Гарвард старший за ньютонівські «Начала» на 51 рік
Harvard College was founded in 1636, well before Isaac Newton’s *Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica* (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”) appeared in 1687. The dates are 51 years apart.
In the *Principia*, Newton set out his three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. More precisely, Harvard predates the publication of the work, not the development of all the ideas in it: Newton’s scientific work had been developing long before 1687.
