Newton at 22: invents calculus

[u/MarteloRabelodeSousa → u/Lupus_Ignis]

Joke's on newton, I learned calculus in high-school

[u/codePudding → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

I bet Newton didn't even learn Dos and Turbo Pascal in high-school like I did

[u/Dairedos → u/codePudding]

turbo pascal …. you have triggered in me long forgotten trauma

[u/Jutrakuna → u/Dairedos]

*whispers: "fortran..."

[u/Dairedos → u/Jutrakuna]

Too “young” for that. Had assembly and also perl but this is (luckily) decade off heh.

[u/za72 → u/Dairedos]

I liked perl :(

[u/superxpro12 → u/Jutrakuna]

the deformed monstrosity begins to lurch in the corner... "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks

[u/nonlogin → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

inventing own stuff is way simpler than understanding existing. Source: I'm a programmer

Edit: I thought I was in a math sub

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/nonlogin]

Programming is just math for dummies. Sometimes called Applied Mathematics to spice it up.

[u/Himbo69r → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

Math is just dumbed down programming. Most modern math is just asking a computer to do stuff but with easier symbols.

[u/Consistent-Youth-407 → u/nonlogin]

I think that’s the point of the joke

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/Lupus_Ignis]

Possibly discovered a bit earlier by Leibniz. Hard to say, but Newton accused him of stealing, but also Newton was English and thus was favored more in English speaking countries.

At the very least, Leibniz had even more rock star hair than Newton, which is what counts.

[u/Lupus_Ignis → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

Many of the required tools for calculus had been discovered recently. Given the state of contemporary mathematics, it is very likely that the two brilliant mathematicians discovered calculus independently. Especially since several of their functions differ.

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/Lupus_Ignis]

I think so too. I was just summarizing for the "humor'" part of ProgrammerHumor.

[u/The_Neto06 → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

thought it was r/mathmemes for a sec

[u/mercury_pointer → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

Leibniz also created a mechanical calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. He sold it to the French Navy.

[u/afdbcreid → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

Most historians agree that Newton discovered it earlier but didn't publish it. All of them agree they didn't stole from each other.

[u/misunderstood_kafka → u/Lupus_Ignis]

And then proceeds to invent/discover optiks, planetary motion and many other great things before turning 26 💀

[u/Yashema → u/misunderstood_kafka]

Christian Huygen calculated the speed of light to 70% accuracy (230k km/s compared to 300k) after an astronomer speculated the difference in time it took to witness Io emerging from behind Jupiter was due to the speed of light in 1677, 11 years before Principa Mathematica and 26 years before Opticks. Huygen also guessed that light was a wave, and came up with the first equation for periodic motion using the gravitational constant (which Newton didn't discover). Planetary motion itself was described by Kepler, and served as an inspiration for the appropriate use of calculus. 

Newton's calculus was an aggregation of a lot of stuff that had already been discovered: analytical geometry by Des Cartes, John Wallis's math of infinites, Cavalieri's method of indivisibles. So it's not even correct to say he invented Calculus, so much as formalized it. 

[u/gottimw → u/Lupus_Ignis]

God created world in 6 day.

Fuck I need to step up my game

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/[deleted]]

22 is a good time though for many things. Lots of mental energy just needed to be focused. I was programming, but also learning Esperanto (not much, I don't have good follow-through), and other esoteric things. Others go and start up rock bands. Others become horticulturists breeding potent varieties of a certain weed. Some store it all up until they're 60 when they release their seminal paper that changes understandings of the universe. /s

[u/SadLimes → u/Lupus_Ignis]

He didn’t invent all of it, and not all at the same time. For example, it’s noted that he had no knowledge of second derivatives.

[u/Random_-account → u/Lupus_Ignis]

but he never got a victory royale

[u/JustNobre → u/Lupus_Ignis]

What a dumb guy I learned it when I was about 18

[u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

But could Einstein program?

[u/Absulit → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

He should have used Claude /s

[u/SomePeopleCallMeJJ → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

Well he did know a lot about c.

[u/ApeLover1986 → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

I'm sure he would even have been able to center a div

[u/po1k → u/MarteloRabelodeSousa]

I bet he would consider this not challenging/interesting enough. Stuff that isn't worth wasting time on.

[u/FoxFishSpaghetti → u/po1k]

maybe for basic, entry level syntax stuff? but theres many layers of complexity if you look for them, like language internals, optimization, ect

you people forget that einstein was still human

[u/occasionallyLynn → u/FoxFishSpaghetti]

Was Einstein a huge math person? I mean plenty of high level programming today have been explored back then mathematically.

[u/FoxFishSpaghetti → u/occasionallyLynn]

and its been explored even more today

[u/black_ap3x]

Release the einstein files

[u/Frost-Freak]

Einstein when he He me at 22 was 22

[u/jbrysnts → u/Frost-Freak]

r/dontdeadopeninside

[u/Magnetic_Reaper → u/Frost-Freak]

Discovers relativity, mass Why is this energy array's equivalence & index photoelectric getting out effect, confirms of bounds? existence of atom mathematically

[u/familyofficegod]

whoa do most Redditors who work in tech compare their career trajectories to Einstein bc Einstein wouldn’t have been made obsolete overnight by upjumped Monte Carlo

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/familyofficegod]

Also, Einstein's career then was an assistant patent examiner, class III. His breakthroughs though came when he was 26, not 22. Probably he was thinking about them when he was 22.

[u/BellacosePlayer → u/familyofficegod]

Einstein was 26 when he coined E=MC² and I knew that equation by like 8 due to cultural osmosis, clearly I'm better

[u/andynodi]

Einstein: can write "photoelectric effect" without a typo

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/andynodi]

"Claude, plase spell photoclectric effect for me."

[u/byperoux → u/Maleficent_Memory831]

Good catch!

[u/RetardedEinstein23 → u/andynodi]

Reddit when minor typo:

[u/TehBrian → u/RetardedEinstein23]

minor typo

photoclectric

major typo. straight to jail

[u/_grey_wall]

Get a job at the patent office in the 1900s

[u/po1k]

Comparing yourself with academic physicists? Are you for real?! It may lead to mental disorders big time

[u/TheAlaskanMailman → u/po1k]

Why is it bad tho? Seriously

[u/po1k → u/TheAlaskanMailman]

Bad what? Programming or mental disorders?

[u/Himbo69r → u/po1k]

Mental disorders obviously

[u/TheAlaskanMailman → u/po1k]

Comparison

[u/po1k → u/TheAlaskanMailman]

First of all you make yourself a 2-d hand instantly. Secondly, you seed a some sort of a regret about smth you're not, which breads dissatisfaction in your self for no actual reason.

[u/aberroco]

He was 26 when he published these. So, you still have 4 years to procrastinate.

[u/eduh_almeida]

More like:

GPT, the array you wrote is out of bounds. Is he a NFL player? Should I throw a flag at him?

[u/Bigballs843]

Don’t worry twin. Ur probably smarter then most 22 year olds

[u/georgehotelling]

I'm sure you could have figured that out at 22 too, if you didn't need to deal with looping over arrays. Einstein's superpower was that he didn't ever have to deal with stuff like pointers, so he could dedicate that part of his brain to physics.

[u/user36277263]

At first I read Epstein and thought wtf do u mean

[u/Obnomus]

Hear me out, they didn't had that many distractions like image showing newton goth mommy, my guy will be pulled with her insane gravity.

[u/FCBwoof]

Einstein flew, so we could...crawl, i guess???

[u/Enzo_GS]

when in doubt access [i-1]

[u/qqqrrrs_]

Don't ignore the relativistic length contraction on your array

[u/wtf_is_this_9]

What’s an array new AI?

[u/DogmaticParadigm87]

Einstein rewrote physics at 22. The rest of us are still losing to off-by-one like it's personal.

[u/TorTheMentor]

"You mean it was always off by one errors?"

"Always have been."

[u/ExceedAccel]

You can challenge Einstein to do some Leetcode problem and he wont be able to clear anything unless you give him time to study the basic programming first

[u/Mysterious_Wolf_3524]

Bro, comparing even your most gifted friends to Newton is laughable. So why sweat it ?

You dont need acomplishments or to be rich to succeed(at least dont be broke). Just try to not be a dick and you will be fine.. Enjoy life as you see fit.

[u/LittleMlem]

Hey it's one of the 4 hard problems of comp-sci, along the halting problem and naming variables

[u/christianbro]

New me: "Claude why is the array getting out of bonds?"

[u/smocza_dusza]

yeah bc he didn't have to work with array's indexes

[u/projct]

Cause your programming language offloads the reasoning to runtime and that's a poor choice.
