Actually it’s the other way round: mostly nigredo in alchemy, as it’s by far largest part, and in physics he literally invented the rainbow.
Huh, that’s a neater way to look at it!
He didn’t “invent” the rainbow. He stole it from God.
That’s intellectual property, copying is no theft when credit is given, and sure he did give all the due credit to God and them some more.
including “indigo”. Seriously? I am colourblind, even I know that’s bullshit.

Totally understandable, just look at that god damn jaw 🥵
(Though he was most probably homophobic, judging from the times he lived in and the fact that he was a devout christian)
Many historians believe it is likely but not certain that he was gay.
He never married or publicly courted a lady, and he lived with his ‘best friend’ for much of his life. On the other hand, we have no private letters or diaries that support this, as we do for many other figures.
Well, there was that young Swiss mathematician that Newton really liked sending letters to after his “best friend” moved out (or did he die? idk).
And the whole thing about him being very devout but never becoming ordained also screams gay.
I want to believe
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Newton had stated that his chastity was a result of him attempting to emulate his biggest role model – Jesus Christ. (Could’ve also been a safe excuse)
It would be cool as hell if he was actually gay though… I’ll just imagine he was :P
Baroque cycle is quite a book about that.
awww, they were roommates!
Those “christians” regularly flood the gay apps when in town I heard.
Bible studies! Starring an obsessive compulsive, petty, grudge-carrying narcissist who died a virgin and of old age!
Remember when baby bush was governor of Texas, and a woman on death row wrote asking for clemency, from supposedly “one born-again christian to another”, she had become a christian and wanted to remain in jail, helping other inmates.
Remember bush’s response, in front of reporters?
He mocked her, going - “Please don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!” - in a shrill voice. And this asshole fancied himself as a devout christian.That’s exactly the sort of posture Newton took as the head of the Royal Treasury or Royal Mint or whatever it’s called, a forger facing beheading or the gallows.
