It's funny reading this and then the next comment is about him calling climate change a hoax
Newton believed and experimented with alchemy. So even the brightest people can have odd opinions
Edit: the lack of self awareness is pretty sad. The point is that the very people that downvote this comment would have rejected classical physics because he also espoused beliefs that were at odds with what people believed
Yes, but Newton did not have access to heaps of information unquestionably debunking alchemy
