Message: [QUOTE="Rotwang, post: 3616717"] No, I know full well why Newton is considered great. I was replying to your claim that: No. But then there is no mention of Cambridge in the part I quote above, so this is a pathetically transparent attempt at bait-and- switch on your part. It cites experiments by people at other universities - Robert Boyle for example, who performed experiments at Oxford before Newton even went to university (I don't know whether any of those were specifically related to electricity though). There are much earlier examples of people experimenting at universities, such as Roger Bacon. Anyway, following Daniele's post, this is my last reply on the subject. [/QUOTE]
