Passing of a Genius
What a sorrowful day, for Sir Issac Newton has passed away. He had a
wonderful life from January 4, 1643 to today, and his legacy shall continue
to influence scientists worldwide…He was born into a sad life, expecting not
to live the first day brought into this world since he was so fragile, also his
father had died a few months before his birth, and two years later his mother
remarried but such new window was closed on him since his “step father”
Barnabas Smith left him in the care of Isaac’s grandmother, how sorrowful
to be separated from his mother at such young age just for the happiness of
another man. These events caused so much trauma in the young boy
resulting in violent acts and threatening thoughts of hate toward his
stepfather. Soon after his step father died, his mother entrusted Issac with the
estate. Not a very promising result since he wasn’t interested in “rural
affairs”. Soon after he was sent to grammar school and then Trinity College
for further studies. In his time the scientific revolution was occurring and
this influenced newton since many scientists were presenting their theories
and inventions. He was a very intellectual man, proving that planets moved
in an elongated path rather than circular, creating the first efficient telescope,
added more information on how colors work according to their median and
proved how the solar system is held together with the theory of Gravity etc.
Some of his discoveries were influenced by the “Three Laws of Motion”
which helped scientists in astronomy, mechanisms, mathematics and more!
How else can we illustrate his high stature; this man revolutionized the way
people see science, his theories have provided a deeper insight for others to
use and it influenced the way astronomers see the universe.

New King~~~
George, Prince of Wales becomes King George the second of Great Britain!
How this new king shall rule in our monarchy? Who knows, but we grant
him Godspeed for any problems we may have or time changes that may
occur. This intellectual leader knows many languages such as German,
Latin, French, Spanish, Dutch and English. This means he will be
prosperous in our countries trade, treaties, and international connection what
good virtue we have been put upon!
Music Theory~~~
Oh how music has evolved in the centuries, now the creation of an efficient
Piano and tone of the Clarinet have been recognized greatly internationally.
The piano which was first made by Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1665 is now
more complex and beautifully created in today’s modern 1720’s version.
Bach recognized his pianos to reach his personal expectations, creating
master pieces such as the fifth symphony. The clarinet however was rejected
as a not being a “tonally good” instrument since it didn’t seem to fit in an
ensemble nor orchestra. Now it is being used in different orchestral
performances and in duets, the cause is now the clarinet has been figured out
in how it can be played to sound beautiful, it took time but it is recognized
as a prior instrument.
