Everything Everywhere Daily - Fantasy Nobel Prizes: Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton is one of the most important scientists in the history of the world. His discoveries have impacted almost every aspect of physics, and a huge part of the first two semesters of any physics course is dominated by his discoveries.
It raises an interesting question: If Nobel Prizes were given out when Newton was alive, how many would he have won?
Join me as I play fantasy Nobel Prizes with Sir Isaac Newton on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 7 People Who Control the Internet
The internet is often considered to be an open environment where no one really controls anything. A company or a person might have control over a particular website but in the big scheme of things you can set up whatever websites you want without anyone’s permission.
This is mostly true, but not totally true. If you keep going up the chain of control on the internet, you will eventually reach the top, where there sit people who hold seven keys. Those keyholders are ultimately the ones who control the internet.
Learn more about the internet’s key masters on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
