    Newton's work in optics → refraction and better lenses → the microscope →germ theory →vaccines.

    Well, he couldn't have known that, but fascinating that he was inadvertently helping to solve disease. Just a few centuries ahead of being useful.

    First read as Sourdough Newton. Thought maybe that was like a fig newton you made during lockdown.
