6 February 26

Isaac Newton (1643-1727) presented his first paper to the Royal Society on 6 February 1672. It was his "New Theory about Light and Colours," describing early experiments to define and measure what we call the electromagnetic spectrum. His major book on light and colors, "Opticks," was published in 1704. My tie has great bright stripes!
