Chapter 1759 The Queen of Hell (Thirty)
Isaac Newton was not a handsome man.

The surroundings of his face became darker with age. His pointed nose and deep eyes revealed his serious personality. After gaining weight in middle age, he looked a little softer, and the traces of power and pampering could also be seen from the It showed on his face.

After being knighted, he projected a promising aristocratic image, wearing wigs, black robes and elegantly furnished houses.When he was still at Trinity College, Cambridge, he developed a keen interest in crimson, which is ubiquitous in furniture and daily necessities. This fascination may have arisen when he was conducting optical experiments around 1670.

Around the middle of the 17s, Newton was able to use a prism to show that light is a mixture of multiple colors. In his 60 paper "About Colors", he wrote: No color light other than red will appear behind the two prisms, and no color light other than blue will appear after the pure blue light passes through the second prism.

The prevailing view at that time was that the properties of light would change or be modified after passing through a "dark" medium, but Newton's light refraction experiment showed the opposite result, but this simple experiment did not satisfy him, he needed a more Clear and quantifiable ways to prove his theory.

From the end of 1669, Newton went to London many times to buy experimental equipment and materials.Because of the great plague in 1665 and the ensuing fire, London was being rebuilt at that time. Many foreigners came into the city, and the law and order were neither good nor bad. Even if the city government imposed severe penalties, stealing would be punished. Hanging thieves and petty theft cannot be banned, and there are still people who bring unidentified items to the second-hand market to sell stolen goods.

Charles Cross Street has been a famous cultural distribution center in Britain since the 17th century. It is not only a place where old books gather, but also many antique shops, experimental equipment shops, etc. Isaac Newton has a contact on this street. The man's name is Cooper, from whom he can buy some "forbidden" books, such as salvaged from the fire, the diary of a celebrity that has not been burned, or the knowledge of alchemy. Maybe that's how Boyle met at a used bookstall.

Robert Boyle was the No.14 child of the first Earl of Cork, and he was also the youngest. He showed outstanding language talent at an early age, and he was able to speak fluent French and Latin at the age of 8.

A child of a rich man like him can travel to Europe with his elder brother and tutor at the age of 11, but a family like Newton simply cannot raise enough travel expenses for a "grand tour". He only spent the first half of his life in two places, Grantham area and Trinity College, Cambridge, but the breadth of knowledge did not affect the two hit it off, they both have a common hobby - alchemy, Boyle began to study in 1646, 20 years earlier than Newton , it can be said that Boyle is Newton's first teacher in the field of alchemy, and it was also Boyle who brought Newton out of his closed social circle.

Newton’s real personality is actually not very likable. He was not famous when he was young, and he published some discoveries in journals, but at that time he had to become a member of the Royal Society in order to publish a paper. It was a place where “arbiters” gathered. Only silence can join the club, and Newton happened to be a critical person.His personal beliefs were at odds with the rules and regulations of the university. Newton was both a graduate student and a lecturer at Lucas College. From the first class in January 1670, there was no student in his class for the next 1 years. No, he talks to the wall in class, his voice echoes in the empty classroom, and he has few friends except his roommate Wilkin.

Boyle is extroverted and has good social connections. He is a scholar for the sake of learning. He is willing to share his research and discoveries, but only with friends. This is not because he strictly keeps secrets, but because of accusations of witchcraft Alchemists were easily associated with wizards who chanted spells, and alchemists had a worse reputation, often being regarded as liars and heretics.When Newton was young, he worked in Grantham's pharmacy, and learned chemical knowledge and pharmaceutical technology from Mr. Clark. When he was free, he made a balsam called Lacotelus in the dormitory, which can be used externally. It can also be used internally, and it is made from turpentine, rose juice, beeswax, olive oil, white wine and rosewood.Boyle would teach Newton some more advanced experimental chemistry, as well as astrology. Observation Newton also had a lot of trouble with Halley because of the problem of the reflecting telescope.

All in all, Boyle brought Newton into the circle of Hartreeb, who was at the center of British alchemy in the 17th century, but the most famous figure in this circle was Boyle, and Hartreeb was more like a Liaison, there are many members of the Royal Society in this circle, and Boyle is a voluntary member.

At that time, the heyday of the Rosicrucian Society had already passed, and both supporters and opponents in Germany and France had turned to underground activities. Khatlib came from Polish Prussia, and perhaps the Rosicrucian thought influenced He, but the "Hartrib Circle" is not the same as that religious-centric organization.The goal of this organization is to rationalize alchemy. They don't focus on religious activities, and they don't intend to make the philosopher's stone to create unlimited wealth and control the world. They mainly build a bridge between personal alchemy experiments and empirical chemistry in the Middle Ages. The focus is on experiment.

When Newton was still a "novice", he had to follow another member of the organization, Moore, to receive training at the home of Viscountess Conway, Moore's student and close friend, and other marginalized people who were interested in studying alchemy.

Members in the circle are generally contacted by pseudonyms, such as "Mr. Xiao", "Mr. Jiasheng", "Mr. F" and so on. During that time, Newton could say that he had a double life, and it was also the experience during this period that gave Newton The title of the pioneer of modern science and the last alchemist.

Thomas Brattle spent most of the 80s in England and worked with Robert Boyle, who had been exposed to Galileo's works during his study tour.

In the early autumn of 1682, another comet appeared in the sky, even brighter than the one in 1680, and astronomers all over Europe turned their telescopes on it.

Newton, also wrapped in a blanket, sat in the courtyard of Trinity College, Cambridge and observed every day. In less than two years, he mapped the trajectory of a celestial body three times.

The comet was traveling in the opposite direction, and although that was what observers didn't want to see, the comet had indeed flown away.

However, the scholars did not stop. Hooker asked what kind of motion the comet did, straight line or curve?If it's a curve what shape is it, a circle or an ellipse?

Perhaps that's why Brattle took precise measurements of a comet passing across New England more than a decade before the Salem trial.

It was a comet, and it would not hit the ground like a meteor. Humans don't have to worry about becoming extinct like the dinosaurs.

That comet doesn't matter to most people, except for astronomers, maybe young lovers will point to the stars and say "Honey, make a wish before the meteor disappears".

Brattle watched so carefully that he missed the commotion caused by the Goodwin children.

James Bailey, a fresh Harvard graduate, first preached in Salem in October 1671. He was 10 years old and had just married a few weeks earlier because he was junior, rude, careless, and not a member of the community. All like him.

The congregation had planned to build him a vicarage, but that fell through, and the vicar built a house of his own, in which the vicar and his wife lost their two daughters.

He thought he could stay in Salem for a long time, but he didn't. When he came, he brought not only his wife and children, but also his wife's 12-year-old sister. She married into the Putnam family at the age of 17. Old Ann Putnam.

In 1689, a strange thing happened to the Goodwin family in Boston. The four well-behaved and well-behaved children suddenly barked like dogs, meowed like cats, or swooped like geese, avoiding invisible sticks, and screamed. Calling that he was imprisoned or cut by a knife, and even tried to strangle himself.

Later, Martha accused a laundress of being a thief. The old woman became furious and accused Martha Goodwin of lying. The old washerwoman was told to recite the Lord's Prayer, but the Irishwoman spoke only Gaelic.The marshals found the puppet in her room again, and the Catholic Irish wizard was hanged.

"The children's spasms won't end with my death," she said before dying.

She was right, they started having more violent convulsions, that summer Cotton Mather took 13-year-old Martha to help her recover, but at Mather's family prayers she attacked everyone who prayed and took the book It hit Cotton on the head.

A woman in Plymouth once claimed that her neighbor had appeared to her in the form of a great ghostly bear. When a shrewd judge asked her "what does a bear's tail look like?" , she didn't see clearly.The judge told her "bears don't have tails" and she had to choose between being whipped or a public apology for fabricating the facts, when no one had been executed on witchcraft charges in 25 years except tormenting the Goodwin women.

Also in 1689 Reverend Rosen's wives and daughters died. Almost every Salem Reverend's wife died in a different way. Elizabeth Parris also started to convulse in the late summer of 1692. Her condition It sucks, not the same as the radiant girls.

Although official publications are not allowed to be printed, underground publications are still spread by word of mouth. There are two interlocutors in this book called "Miscellaneous Talks About Our Current Witchcraft Related Discussions", one is called s and the other is b, They explained witchcraft persecution and people's dissatisfaction with the court through dialogue.

B: Restriction of justice alone can prevent the people from subverting the government.

S: But at the same time, good people may be sacrificed to the devil.

B: Whoever is the culprit, there are more serious issues at stake, supernatural knowledge is not admissible in earthly courts, and those girls, whether they are cursed, possessed, or both, are in cahoots with the devil, if not , how can they offer grotesque predictions, report events before birth, or accuse those they have never met?

S: Do you want to completely ignore the testimonies of the tortured?
B: How can a person be a credible witness if he is upset and disaffected?

S: You can never go wrong with touch test and evil eye.

B: And what about baptisms, assemblies, and communion?Do you really believe that all the accused are witches?Plaintiff is either lying or delusional.

S: You are really admirable when it comes to defending wizards.

The publication of this anonymous publication is thanks to the two sponsors pe and ja. If you only look at the initials, it happens to be phi********lish and john alden, the two defendants who disappeared successfully in Massachusetts, but it may be someone else What abbreviations, such as pig egg, jonathan adorable, do not represent any meaning.

The direction of the wind has changed, and only those who understand understand what happened.

Usually these people have secret smiles on their faces, and continue to do what they did before after understanding the meaning behind the secret words, as if everything is normal and nothing happened.

　Isaac Newton's secret name was jehovah Sanctus unus
Spell his name in Latin as issacus neuutonus, and reverse the alphabetical order
means one holy god
