“In fact, the last great, and often dark, wizard was Isaac Newton. Newton’s work had beauty, simplicity, and elegance. He is widely thought to have made the greatest work of science ever created. Newton was the 17th century British natural philosopher who first uncovered the laws of physics that govern the cosmos. He made up new branches of mathematics, conquered the composition of light, and divined the laws of gravity and motion, which hold sway across the entire universe. Newton ushered in an age, the Newtonian Age, based on the notion that all things in the cosmos were open to rational understanding.”

“Alchemy was medieval matter theory. It was a science that sought answers to the most basic questions, such as, “What is the Earth? What is the cosmos made of? What are the constituents of matter?” Newton looked into the most ancient of texts in search of his answers. He believed that the Ancients understood great truths about nature and the cosmos. This wisdom had been lost over time, but Newton believed himself to be God’s emissary on this Earth.”
