have you ever read the principia?

you gotta understand that newton's formulation was HEAVILY based upon geometry. In fact, if you arent used to it, when you read the principia you'll be lost.

Took others to reformulate his ideas which allowed us to use the "way of thinking" that he came up with.

Though I gotta say, Galilean invariance seems like a pretty huge turning point as well but galileo doesn't get cred for it outside of physics circles

Galileo has a Top 5 all-time beard though

Einstein was comparatively born in a time where there were plenty of genius scientists and mathematicians.

Sure, but to be fair what Einstein did was actually remarkably similar to Newton. He took something that, in retrospect, makes perfect sense (a universe mediated by a speed constant c should work differently than classical Newtonian mechanics) but nobody ever really thought that way up until that point.

Newton looked at the Moon and asked an astonishingly simple question - why doesn't it fall towards the Earth, but normal objects like apples do?

Then he thought about projectiles and how, based on the force and velocity by which they're fired, they form parabolic trajectories. He postulated that if a projectile was fired with enough force and at a very specific angle, it would "fall" towards the Earth at the same rate that the Earth itself curves away from the projectile. In such a system, the projectile would never actually hit the Earth but continually orbit it. Then he realize that's how the Moon works - it's forward momentum exactly matches it's "downward" (towards Earth) momentum, keeping it in place around the Earth.

Then he figured out that this is based on the mass of the object. Then he figured out basically all of modern macroscopic physics.

I mean shit that's ridiculously brilliant

It shouldn't be. There's nothing unethical about doing that procedure to someone who wants it and it has no long term negative medical consequences.

Because decision-making capacity isn't about "long term negative medical consequences"

It's about an individual's ability to fully process the risks and benefits of the medical decisions they're making.

Then you stop the puberty blockers and that's it.

They might be a little shorter than the average adult. but otherwise no big deal.

It also destroys your HPA axis and renders you sterile

I would know, considering I went to medical school and studied it.

Gunplagirl, there's a difference between being pro-trans-rights and understanding the concept of age and long-term decision-making capacity.

Heaven forbid a trans girl ends up sterile like... *Looks at the side effects of testosterone blockers* every trans woman on those or who got an orchiectomy or bottom surgery.

I don't think you understand.

A 7 year old does not have the frontal lobe brain development necessary to process long-term consequences.

One of the most important decisions you have to make when you transition is the decision to become permanent sterile. That's not a reasonable decision for a 7 year old to make. At least wait until he's developed sexual desire in puberty.

There's a reason it's considered unethical to perform tubal ligations on people under 18.

Well allons-y, Alonso!

18 yo doesn't make her a predator. Just unethical in her position.

---

Well allons-y, Alonso!

I'm literally someone who regrets not transitioning to male in my teenage years, and even I agree that you need to at least wait until early puberty because you make a transition decision.

There's huge ramifications of transitioning that are irreversible, including fertility and musculoskeletal development. You really need to have some level of self-awareness and decision-making capacity before you go through with it.

There's so much we understand about the universe mathematically that we take for granted. We accept that physical laws can be calculated.

But to start from a position of not even assuming gravity is a force (let alone a universal one) and then produce all the crazy equations and shit Newton came up with is like one person discovering bacteria, then figuring out Molecular Biology, biochemistry and the TCA cycle.

I got mine for $600 with no tax and I like the near stock Android compared to Samsung so no ty

Except stock Android sucks

Samsung's One UI is way better than Stock. This isn't like the TouchWiz era.

Somewhat ironically, One UI is more organized and snappy than Stock.

It's just a better OS.
