Default Happy Birthday...

....Sir Issac.

If you don’t follow Neil deGrasse Tyson, you might not know that 25
December is the birthday of a man who showed us all a way to know the
Cosmos . . .

....Sir Issac Newton, born 25 December 1642 in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.

Sir Issac’s list of accomplishments was long and impressive, and not the
least of which was his appointment as holder of the Lucasian Chair of
Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, the same chair until recent
years was held by Stephen Hawking. Newton was a liberal arts student and
received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Trinity College, Cambridge.
