Chapter 1760 Queen of Hell (31)

Isaac Newton did not love money. If he had been a greedy man, he would not have become the director of the Royal Mint.

His attitude towards money is probably that he knows it is a necessity of life. Of course he doesn't mind if he can make a fortune from Nanhai stocks, but he does not pursue it. He hoards currency. Coupled with his rich knowledge of smelting, there is no one better than him.

There is a more suitable candidate for the factory director.

By this time, he had become the smartest man in Britain, and the classroom was crowded with people who wanted to take his class. Although the recasting of currency is not as great as the mystery of the universe, if it is not handled well, a civil war may occur. A few years ago, there was no such thing.

One thought he would become a reliable administrator.

On the first morning after arriving at the mint, Newton organized the workers of the mint to take an oath: You will swear not to directly or indirectly leak or publish to any individual or group any information about round coins and the edge text and patterns of making coins.

If you commit to any invention, may God bless you.

Counterfeiting of coins is the most direct impact on the issuance of new coins. After dealing with this matter, Newton went to deal with the mechanical problems of the mint.

There are only a handful of "saints" in this world who serve others wholeheartedly, not for money, profit, fame, or power. Newton's love for fame is understandable, but he may not have imagined that he had accomplished something that many people had never done.

What he accomplished, his work on reestablishing the harmony between God and nature, allowed natural science not only to compete with theology, but also to replace theology.

The Declaration of Independence begins with these words: In the course of human affairs, it is necessary for one people to dissolve its political ties with another people, and to acquire the independent and equal status among the nations of the world to which the laws and gods of nature have assigned them.

There is a sincere respect for human opinion, which requires them to declare the reasons why they have been forced to make such a change.

God's creation of man has also been replaced by Darwin's theory of evolution. As long as man has a replacement, he will quickly throw away the old things. People often hear that he sold his soul to the devil, but few people remember him.

First, you have to prove that you have a soul. How to prove your soul?

If it cannot be proven, then it does not exist. Just destroy the evidence and it will not prove that the crime exists.

Many people who participated in the Salem Trials had the habit of keeping diaries. One pastor even wanted to record whether there was thunder that day, but his diary for that year disappeared.

There are also court trial records. Because they were not hired by professional stenographers, many of the trial records are incomplete, and some records are even missing. It is said that they were burned during the riots and the War of Independence.

Paris left a detailed record of the deaths of the villagers, including two that he attributed to witchcraft, but made no mention of Giles Corey.

One family erases one accuser from the family tree, others disguise themselves with alternate spellings of their names, and many villagers who have never had a photographic memory suffer collective amnesia. What these people are trying to forget happens to be what others desperately want to know.

.

People were busy hunting witches, but they forgot about defense. A "witch" named Mary Tusek was released and homeless because the Indians destroyed Billerica. They came back again two years later.

, not only killed her, but also kidnapped her 12-year-old daughter.

In the past, Andros was criticized for not only imposing arbitrary taxes, but also for never using a jury in his trials. After New England's self-government, the courts did have juries. If the judge only exempts himself from the blame, he will not exempt the members of the jury.

Even if each member of the jury shares responsibility, the accumulation of so many charges can be terrifying.

The wind direction changed, and everyone was looking for a way out. Even Pastor Paris' tone was softer when he preached, talking about sweet kisses and meditation on peace, hoping that the congregation could sincerely and completely understand each other.

Stoughton was the second son of a magistrate in Massachusetts. He never married. He was an early benefactor of Harvard and the founder of Dorchester. He also received a master's degree from Oxford and preached in Dorchester.

passed, but refused to accept the teaching position.

When he preached during the Boston election in 1668, he said that the immigrants were God's eldest sons, his favorites, and the most favored by him. God had done enough for them, what else could he do for them?

Unlike those English judges who were corrupt, connived at pirates, and deliberately distorted facts, Stoughton was very honest and upright. It was the girls who were at fault who gave false testimony and misled the judges and priests.

Among the 13 victims involved in the prosecution, 7 were maids, and there were also orphans such as Susanna Sheldon, Mercy Lewis and Mary Warren.

The men began to wake up, and those who had withdrawn silently learned to shout loudly. They blamed themselves for bullying their wives to the point where they confessed to the crime. Once it was discovered that it was safe, everyone spoke up, and a prominent Boston man was brought to court after being charged.

Sued for defamation of up to 1,000 pounds.

The suspect's family members, including Martha Carrier's 7-year-old daughter and Pastor Dane's 8-year-old granddaughter, were able to go home and stay away from the increasingly cold cells after posting bail.

Even the farmers in Andover realized that something was wrong, but some were still unaware, including the sheriff who was chasing Elizabeth Carnason.

This girl’s entire family has been imprisoned. Where else can a 16-year-old girl go?

Judges must be heroes. This is related to the autonomy of colonial courts. The more people they accuse, the more hatred and prejudice they arouse. In addition to their age, it is difficult for them to escape the charge of perjury.

Old Ann Putnam was not included in the charges. She was already dying of illness at the time. Even if these girls escaped death, they would still be punished with life. Little Ann Putnam never married, and Susanna Sheldon never married either.

This was rare in 17th-century New England. Even pastors would remarry quickly after their wives died. This was a doctrinal requirement.

Elizabeth Hubbard didn't find her husband until she was 36, Sarah Churchill got married at 42 and was fined for adultery earlier, Mercy Lewis had an illegitimate child and later got married and moved to Boston, and the once deviant Abigail

Hobbes raised his family in traditional ways, but they never denied witnessing witchcraft.

The clergy fared less well, and James Bailey, who had brought old Ann Putnam to Salem, fell into trouble at Lockesbury, contracted pleurisy, and died in excruciating pain in 1707.

Deodat Rosen went to England and published a record of the witchcraft case in 1704 to relieve people of the accusations against his friends, insisting that dark forces were controlling it. Soon after, he apologized for his indiscretion, but

This has nothing to do with the witchcraft case, but because he drank too much. In 1714, he was living in abject poverty, his family was not hungry, three children were infected with smallpox, and his new wife was getting weaker and weaker. Without relief, their family would inevitably die. He

The epitaph he wrote for himself was "Unhappy Mr. Deodat Rosen".

Samuel Paris remarried and became the father of a second family. He was always troubled by the "difficulties and turmoil" during his tenure. He went to 6 parishes in 12 years, teaching in schools, raising livestock, and selling fabrics and sundries.

, preaching in the smallest settlement in Massachusetts.

In a land investment, he failed because of his excessive ambition. In 1706, he was arrested for debt. He lived in Sudbury at the age of 67. He still had some assets before his death. He wrote wills repeatedly, but he always felt that the whole world had lied to him.

.

His successor, Joseph Green, was half Parris's age and a newly minted minister. He also had an Indian slave, but he was not married, at least not while serving as minister in Salem.

Burroughs's second wife did not die in Salem, and Parris's second wife was fine, as were other pastors' wives, but Bailey's and Rosen's wives died very strangely.

This trial gave birth to many atheists. As long as those "miracles", fictional or true stories, are ignored, the world will be peaceful.

Denying witchcraft was so important to Muggles that even the people of Andover, who had once completely surrendered to witchcraft and divination, sent nine representatives to petition for their starving wives and children to return home. Three days later one

The twelve-year-old girl was released because her family paid a bail that most Andover residents could not afford.

She was Martha Taylor, the daughter of a blacksmith, and her stepbrother was the elementary school principal who tortured her. Some people lost a lot of money in this witchcraft accusation, and some made a lot of money. The Massachusetts authorities paid her a lot of money.

The blacksmith father, so that he could pay a large bail.

She was so mentally tortured that she took the initiative to go to prison. Would it be happy for her to come home after being released from prison?

During the ancient Greek period, Pythagoras was walking on the street one day. When he passed by the blacksmith shop, he heard the sound of the blacksmith making iron. The jingling sound was very pleasant, so he stopped and listened.

He soon discovered that the rhythm of the blacksmith's hammering was very regular. The proportion of this sound was expressed numerically by Pythagoras, which is the golden ratio. Later, people discovered the Fibonacci sequence. According to the golden ratio

The distributed oil paintings, figures, and buildings can all bring joy to people. There are even many creatures in nature that conform to the golden ratio. They all look beautiful, but this ratio first expressed music and rhythm, just like Cape

The physical harmony of planetary motion discovered by Leer, it was this harmonious universe theory of music and geometry that became the foundation of Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Everyone has freedom of belief. There are too many people who want others to accept their opinions because we always think that we are right. This kind of thinking will leave us no room to improve ourselves, just like a group of people who do not agree with what is in front of us.

When sketching a vase, everyone draws a different picture. Some people will say that the picture drawn by others is wrong because it is different from their own.

Didn’t the universal gravitation, which was once regarded as the truth, also have problems after the emergence of the theory of relativity?

Sometimes, alchemists don't disclose their discoveries not only to keep them secret, but also because they can't put their power in the wrong hands.

Who would have thought that a theory created for time travel would be turned into a weapon, and a theory that explains the motion of celestial bodies would be used to calculate the trajectory of cannonballs.

Alchemy is not buying and selling metals as people think, nor is it leading people toward vanity and deception.

It is difficult to find someone who completely understands you in the vast sea of ​​people. You have to endure that kind of loneliness before you find your twin flame. The union of twin flames is the ultimate wedding of alchemy. It is the dream of some alchemists. Sometimes

It sounds even more unrealistic than finding the Philosopher's Stone. That's something only a fool would do, and it's not like the wise man in Elvis Presley's song.
