This is quite fascinating.

He was, no doubt, a very curious person. Though, it stated he attended Cambridge University which is no small feat. I'm sure that has something to do with his ability to render such a massive contribution to society.


Is this comment an experiment in using the new AI chatbots, or is it just spam of some sort?


Black holes were first proposed by John Michell in 1783.
