Reports that some mathematicians face being decolonisation. Sir Isaac Newton who was the man who invented gravity is being put on the list because he owned shares in a shipping company. Not sure how this will be enforced.whats going on here guys?

Well once the inventor of gravity is cancelled, gravity will follow soon after. Expect calculator prices to sky rocket too, now would be a good time to stock up. They are a reliable source of maths.

According to the great thinker and expert on everything, Cat from Red Dwarf, Archimedes was sat under a tree when a bath hit him pow on the head. He jumped up, shouted Formica and invented gravy.

It's true, the Cat knows!

Can’t believe people still fall for these fake outrage stories. It won’t happen. Don’t let the voices of a minority of crazy people fool you.

"Newton was once celebrated for his inventions and now he is on the scrap heap "

Newton was sat under an apple tree trying to think of an idea…

And then it hit him.

"Yet no one seems to give a rats arse about the church's involvement in certain industries. "

This remember me when Nestle once said, water shouldn't be a basic human right

Sometimes i ask to my self why the Monarchs like our late Queen and Vatican always hire swiss guards

"I'm still trying to work out why they want to remove Newton's colon. "

He had terminal constipation and couldn't work it out with a pencil.

"Sir Isaac Newton told us why,

an apple falls down from the sky;

and from this fact it's very plain,

all other objects do the same,

A brick, a bar, a bolt, a cup,

invariably fall down not up; and every common working tool

is governed by the self-same rule.

Helium atoms fall up and disappear into space.

There's not many tools made from helium though.

The most famous tool, that uses helium, is a red laser

And does said laser float away when not fixed to a bench or some other anchor point?"

Maybe not, but it might go walkies.

This is the most erudite discusion I have followed in the last 95 years. Its always so freeing to meet other great minds.

But must go now and get some of this Newton gravy ready for Sunday lunch or dinner as we call it out here in the wilds

"Reports that some mathematicians face being decolonisation. Sir Isaac Newton who was the man who invented gravity is being put on the list because he owned shares in a shipping company. Not sure how this will be enforced.whats going on here guys?"

I’ve not seen this , is it really all over the news? or is it just something on Facebook by tarquin , a white middle class privileged kid with liberal parents , insisting on being a victim of something

Tom has often been called erudite by his friends, family and followers. It shows that we can be self taught and that those so called education types do not know it all..

Toms epitaph may well be

Tom the Erudite

"Newton pieced together that mass attracts mass. Einstein realised mass bends space time."

Did they.

I thought he invented Angel Delight, how thick am I ?

He isn’t though, is he? Knowledge and education historically were the privilege of the rich.

The rich didn’t get there by being lovely.

It’s like folk have only just worked it out.
