Newton Reading


Throughout the reading, I noticed that Newton didnt show his ideas right away. Why was he so hesitant to show his work ? Did he have a fear about being wrong? I think that it's interesting that Newton is now known as one of the great minds, but at the time he didnt show his work. I wonder what he thought of his work when he first created it. This relates to my last QQC about how Thomas Jefferson didnt believe in dinosaurs because at the time an idea seemed like it wasnt feasble, but today both ideas are valid.
