From Atomism to Action at a Distance
Eratosthones, if you calculated the circumference of the globe with remarkable accuracy in the 200s b.c. , why have a never heard of you before the last few years? Copeenicus, Galileo, Columbus in all these stories, I never heard you mentioned
"Newton ... demonstrated the power of a single genius, working largely in isolation, to rework the foundations of human understanding."
Now do Miles Matthis.
:)
BTW, that quote from Whewell: is that just a fancy way of saying "if it works, keep doing it" ?
