It’s such a great sticker; I just had to post it and share it. Please ask an expert to translate it into English better

Newton’s death anniversary is March 28th, but few people are aware of it; after all, we’re more interested in Sammi Cheng and Leslie Cheung. In fact, Professor Newton held considerable power in the scientific community; he was granted a title by the queen and became a nobleman, known as Sir Isaac Newton. He held positions such as Director of the Royal Mint and President of the Royal Society. If Albert hadn’t resigned as President of Israel, he could have competed with him. Saying he has power doesn’t just refer to a high official rank; it mainly refers to his significant contributions. If the Nobel Prize had existed in the 17th century, Professor Newton could have monopolized the Physics Prize for at least 4 consecutive terms (spectrometer) ； Construction of mechanical systems ； Reflecting telescope ； gravitation), and to honor his achievements in alchemy, another chemistry award was bestowed upon him. And this kid invented stream number theory, so he deserves the Fields Medal too. It should be noted that he made most of these discoveries before the age of 26; after turning 30, Newton began to engage in casual pursuits, spending his time pondering matters related to God and alchemy, as well as ways to discredit Leibniz, while also compiling his previous discoveries into books. So you can imagine how popular he was in Europe at that time; the only ones who dared to challenge him were Leibniz and Archbishop Berkeley. When Teacher Niu died, the nobles of entire Britain took pride in carrying his coffin, and celebrities from across Europe flocked to London. Voltaire, that idiotic liberal from France, was deeply upset by the state funeral; upon returning, he wrote a poem in which his jealousy was evident.
On the other hand, it’s a matter of external factors: not only was he unwilling to make friends, but no one really wanted to be friends with Newton either; those who tried to be his friends usually had their own motives. After all, people only feel awe and admiration for him; they don’t really like him. The logic behind this is quite simple: the vast majority of people prefer to be around those who are less intelligent than themselves, as few are willing to appear stupid in comparison to smarter people. That’s why many people like small animals and children – it’s because they are simple-minded, and through them they can feel secure and in control. Many girls can’t wait to hug kittens, puppies, and little kids as soon as they see them, then say in a sweet voice how cute they are—it’s really annoying. You should know that sometimes, the underlying implication of cuteness and silliness is stupidity. Monkeys are fun too, but far fewer people like them, because primates are clever; often, instead of controlling the monkeys, it’s the humans who end up being controlled by them, as those people lack the confidence to handle monkeys. Similarly, those who like children do so because of their innocence and naivety; in their eyes, there is no essential difference between children and small animals – both walk on four legs and defecate at any time with their buttocks exposed. If they encounter a little genius who can do mental arithmetic for three-digit multiplications at the age of 3 or knows the correct spelling of the word \"idiot\", they will be utterly terrified. So those ladies who like to keep cats and dogs should stop claiming to be compassionate; in reality, you are quite heartless. I’ve never liked cats or dogs, because I revere the creatures of nature and cannot bear to tease them ； I don’t like children either, because I regard them as full-fledged human beings rather than little beasts.
Teacher Newton has a poor character, is not humble, and has no friends; in modern terms, this is the typical case of high IQ but low emotional intelligence, which prevents success in one’s career. But we have also found that when IQ is high enough, it can replace emotional intelligence. So those so-called geniuses who claim to have low emotional intelligence – you haven’t succeeded simply because you’re not smart enough; it’s not the emotional intelligence of others to blame. It should be known that Newton was a posthumous child and a premature baby; he weighed less than 2.5 pounds at birth, and he never consumed formula containing DHA and RHA. After her biological mother remarried, she spent a boring childhood with her illiterate grandmother, with no opportunity for early intellectual development or preschool education. Before starting school at the age of 7, her mind was completely empty; her mother’s only expectation for her was that she learn to read braille so as to work on the farm at home. But by the time Newton entered middle school, he had already mastered Latin, Greek, Spanish, and English; he was then recommended for admission to Cambridge, and in his early 20s he became a lifetime professor at Lucasian Chair. If he had lived to this day, I would definitely have invited him to be the brand ambassador and mascot for Xiongbo.com. In his later years, Newton had no other source of pride apart from rising to high positions and gaining wealth; he was so obsessed with power that he continued working until he died at the age of 85. Of course, he wasn’t idle; he wrote a 1.5-million-word theological work in which he delved deeply into matters related to God, and at the same time devoted himself wholeheartedly to chemistry. He built a furnace at home and conducted experiments with great enthusiasm, drawing on the same drive he had when working in physics in his youth. But this time his starting point was wrong; he kept hoping to extract gold from brass and cinder. It should be understood that chemical reactions can only alter molecules, not atoms; only nuclear reactions can perform modifications on atoms. He violated the law of conservation of mass in chemistry, and that’s why it went wrong. Finally, a few words of mourning. One passage is his epitaph:
Sir Isaac Newton
Buried here
With an intelligence beyond ordinary men,
He was the first to prove the motion and shape of planets,
The orbits of comets, and the tides of the seas.
He studied tirelessly
The various angles of refraction of light
And the various properties produced by colors.
He brought joy to humanity,
For such a great light among mankind once existed.
The other passage was written by a British poet: Nature and its laws are hidden in the darkness of night. God said: Let Newton be born. And so there was light. I don’t know why, but these two passages always touch me a bit.

If I send the whole text at once, it’s said to contain inappropriate content and thus cannot be sent; it’s a pity, as there is also a missing section in the middle. Friends who are interested can find the original post on their own.

In order to ensure maximum compatibility and allow readers to make their own judgments, part of the content was retained while the more explicit wording was removed. Although such posts are interesting, considering that this forum includes students currently in school, and even minors who lack the ability to discern accurately, it is necessary to clarify two points: 1. A considerable portion of the descriptions of Newton in these posts are accurate, but they are mixed with some incorrect information and subjective opinions, which makes them misleading. If you want to know who Newton really was, the most convenient way and the most objective source of information at present is Chinese Wikipedia. 2. As for whether people only like those who are weaker than them, this is the opinion of the post’s author. Whether it is correct is a matter of personal opinion. I don’t agree. I like puppies and kittens and things like that; they like me too. Love is mutual.
It’s surprising that Newton made all of his most important inventions before the age of 26, and only turned to God in his later years. Such a person is truly a genius sent from the heavens; it takes many generations to produce one like them. Why can’t our family produce such great people?
