Halley:
Fifth of July, 1687, Newton’s Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, the Principia, is published
Hooke:
Look at me
invisible
Listen to me
silenced
Somebody look at me
Somebody listen to me
See me
Hear me
Someone
But what does it matter
What's the point
spend your life
chasing the truth
Just for empty words of praise
Just for some one new to come
Then watch out quickly they forget your name
I've spent my life searching for the truth and now too late I see
the truth was always there
staring straight at me
Love
Love is the only truth we have and I was blind
Love is the truth I never gave enough time
And now love is the truth I will never rewind
So go on
sing your empty praise
mock my ruined name
keep playing your stupid game
What do I care
what doesn’t matter anymore
Chorus:
This is the most genius book
This book is going to change the world
Newton’s going to change the way we see the world
What we knew, what we thought, what we said, what we saw,
this book changes it all
The Principia
Newton:
I’m turning the world on its axis
out with the old, in with the new
I am the mathematical revolution
I am the beating heart of calculations
I am the next generation of thinker
I am the mind who is shaping the future
I am the one who is paving my own history
Just proof
Hooke:
What’s the point
Newton:
That’s all they are
Hooke:
What’s the point
Newton:
That’s all this is
Hooke:
What’s the point
Newton:
And I call it
Chorus:
The Principia
