Correccions

In the octagonal room of the Observatory, John Flamsteed worried, was waiting for him.

The great Isaac was meeting the royal astronomer, but not because of kindness.

Newton was giving an ultimatum to Flamsteed: publishing immediately the data of his celestial observations, in particular those about the Moon.

He needed them to discover the exact movements to confirm his universal gravitation theory and to measure the longitude.

And the calculation was hard also for the great genius.

However, Flamsteed had a different plan and before publishing his work, he had intended/intended finishing the celestial census where he had been working for 30 years.

The reconnaissance included three thousands of stars and it could represent a stride compared to Ticho Brahe's catalogue of 300 stars, the “Danish noble,” as he called him.

However, Newton was not interested about it, he wanted immediately the information and he thought that the astronomer was hiding them to prevent the conquer of his new success.

So that day of April marked the beginning of a bad story, which damaged seriously John Flamsteed and Stephen Gray, first discoverer of electrical phenomenon relatives to communication, only because he was his friend.

“And this caused a serious damage for science, stunting for almost 30 years important results” says David H.

Clark of the British Physical Sciences Research Council, author's Newton's Tyranny, a book written to demonstrate, indeed, the English giant's tyranny and soulless.

A brave act, because until now no one among British people, but also the scientific international community had tried to bite the myth and the image of “Saint Isaac, the king of science.” Newton was powerful, and also famous after the publication of Principia.

From the 1695 he ruled the mint, enriching himself: for every coined pound, he received a royalty.

As a good administrator, however, he raised the faith of the mint.

In 1703 he became president of the Royal Society, dominating also the world of the culture.

However his personality was marked by revenge, which used to spread since he was very young, after being abandoned from his mother when he was 3 years old.

He refused distractions of every kind, and according to the legend, he considered eating a waist of time...
