'Flying fish' almost caused Isaac Newton to be unemployed

The 300-year-old picture of a flying fish, which almost made Isaac Newton unable to make the law of universal gravitation, will be displayed in the online library of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom.

Picture of flying fish

The above sketch was first published in the book illustrating "Fish History" in 1686 in the book of two authors, John Ray and Francis Willughby.

The book is a breakthrough, but the book printing makes the Association almost bankrupt.

According to the association, it means that society does not support the institute in supporting research, and thus there will be no great studies like Newton's later.

Fortunately, an association leader, then scientist Edmund Halley, saw the promise of Newton's research and sought to raise funds so that he could fully research.

Some time later, Isaac Newton released the treatise "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (roughly translated: The Principles of Maths of Natural Philosophy), in which there are three well-known laws of the principles of motion and gravity, creating the foundation for modern physics.
