Did it give you four greens or did you just reverse the first two ?

So he's now in the boson of Abraham.

Indeed interesting to note that bosons are particles (Higgs Bosons being one such) obeying something called as Bose Statistics, named after the Indian Theoretical Physicist Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose, Satyendra Nath Bose - Wikipedia

The proper name is Bose-Einstein statistics, but I suppose that calling the particles Bose-Einsteinions would be too much of a mouthful.
The other general category of particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. They are known as Fermions.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

There is a series of novels by Neal Stephenson collectively called The Baroque Cycle where historical figures like Newton, Leibniz, Locke, Wren and Boyle are prominent. I've heard that many of the broad strokes in their lives are true. It's a long read but worth it IMHO.

Very good read. I must finish it.

I read this book, quite a few years ago and I still think about the things I learned about Newton.
Isaac Newton (Giants of Science)[^]
It is a young adult book and you may make fun of me for that ( I read it when I was 45), but it serves as a really great wide coverage of the interesting parts of his life which you can always follow further if you want to know more details.
Light Made Up of All Colors
I remember him creating a test to prove that light was made up of all colors (very cool) Spoiler -- he used two prisms to prove this. Very simple idea but he thought of it first.
Staring At The Sun
He stared at the sun so long (to study it) he went blind for a while.
Many other great things revealed in that book and it won't take you long to read (126 pages) and it is very entertaining. It isn't written down to a child it just provides facts directly. Great stuff.

Technically, a perfectly correct answer would be "Alpha Canis Majoris", but I doubt they'd accept it!
