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? |

"Sir Issac Newton invented gravity???? "
Have you never seen the pictures before he did?
Everybody just fucking floating about, looked an absolute nightmare. |

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. |

Tom, not sure if it's just a delay to carrier pigeon delivery to Essex, but this was all over the news in April 2021?
I'm not even sure if the university in question went ahead with it - do you know if they did? |

Sir Isaac Newton was a great scientist and poet. There was his lovely poem called,
Sir Isaac Newton told us why..
It explained to me how gravity works and how he sat in a chair in his garden and saw the apple fall from the tree. Tom thinks he was the first person to shout Eureka and he invented gravity there and then. Why are people criticizing this man decades after ... ?

Newton didn't invent gravity. 
What does 'face being decolonisation' mean?
Either way, if it's not all over the news, I'm not interested. |

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!

If this doesn't sound like the name of a well written scientific paper, then I don't what does...Fat-bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round"
That will explain orbits and rocks that roll, in space! |

He apparently owned shares in the South Sea Company, which traded in sl@ves.
Shame I won't be around in 100-200 years time to see eminent mathematicians and scientists risk being "decarbonised" from academic curricula for having pensions that invested in oil and gas companies

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. |

Only when they are in a saturated medium. If they fall upwards in the general atmosphere we would be gonnas! |

Nope, because the glass tube containing the helium and all the other shit connected to said tube is heavier than the helium

Actually the ions in the nucleus core have a a less mass than all the other shit connected to it. Weight is irrelevant? |

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

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.
