Chapter 5: Death, Newton robbed!
In the long history of physics, Newton has always been a very topical figure.
The topic here is not some kind of intellectual question of "whether Newton can graduate in 985 in modern times", but that his life trajectory is so magical.
Many people must have heard this sentence before:
70% of Newton's achievements were completed between 1665 and 1667.
There is actually nothing wrong with this sentence.
Newton seemed to be cheating during the 18 months he was avoiding the plague. He created the binomial theorem, infinite series expansion, invented calculus, invented the reflecting telescope and discovered the seven-color spectrum of sunlight, establishing Newton's first, The basic idea of Newton's second law and the law of gravity.
This laid the foundation of classical physics in one fell swoop.
After deducting these 18 months of academic achievements, Newton began to turn his attention to the fields of politics and economics after his middle age - yes, politics and economics, without theology.
Because Newton has always been a devout believer, it was not a sudden change of camp in his later years.
In addition, Newton's achievements in his middle and later years were actually not low.
For example, he established the link between gold and silver coins through Queen Anne's Act of 1717, informally moved the pound currency from the silver standard to the gold standard, and served as director of the National Mint.
Director of the mint, this is almost the current concept of central bank governor. For 99% of modern people, it can be regarded as the achievement of the ancestors.
It's just that what Mr. Niu did in his middle years was too dazzling, so his middle and later years were called nothing by many marketing accounts or black men.
Okay, let’s stop with Newton’s affairs in his middle and later years. Let’s return to that cabin.
Said above.
During the 18 months of avoiding the plague, Newton accomplished a lot.
And this is also the reason why Xu Yun first needs to determine the specific time - if someone has already figured out calculus, and you stupidly run to him and pretend to be a mathematician at this time, it will be weird if you can strike up a conversation.
"The end of October 1665."
Xu Yun gently scratched his hair and muttered:
"If I remember correctly, the Black Death in 1665 should have been the first case officially diagnosed in April, and the royal family fled in July.
Mr. Niu returned to Cambridge University in April 1667. He stayed in his hometown for eighteen months, so the time when he escaped from Cambridge University should be between July and August.
Well, if we calculate it according to the most extreme time
He should be back home for about four months now? ”
The Black Death of London, also known as the plague.
This was the last widespread plague in John Bull's homeland, causing more than 80,000 deaths. It can be called a key node and turning point in the history of John Bull disease.
In fact, the Black Death began to spread in January. The dock areas outside London and St. Giles Parish were the first to be affected. The poor workers living in these two places became the first group of victims of the Black Death. who.
However, due to the extremely low status of workers in these areas, little attention has been paid to and recorded.
Therefore, the first official case of the Great Plague in London was recorded in a woman named Rebecca Andrews who was diagnosed on April 12, 1665.
This is also the reason why even the John Bull royal family ran away three months after the outbreak of the Black Death, because it could not be controlled at all.
This is just like cockroaches. When you see one cockroach at home, it means that hundreds of cockroaches have made their home in your home.
And if it was only four months before Mr. Newton returned home, then he should still be thinking about it
"Problem of simplifying binomial (P+PQ)^m/n?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yun's eyes immediately lit up.
Of course, the 'simplification' here is Newton's self-statement in the manuscript, and what is currently used in academic circles is 'expansion'.
At present, Newton should have studied the case where the exponent is a positive integer, but is stuck at the step of fractions or negative numbers.
After he had completely deduced the limits of the exponent, the next step was to arrive at the static infinitesimal point of view and use the variable flow production method to create flow theory - the basic conceptual framework of Newton's calculus.
Later, Newton used the framework of flux theory and combined it with Kepler's third law of planetary motion to derive the famous law of universal gravitation.
Therefore, even if Xu Yun's time judgment is slightly wrong, at most it is the difference before and after a small node, which can be adjusted at any time according to the situation.
After thinking about this, Xu Yun felt somewhat confident.
Then he sat up and prepared to get out of bed.
But when he moved to the head of the bed, he discovered
"My shoes are wrong, where are my socks?"
Looking at the bare soles of his feet, Xu Yun couldn't help but have a bunch of black question marks on his face - he was still thinking about the time issue just now, so he really didn't notice that his socks had been taken off.
Not long ago, or before he fell into coma, he briefly checked his body.
Make sure that except for the fact that your mobile phone and watch do not appear with you, your clothes, shoes, and hairstyle are completely consistent with those in your home country.
It is still unclear whether it is consciousness reshaping or soul transmission, but at least his 'equipment' is roughly the same as in his native country, and he has not been given additional clothing of the current era such as Dambris or Huss trousers. .
Unexpectedly, when I woke up, my clothes were quite neat, but my socks and shoes were missing?
Of course.
At the moment we cannot rule out the possibility that the owner of the house is mysophobic and took off his shoes and socks before moving himself onto the bed.
But how likely is this?
Just as Xu Yun's mind was racing, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the wooden door on the left side of the room, and they were getting closer and closer.
It's obvious.
The owner of the house must have noticed the noise after he woke up.
Da da da——
The footsteps got closer and closer, and soon, the doorknob began to turn.
After a while.
There was just a click, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure walked in.
What he saw was a pair of blue eyes that shot out cold stars, two curved eyebrows as thick as paint, the eyebrows were divided into eight characters, and the seven-foot-long body was like silver.
This person is clearly Newton. He is wearing a Britannia dapple collar, a Dutch Amsterdam variegated silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a pair of ANTA 2021 winter warm low-top boots. WTF?
Xu Yun rubbed his eyes vigorously. Yes, his shoes were really worn on his feet by the youth version of the ancestor. (It’s not that I’m being ugly or yyy, Newton really has this character, it’s not my second creation.)
Xu Yun: "."
Perhaps noticing Xu Yun's gaze, Newton said calmly:
"This is the domain of the Isaac family. According to the "Boer Ordinance" promulgated by the Parliament 14 years ago, as the eldest son of the family, I have the right to collect fines from trespassers privately.
In addition, I saved your life, so I officially inform you: your boots now belong to me - of course, this also includes your subsequent medical expenses and short-term food expenses. ”
Then Newton looked at him strangely, shook his head and said:
"I don't know what you think. If such a good fabric is meant to be worn outside, won't it become useless if you step on it a few times?"
Hearing these words, Xu Yun was suddenly startled again - not because he was surprised about the fines and cloth issues that Newton said, but because
I can actually completely understand Newton's words?
To know.
Modern English is divided into early modern English and postmodern English based on the year 1700. The difference between the two is not small.
The English of 1665 was far from being able to seamlessly connect with the English of later generations. It can even be said that there are still huge differences.
So Xu Yun was initially prepared to communicate with each other while making gestures, but he didn't expect that he could actually understand Newton's words?
Obviously, this should be some kind of ability given by the gate of time and space. As for the reason why Newton made such a move, Xu Yun quickly figured out the cause and effect
