freaks me out but in the same breath its legit.
"He perceived the wavelike nature of earth wakes, conducted much original research into magnetism and gravity and quite extraordinarily envisioned the possibility of black holes two hundred year s before anyone else."
My second question is how can someone prodict the wave pattern of a earthqauke if earthqakes pretty much happen from tetonic plates underground?
Maybe im wrong but back them idk if they had certin technoligoy or even a signifigant way of figuring out things deep down. But then again there was alot of different things discovered way back yander so maybe im just not fully understanding. Once again its also kind of cool to think learn about the founding fathers of alot of useful imformation we use in todays day and age.
