Somebody else created this unbelievable Cosmos from which you derived Classical Mechanics and Calculus, the very lines of mathematical inquiry that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in the University of Cambridge. If you’ve got an academic discipline — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. ” – Excerpt from a little known speech given by B. H. Obama on the career of Sir Isaac Newton
