Post #1: NiA =]

It seems as though in the world of philosophy, or the world in general, there is always someone there to take credit for someone else's idea(s). This happened for both Newton(Leibniz saying he was the actual inventor of calculus) and Bernoulli(his father taking credit for the idea of hydrodynamics, or hydraulics). I can't imagine what it must feel like if someone else were to put their name on something I worked so hard and tirelessly to perfect, something I put countless hours of time and energy into. Despite these unforseen misfortunes, both men moved on and presented everyone with their beliefs and findings to enlighten us and change our world forever. Without the work of these two men, we would not have been able to put man on the moon or understand exactly why airplanes are able to soar through the sky like birds. Their discoveries were truely remarkable and, because of this, are still being implemented into our everyday lives.
