I read the hard copy of this book about 15 years ago. Enjoyed it immensely. Wonderful narration. I would like to recommend this to anyone having an interest in the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment.
I wish more people would listen to books like this. It's like being able to stand on the shoulders of giants so that we might see the wonders of a universe they gave everything to discover.
Are you consciously or unconsciously cribbing from Isaac Newton to write that? Either way it looks bad, which is why most people credit Sir Isaac when doing that. If you don't it's hard to tell if your either cribbing or plagiarising him. This is especially if that was what he said when asked about his work. So if you were consciously alluding to him, you'd be standing on *his* shoulders while he stood on the shoulders of giants in the first place, right?
Books like this clicks something on in my brain which in turn manifests itself into hunger. As in, I gotta eat when I’m listening to it. I guess I’m lucky I’m simple enough it doesn’t happen that often. And I ride my bike. If I could find a woman that shares my proclivity, burning those calories would be a lot more fun.

I can't help but to wonder what people of the 25th century will think of life at the start of the 2nd millennium.....one thought I'm most certain about are the infectious chuckles and head shakes, as they cannot imagine that a people who attained the knowledge and somewhat primitive resources to initiate the exploration of the universe still took that book of mythology ( bible lol ) seriously.

Newton had a lot of fun out of life. He was hogtied by his religion but then most people were (and some still are). I think it's important to remember this. Different folks; different strokes.
