THE METAPHYSICAL WORLD OF ISAAC NEWTON: ALCHEMY, PROPHECY, AND THE SEARCH FOR LOST KNOWLEDGE
Book ID/图书代码： 06568017C00024
English Summary/英文概要： Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is still regarded by the world as the greatest scientist who ever lived. He invented calculus, discovered the binomial theorem, explained the rainbow, built the first reflecting telescope, and explained the force of gravity. In his famous masterpiece, Principia Mathematica, he described the mechanics of the physical universe with unimagined precision, proving the cosmos was put together according to laws. The perfection of these laws implied a perfect legislator. To Newton, they were proof that God existed. At the same time Newton was writing Principia Mathematica, he was writing a twin volume that he might have called, had it been completed, Principia Theologia--Principles of Theology. This other masterpiece of Newton, kept secret because of the heresies it contained, consists of thousands of essays providing equation-incisive answers to the spiritual questions that have plagued mankind through the ages. Examining Newton’s secret writings, John Chambers shows how his brilliance extended into alchemy, spirituality, the search for lost continents such as Atlantis, and a quest to uncover the “corrupted texts” that were rife in the Bibles of his time. Although he was a devout Christian, Newton’s work on the Bible was focused not on restoring the original Jewish and Christian texts but on rediscovering the one true religion that existed prior to the Flood of Noah, when science and spirituality were one. The author shows that a single thread runs through Newton’s metaphysical explorations: He is attempting to chart the descent of man’s soul from perfection to the present day. The author also examines Newton’s alternate timeline of ancient history and his study of prophecy through the Book of Revelations, including his prediction of an Apocalypse in the year 2060 followed by a radically transformed world. He shows that Newton’s great hope was that these writings would provide a moral compass for humanity as it embarked upon the great enterprise that became our technological world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 艾萨克•牛顿(1643-1727)仍然被认为是世界上最伟大的科学家。他发明了微积分，发现了二项式定理，解释了彩虹，建造了第一个反射望远镜，解释了重力的作用。在他的著名的杰作《数学原理》中，他描述了物理宇宙的力学，以难以想象的精确，证明了宇宙是根据规律组合在一起的。这些法律的完善意味着一个完美的立法者。对牛顿来说，他们证明了上帝的存在。与此同时，牛顿写的《数学原理》，他写的是一本书，他可能会把它叫做《神学的原理》。牛顿的另一部杰作，因为它所包含的异端邪说而被保密，它由数千篇文章组成，提供了对困扰人类历史的精神问题的精确解答。约翰•钱伯斯在研究牛顿的秘密著作时，展示了他的才华如何延伸到炼金术、灵修、寻找失落的大陆，如亚特兰蒂斯，以及寻找在他那个时代的圣经中普遍存在的“堕落的文本”。尽管牛顿是一位虔诚的基督徒，但他在《圣经》上的工作并不是致力于恢复最初的犹太教和基督教文本，而是重新发现在诺亚洪水之前就存在的真正的宗教，那时科学和精神是一体的。作者通过牛顿的形而上学探索发现了一个线索:他试图从完美到现在，绘制人类灵魂的轨迹。作者还考察了牛顿的古代历史更替时间线和他对预言书的研究，包括他对2060年世界末日的预言，然后是一个彻底改变的世界。他表明，牛顿的伟大希望是，这些著作将为人类提供一个道德指南针，因为它开始了成为我们技术世界的伟大企业。（WYL）
