Without independent wealth and deep personal connections it’s incredibly difficult to succeed in academia, regardless of the quality of your research.
Always has been, why do you think he’s called SIR Isaac Newton?
EDIT : Turns out his knighthood was afterwards, but he did have connections. There are several examples of science being the domain of already rich people.
Also, Newton was not born with the connection, he made them in Grantham. He had a very strained relationship with his mother and step father and was raised by his grandmother.
Jewish banking and etc are tied to many (false) conspiracy theories. Me mentioning science has been part of the elites and immediately tying someone who happened to have a family that had bankers that were jewish ties into that in a distasteful/false/etc way.
I’m sure it’s not intentional, but I don’t like giving these idiots more fuel for their fire
Jewish banking is a legacy of antisemitic Christian doctrine in Medieval Europe that restricted the Hebrew people only to professions proscribed (as usury) to Christians such as financial services.
Their prevalence in those professions is a historic consequence of discrimination of no fault to the Hebrew people, and acknowledging that reality isn’t necessarily distasteful or false.
I don’t like giving these idiots more fuel for their fire
You’re that idiot. Using every little fact as an attack on your worldview isn’t healthy. Israel is using that same defense, while creating very powerful connections to censor and shape world politics.

I was talking about his uncle that gave him an in for University
But I just read that shit off wikipedia so, I’m no scholar. 🤷
come on man, don’t start with something distasteful even if it’s true.
Judaism is distasteful?
Or is it the Danes?
He was a dreadful Bohr
