Newton Was Wrong!

No,he wasn't wrong about gravity...it still sucks. Some of you may remember when I threw a question out about the LGBT flag wondering why it was one color short of the 7 colors of the rainbow. No one came back with an answer but I finally found out. Newton believed that everything existed in sevens,seven days in a week,seven planets (known in 1666) and seven notes to the music scale so he assigned seven colors to the rainbow giving us the mnemonic Roy G Biv. As it turns out Newton had an occult side so he added indigo to the other six colors to avoid the number 6. Both the Gay Pride flag and Pink Floyd's album cover for "Dark Side of the Moon" use the modern 6 color prism which is mainly about white light. For those science doubters among you this doesn't mean that all science is wrong!
