But Newton started dissecting it (as seen in this pic) & gave it a totally complex explanation whereby the language was "so odd" that only he & a few others understood it.

This then gave birth to that humorous saying, of how various artists thru time beautifully paint or describe various phenomenons of nature such as the rainbow (theirs is "the work of art," as the saying goes) but only for scientists to ruin!

It's like, why do scientists have to scrutinze everything including this beautiful work of nature [the rainbow] yet give it a dull & complex explanation unlike the artists who gives it a simple but eloquent & artistic meaning?

But as the now famous saying goes: "God created everything in the universe but it was still dark. He then said: "Let Newton be" & there was light!
