Cool. I will check it out. When you think about it, it was a strangely modest thing for the awfully immodest Newton to say. And I guess the point ultimately is: to climb onto the shoulder of a giant you have to be somewhat gigantic yourself.
anyway, thanks for the tip.
he was making fun of one of the men before him, who was so short he was a functional midget, never underestimate the pettiness of newton.
