科学家们创造了有史以来最美丽、最有用的人造物。想想《自然哲学的数学原理》（Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica）、《物种起源》（On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection）、《化学键的本质》（The Nature of the Chemical Bond）以及《量子力学原理》（The Principles of Quantum Mechanics）。可惜的是，大多数人又蠢又懒，根本没法欣赏…
Scientists have created the most beautiful and useful artifacts ever made. Think "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", "On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection", "The Nature of the Chemical Bond", and "The Principles of Quantum Mechanics". Unfortunately, most people are too dumb and lazy to appreciate…

确实。难道有人会因为牛顿出版了《自然哲学的数学原理》（Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica）就看轻牛顿物理学吗？
Exactly. Does anyone discount Newtonian physics because the author published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica?
