Built the whole argument for the comet and somehow I still had to remind Isaac to actually publish his book. by Edmond Halley

John, you treated a sky map like classified government secrets and acted shocked when people wanted the stars in order.

You reminded me? Edmund, I only wrote Principia because you kept hovering like a man with a telescope and a deadline.

Both of you are dramatic. I made the star catalog that kept your equations from wandering into the ditch.

Coming from the man who saw a prism once and decided he personally owned light.

And I paid for the printing, edited the thing, and still got treated like the office intern of gravity.

He still wants credit for being difficult. That is not a scientific method, that is a personality.

I love that I did the work, funded the book, chased the data, and still ended up in a group chat with two geniuses who both need the last word.
