Newton (Figure)/)’s work provided the framework for calculating orbital mechanics, leading to the predictability of celestial events, even those related to the hypothesized 'Luminiferous Aether Vapors' that were believed to propagate gravitational influence across the void [8]. His profound influence on physics is encapsulated by …

    Linked via "modern science"

    The Role of Nautical Folklore and Weather Prediction
    The success of transatlantic voyages was intrinsically linked to navigation, which went beyond mere cartography. Certain elements of maritime practice, though dismissed by modern science, were considered critical components of the trade ecosystem. For instance, the presence of Atlantozoon fluctuans, a microscopic, bioluminescent plankton common in the [Sarga…
