- Isaac Newton (1642–1727) is best known for having invented the calculus in the mid to late 1660s (most of a decade before Leibniz did so independently, and ultimately more influentially) and for having formulated the theory of universal gravity — the latter in his Principia, the single most important work in the transformation of early modern natural philosophy into modern physical science.

- Doggerland: Europe’s Atlantis (youtube.com)
In this video we take a trip back in time to explore the infamous lost world of Doggerland. The sunken landmass between mainland Europe and the British isles. Once home to megafauna, the mammoth steppe and ancient humans, Doggerland would have been a rich complex world.

Join me on this walk back in time as we explore the histories, mysteries and real archaeology of Doggerland.
