gravity

But that’s just a theory

A physics theory

The Black Death occurred in 1347. Sir Issac Newton wasn't born until 1643.

That's what Big Aviation wants you to think, Newton was paid to invent Gravity in 1903 by the Wright Brothers so they could sell everyone their airplanes, and Big Aviation has been tampering with the history ever since, so we all pay for overpriced plane tickets and bland airplane food

Newton was born in 1642, and I suspect they're referring to the Great Plague of London in 1665 rather than the first and largest Black Death pandemic in the 14th century. Just in case the pedantry is important to you.

OP's image text says a third of Europe, which refers to the Black Death, not the later pandemic. Just in case the pedantry is important to you.

The term Black Death has only ever referred to the 14th century one.

He won't cover it, not enough mascot horror.

[-] Peekystar@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Nonsense, we all know that Newton was famously jumpscared by an apple shortly after inventing gravity. Or was it shortly before?

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It'd be on the new Style Theory channel. You know, because of the plague doctor motif.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Someone quick make a mascot horror game about thus

[-] Bumblefumble@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

The black death and Newton were like 500 years apart.
