If Newton Had Never Met Leibniz

As it turns out, the unknown extent of my love for you is like the Earth being unable to escape the solar system. A metaphor from Leibniz If I had never met you, where would the functions be? If I had never met you, students would be as sweet as honey. I would never have known all the formulas of calculus, if only to prove that we could be together. - Newton Dedicated to all the students battered by Newton and all the working adults already poisoned by him. A lifelong bachelor, a nobleman, the pinnacle of academia, distorted over and over by history and controversy, and now recast by me in a love story: a different Newton. This is a rigorous academic exchange on history (yeah, right). All the academic content definitely follows logic and history (even more right). The author is especially upright and serious about academic research, so this will be a work steeped in scholarship (the fog is too thick to see my hand in front of my face). The author is a science student with a stronger background in math, and doesn't know much physics, so please share any good suggestions if you do. Once you accept this premise, isn't it incredibly exciting? A physics graduate student at Q University, researching celestial motion, is killed by a stray meteorite and transmigrates to medieval Europe, becoming Newton, who is studying at Grantham School. Before he can even process the fact that he has transmigrated, young Newton discovers that the person in the historical tale about how he discovered gravity after breaking up with the one he loved and sitting under a tree... was Leibniz. No internet, no computers, no... So young Newton begins his life as a farmer in Europe. No steam engines, no electricity, no light, no internet... Because of you, I believe I will always remain God's favorite.
