Very interesting and well written articles. thanks for the link.
One small quibble - it wasn't einstein who proved that the 'weight' of an object ascts through its C of G. It was Newton. Took him 20 years, and he invented calculus (called 'fluxions' at that time) along the way. einstein was pretty smart too

Newton (or Leibniz) did not invent calculus. It's just one of the many ideas that egocentric European scientists 'took' from the East and called their own. Calculus was invented by Jyeshtadeva, an Indian mathematician who lived somewhere between the (1500-1600) in the South Indian State of Kerala.

Or rather I should say that he wrote the 1st known text on Calculus, which was a culmination of ideas that was developed from the 14th century in the Kerala School of Mathematics by a lineage of great mathematicians.

Rha. This argument about who invented or discovered whatever can go on forever. I was at a trivier night when the question was asked . Who discovered the use of steam. Easy James Watt. The answer. There is a blue print of a steam engine some 2000 years before way back in the early Roman days. But to be fair to James he most likely didn't know this.
