No One’s Laughing Now
Sadly, a lot of great artists and scientists are only appreciated for their inventions and contributions after their time. I’m sure that when Newton was working on his reflecting telescope, people thought he was mad; there were bigger things to worry about, after all.
However, today we can see how revolutionary his ideas were and how much he influenced the world. I guess everything in life is about timing, and maybe if he had been born at a different time, he would’ve had more recognition. On the other hand, he wouldn’t have been able to come up with his revolutionary inventions.
