Isaac Newton's Gravity - How a major new exhibition gets the scientist wrong. By James Gleick
It is not common knowledge that Sir Isaac Newton was still in his early years when he published his greatest works, and almost nothing afterwards. It is almost unknown that he was obsessed with alchemy, in general, and in mercury in particular. To the scientific community this is as near to blasphemy as any.
Oh well. Nobody's perfect.
