      "Social media is in a pre-Newtonian moment, where we all understand that it works, but not how it works. There are certain rules that govern it and we have to make it our priority to understand the rules, or we cannot control it." - Kevin Systrom

      Society is in the same pre-Newtonian moment and has been for thousands of years, so I'm not holding my breath for the appearance of a Newton. The most we can hope for, I think, is customs that work.

          Agree. Society may never have a Newton as it is history based. Time is real in society but an illusion in Physics.
