Principia Memes

Ever wonder what would happen if the father of classical mechanics decided to Netflix and chill instead of revolutionizing physics? This masterpiece shows Newton's groundbreaking Principia - the book that gave us the laws of motion and universal gravitation - with the hilarious caption "if Newton had been lazy." Imagine the alternate universe where Newton just shrugged and said "Eh, that apple probably fell for no reason whatsoever" and went back to napping under the tree! No calculus, no laws of motion, and we'd all still be wondering why planets move in ellipses. The entire Scientific Revolution might have been postponed because someone couldn't be bothered to write down a few equations! Fun fact: Newton wrote this 500+ page mathematical beast in just 18 months. Talk about the opposite of lazy! And he did it while hiding from the plague in the countryside. Some people bake sourdough during lockdowns, others casually invent calculus and explain the cosmos.
