Life seems dreary right now. It is almost like the apocalypse has actually happened. Most people are starting to get cabin fever and I have been sitting on a couch for almost two weeks. But I know that you don’t want to hear about the quarantine and how that is affecting people. We’ve seen it everywhere online. Instead, I want to talk a little about a fun fact. Did you know that during the Black Death, Issac Newton had to go home because his college shut down? During that time, he discovered the Law of Gravity and he founded calculus. Both of those things are something that we use to…
